Cities, as complex entities composed of interdependent and multi-layered systems, are inherently vulnerable to both natural disasters and human-induced threats. Nevertheless, they are not only spaces exposed to adverse impacts but also strategic hubs for infrastructure, sustainability, technology, and investment. In the face of evolving economic, social, cultural, and environmental dynamics, ensuring urban resilience against sudden shocks and long-term stresses has become a critical priority. This study, conducted specifically for the province of Rize, focuses on the development of green area action plans aimed at enhancing the resilience of coastal cities. The primary objective is to contribute to the creation of greener and more inclusive urban environments that can sustain their functionality during crises, resist various shock and stress factors, and play a risk-mitigating role. Within this framework, living spaces were evaluated with respect to climate change, urban infrastructure, transportation models, and open-green areas. Urban resilience was analyzed through key parameters including population, climate, residential patterns, open-green spaces, transportation systems, land use, accessibility, and walkable access distances. Based on the findings, strategic recommendations for open-green space planning and the formulation of green area action plans were developed to strengthen the adaptive capacity and sustainability of coastal urban environments.
