In today's world, increasing needs have brought about various consumption problems. This problem has evolved from being a local issue to a global one. Nowadays, it is addressed in various ways under the climate crisis. To address this issue, many strategies and policies are being developed through sustainable design approaches. Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) are the most common among sustainable practices. NbS practices, which are nature-inspired and aim to solve problems by drawing inspiration from nature, contribute significantly to sustainable ecosystems both ecologically and economically. Within the scope of this study, the benefits of integrating NbS practices with innovative, sustainable design strategies, known as Innovative Nature-Based Solutions (I-NbS), have been examined. The chosen study area, "Terra the Sustainability Pavilio " was specially designed for Dubai Expo 2020. The study area is globally renowned for its design, and it holds significant importance both in terms of design and sustainability. It was selected as the study area due to its innovative and sustainable features. As a result of these investigations, an I-NbS index has been created, and a numerical formula has emerged as a result. This numerical formula has been calculated for Terra - The Sustainability Pavilion, which is a highly successful application in hot climate conditions. As a result of the study, the necessity of criteria in NbS applications, the landscape value in I-NbS applications, and the need to be attentive in future studies have been highlighted with expert group data. Differences between applications were investigated with the expert group for the relationship between I-NbS applications and future recommendations. Parameters that express landscape value were extracted from the literature and queried to reveal the relationship between I-NbS and landscape value. These goals were revealed through statistical studies conducted with AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process ) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software. The results of the study have revealed a strong connection between the findings and the data of "Terra the Sustainability Pavilion" among Nature-Based Solutions (I-NbS). The relationship between "Terra the Sustainability Pavilion," which is significant both aesthetically and functionally, and Nature-Based Solutions (I-NbS) studies has been demonstrated through statistical data.
