AB  - Man-environment relations-more specifically the aesthetic response of people to certain qualities oftheir environment- is a significant research area for urban design, as suchstudies provide for a solid ground for urban design criteria. The purpose of thisstudy is to investigate the perception criteria that have greater impact forsatisfactory streets. For this, a web-based 'virtual tour' was used to elicitresponse to scenes of three urban streets in downtown Ankara, Turkey; each oneexhibiting a range of different characteristics. The 70 subjects whoparticipated in the study were selected from undergraduate student population.Our analysis resulted in categorizing variables of perception according totheir relationship with aesthetic response to urban streets and to find outcriteria that mostly effect sense of aesthetics toward urban streets. Findingsof the study are significant as they can show urban planners and designerscriteria for designing streets to reinforce the satisfaction derived from urbanstreets.
