This study examined the neighborhood-level quantitative adequacy and accessibility of the current and future open and green spaces in Osmaniye city center. The analyses were performed using ArcGIS 10.0 software following the Spatial Plans Construction Regulation. Accordingly, it was found that there were 48 open and green spaces with an area of 278566.33 m2 in the Osmaniye city center, which had 1.15 m2 open and green spaces per person. It was concluded that no neighborhood had enough open and green space. Children playgrounds were the fewest open and green spaces in the research area, and more than half of Osmaniye city center lacked access to children playground. Therefore, suggestions were made to solve the open and green spaces’ unavailability and access problems in neighborhoods considering the study results.}, number={2}, publisher={Kastamonu University}
