Streetscape Perception: Interaction of Perceived Legibility and Sense of Security in the Streets of Hasköy, Beyoğlu

Abstract

Streets are one of the major public spaces in an urban environment. Sense of security to environment increases the level of liveability of an urban space in an ongoing structure of the city. People get used to a legible environment easily and legibility of space increases the sense of security and the familiarity. In this study, the interaction of legibility of city and sense of security is examined via streets. Hasköy area, which belongs to Istanbul Beyoglu District that is an old settlement, is chosen as the investigation field. A questionnaire is performed with 80 first and third grade psychology students in total. The relationship between legibility of streets and sense of security is evaluated through correlation tests. In addition, the differences or similarities in the spatial evaluation of participants are measured over photographs of the 6 streetscapes which are classified in terms of landmarks, greenery, enclosure, mystery, and coherence. The study tested the differences / similarities between street perceptions of two student groups using Independent Samples t-test. The results reveal that the relationship between the perceived legibility and sense of security is linear which means if spaces become more legible, sense of security and naturally quality of life increase.
