Tarihi Bir Kent Parkının Yenilenmesi ve Ziyaretçiler Tarafından Değerlendirilmesi: Gençlik Parkı Örneği, Ankara

Abstract

"Ekonomik, ekolojik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik" bağlamında planlanması ve yönetilmesi gereken kent parkları, bu üç bileşen açısından vatandaşların sağlığına faydalar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma parkların sosyal sürdürülebilirliğini “Gençlik Parkı” örneğinde değerlendirmektedir. Çalışma, başkent kimliğine önemli katkı sağlayan büyük bir kent parkının işlevini ve anlamını yitirerek çöküntü alanı haline gelmesi sonrasında gerçekleştirilen yenileme çalışmalarına ilişkin kullanıcı görüşlerinin irdelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler SPSS 23 programıyla analiz edilmiş, değişkenler T testi ve ANOVA ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Parkta gerçekleştirilen yenileme çalışmaları “erişilebilirlik, konfor, görüntü ve estetik, parktaki aktivitelerin yeterliliği ve uygunluğu, güvenlik” konularında yürütülmüş ve kullanıcılara bu başlıklar altında sorular sorulmuştur.

Regeneration of A Historical Urban Park and Its Evaluation by the Visitors: Gençlik Park Case, Ankara

Abstract

Urban parks, which should be planned and managed with "economic, ecological, and social sustainability" in mind, benefit citizens' health in terms of these three components. This study assesses the social sustainability of parks using the example of "Gençlik Park". The study was conducted to investigate user perceptions of renovation work carried out after a large urban park, which contributed significantly to the capital city's identity, lost function and meaning and became a deteriorated area. The data were analysed with the SPSS 23 program, and variables were associated using the T-test and ANOVA. The users were questioned under the headings of "accessibility, comfort, appearance and aesthetics, adequacy and appropriateness of the activities in the park, safety" during the renovation work done in the park.
