Universities perform a series of socio-economic and cultural functions in addition to being
educational institutions. It is of great importance to provide a livable outdoor for academic staff and particularly
for students through suitable landscape designs in university campuses. In campuses, particularly those which
take place in cities with cold climate such as Erzurum, people long for spending time outside at short intervals
of comfortable seasons since winters last for long. This study was carried out in order to reveal user satisfaction
for pre-design and post-design of open green field at Atatürk University where landscape design was performed.
Therefore, two questionnaires were conducted to students, academic staff, and officers at different time. According
to the results, it was pointed out that users found the field as being poor in terms of visuality (74.2) and botanical
design (71.6) before landscape design. In this sense, it was concluded that it is really needed such a design that will
offer more comfortable service for the students and academic staff who are the primary users of this field. In fact,
through the questionnaire carried out after landscape design, it was demonstrated that user satisfaction has arisen,
75.6% of the participants believe that landscape design is of necessity, and the field which was designed has brought
prestige for the university.
