Abstract

Kent parkı kullanıcılarının memnuniyeti ancak beklentilerinin karşılanması ile mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu anlamda, ziyaretçilerin parklara yönelik algı ve tercihleri kent parklarının planlama ve tasarım süreçlerinde mutlaka göz önünde bulundurulması gerekmektedir. Bu araştırmada, kent parklarının bitkisel ve yapısal bazı unsurlarının park kullanıcılarının algıları yardımı ile değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Böylece, kent parkları içerisinde bulunan birimlerin kullanıcılar tarafından beğenisi ile doğallık derecesi arasındaki ilişkiler saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. Konya İl merkezinden seçilen dört kent parkı görsel kalite değerlendirmesi yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Foto-anket 276 gönüllü öğrenci üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; parkların tamamında ele alınan unsurlar görsel açıdan beğenilmiştir. Ancak, bu unsurların doğallık derecesi ile ilgili değerler düşük olarak saptanmıştır. 17 adet unsurun her biri için görsel kalite ile doğallık derecesi arasında çok güçlü pozitif ilişkiler belirlenmiştir

The Determination of Relationships between Visual Quality and The Degree of Naturalness in Urban Parks

Abstract

Urban park users’ pleasure but it is possible to meet expectations. In this sense, the perception and

preferences of visitors to parks which during the planning and design processes for urban parks should be taken into

consideration. In this study, some elements of the urban parks that vegetative and structural aimed to assessment

via the perceptions of park users. So, it was attempting to determinate the relationships between the elements in

urban parks with preference by the users and the degree of naturalness. Four urban parks were analyzed by using

the visual quality assessment method the center of Konya. Photo-survey conducted on 276 student volunteers. According

to the results, all the elements of park liked the visual aspect. However, the values of these elements were

low on the degree of naturalness. For each of 17 different elements, it was determined strong positive relationships

between the degree of naturalness and visual quality.
