Kamusal Eşik Mekanlarının Yerinde Gözlem ve Davranış Haritası Teknikleri Kullanılarak Tespiti ve Analizi Üzerine Bir Yaklaşım Önerisi

Abstract

Eşik mekanların niteliği, kullanıcı davranışını şekillendiren kritik ölçütlerden biridir. İyi kurgulanmış bir kent eşik mekanı, ana mekandan izler sunarak kullanıcıyı hazırlar, bu sayede mekanlar arası süreklilik kazandırır, mekanın daha rahat okunmasını sağlayarak verimli insan-mekan ilişkisi kurgulanabilir. Eşik mekanları, incelendikleri perspektife bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterebilir, bu da bunların tespiti ve analizi için bir yöntem geliştirmeyi zorlaştırır. Bütün bunlara ek olarak eşik mekanların diğer mekanlara göre yeterince çalışılmaması ve tanımlanmaması, bütünsel bir bakış açısının gerçekleştirilmesini, bütünün incelenmesini ve ayırdığı iki mekanın daha iyi anlaşılmasını engellemektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, literatürdeki bilgi eksikliğinden yola çıkılarak, eşik mekanlarının tespiti ve analizine yönelik bir yaklaşım önermektir. Örnek çalışma Adapazarı/Sakarya/Türkiye'de eşik mekan olduğu düşünülen Gar Meydanı'nda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada önerilen yaklaşımı ifade etmek için Gar Meydanı kamusal alanına ait örnek çalışma verileri kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen yaklaşım önerisi, çalışma alanının eşik mekanı olarak ön araştırma-incelemesi, çalışmanın kapsamı ve üç aşamalı eşik mekanı tespiti ve analizi bölümlerinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda geliştirilen yaklaşımın örnek çalışma alanı üzerinde test edilmesi sonucunda; önerilen yaklaşımın eşik mekanlarının bütünsel olarak tespit ve analiz edilmesinde kullanılabileceği, mekanların “eşik” durumunun kullanıcı davranışları aracılığıyla yorumlanabileceği anlaşılmıştır.

A Proposal on Detection and Analysis of Threshold Public Spaces Using On-Site Observation and Behavioral Mapping Technique

Abstract

The quality of threshold spaces is one of the critical criteria that shapes user behavior. A well-constructed urban threshold space prepares the user by presenting traces from the main space, thus providing continuity between spaces, enabling the space to be read more easily and establishing an efficient human-space relationship. Threshold spaces may vary depending on the angle from which they are examined, making it challenging to develop a method for their detection and analysis. In addition, studies on "threshold space analysis" have been found to be insufficient. In addition to this, The lack of study and definition of threshold spaces in comparison to other spaces prevents the realization of a holistic perspective, the examination of the whole and a better understanding of the two spaces it separates. The aim of the study is to propose an approach for the detection and analysis of threshold spaces based on the knowledge gap in the literature. The sample study of the proposal was carried out on Gar meydanı- Station square in Adapazarı / Sakarya / Turkey, which are thought to be threshold spaces. Sample study data of Gar meydanı- Station square public space were used to express the proposed approach in this study. The developed approach proposal consists of preliminary research-examination of the study area as a threshold area, the scope of the study and three-stage threshold area detection and analysis sections. As a result of testing the approach developed in line with the study’s objective on sample study area, it was understood that the suggested approach could be used to detect and analyze threshold spaces holistically, and that the "threshold" status of the spaces could be interpreted through user behaviors.
