Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the entire world for more than one year. Countries and cities have carried out different measures and restrictions to reduce the spread of the pandemic that is still ongoing. Parks have been preferred as a safe socialization environment by people as indoor service areas are closed after restrictions. The aims of this study are to reveal the views of visitors on the parks during the pandemic residing in Antalya-Konyaaltı and to determine the factors that influence the views of the visitors. In the study, it was determined that the majority of the participants visited the parks during the pandemic and the first purpose of their visit was to take a walk. Most of the volunteers thought that the use of parks has increased during the pandemic, that the parks offer the visitors the opportunity to spend time in nature/open green land during the pandemic, and that the plan and designs of the park areas should be improved considering the needs that arise during the pandemic and thus their use continuity should be ensured. Gender, marital status, age, job, income level and If the COVID-19 test is positive were found to be effective on the different views of the participants on parks during the pandemic but the educational status of the participants and if they have a chronic disease were not found to be effective. As a result, it should not be forgotten that the planning and design of the parks will contribute to providing better quality service to the users in the pandemic processes that may occur in the future.

COVID-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Parklar Üzerine Kullanıcıların Görüşleri: Antalya-Konyaaltı Örneği

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemisi, bir yılı aşkın süredir tüm dünya üzerinde etkisini göstermiştir. Hala devam etmekte olan pandeminin yayılımını azaltmak için ülkeler ve kentler farklı tedbirler ve kısıtlamalar uygulamaktadır. Kısıtlamalarla kapalı hizmet alanları kullanıma kapatıldıkça parklar insanlar tarafından güvenli sosyalleşme ortamı olarak seçilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amaçları, Antalya ili Konyaaltı ilçesinde ikamet eden insanların pandemi sürecinde parklar üzerine görüşlerini ortaya koymak ve parklar üzerine katılımcıların görüşlerine etkili olan faktörleri belirlemektir. Çalışmada, katılımcıların çoğunluğunun pandemi sürecinde parkları ziyaret ettiği ve ilk ziyaret amaçlarının yürüyüş yapmak olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların çoğu, pandemi sürecinde parkların kullanımının arttığını, pandemi sürecinde parkların kullanıcılara doğada/açık yeşil alanda zaman geçirme fırsatı sunduğunu ve pandemi sürecinde ortaya çıkan ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda parkların plan ve tasarımlarının geliştirilerek kullanım devamlılıklarının sağlanması gerektiğini düşünmektedir. Cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, meslek, gelir düzeyi ve COVID-19 testinin pozitif çıkma durumu pandemi sürecinde parklar üzerine katılımcıların farklı görüşlerine etkili bulunmuştur. Buna karşılık, katılımcıların eğitim durumları ile kronik bir hastalığa sahip olup olmamaları, pandemi sürecinde parklar üzerine katılımcıların görüşlerine etkili bulunmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, parkların planlama ve tasarımlarının daha kapsamlı yapılmasının ileride yaşanabilecek pandemi süreçlerinde kullanıcılara daha kaliteli hizmet sunmalarına katkı sağlayacağı unutulmamalıdır.
