Abstract

Public open spaces provide many services that will improve the physical and mental health of the society and increase the quality of life. These services are an important indicator for measuring spatial quality. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the reinforcement elements used in the Özgürlük Park in the city of Çanakkale according to the spatial quality criteria in the Space Quality Diagram. Situation analysis, which is a component of the qualitative research design, was used in line with the target and the reinforcement elements were evaluated as successful or unsuccessful. As a result, it was determined that the park is an area with high quality value, but the "maintenance" criterion was found to be insufficient in the area. It is suggested that the maintenance and repair works of the reinforcement elements and plant elements in the area should be carried out regularly.

Kamusal Açık Alanlarda Mekân Kalite Kavramının İrdelenmesi: Çanakkale Özgürlük Parkı Örneği

Abstract

Kamusal açık alanlar, toplumun fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığını iyileştirecek ve yaşam kalitesini artıracak birçok hizmet sunmaktadır. Sunulan bu hizmetler, mekânsal kalitenin ölçülmesi için önemli bir göstergedir. Bu çalışmada, Çanakkale kentinde yer alan Özgürlük Parkı’nda kullanılan donatı elemanlarının Mekân Kalitesi Diyagramında yer alan mekânsal kalite ölçütlerine göre değerlendirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Hedef doğrultusunda nitel araştırma deseninin bir bileşeni olan durum analizi kullanılmış ve donatı elemanları başarılı-başarısız olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçta, parkın kalite değeri yüksek bir alan olduğu saptanmış ancak “bakım” kriterinin alanda yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Alanda yer alan donatı elemanları ve bitkisel öğelerin bakım onarım çalışmalarının düzenli olarak yapılması önerilmiştir.
