The most important
spatial element which helps understanding and defining a place are the type of
plants which give a certain character or symbol. Although it is difficult to reveal the perception of space  and plant interactions by humans, it can be achieved
through experimental studies. In this study, visual impressions of the users in
evaluating the perception of plants with spaces were determined by experimental
study and the survey technique was used.
The study was conducted in Istanbul, and over 500 people including 100 primary school students, 100
secondary school students, 100 high school students, 100 university students
and 100 university graduates participated
in the survey. In this study, 28 plants, which are frequently seen and
familiar with outdoor areas, were used. In
this study, it was aimed to reveal the opinions about which of these plants
were associated with the mosque courtyard
and which characteristic of the plants were emphasized. Gender and educational
level differences were investigated and results revealed that gender and
educational levels effected
participants’ preferences. According to the results, flower bushes were
preferred primarily for the mosque courtyard, and rose, pine, tulip, violet and
buxus plants were preferred as
the first choices respectively.
