Evaluation of Visual Landscape Quality Konuralp Campus In Duzce University
Öz
With the decline of open and green areas, the importance of nature and management of natural resources is increasing day by day. Landscape perception is not only economical, but also needs to be evaluated in terms of aesthetics. For this reason, the identification and evaluation of visual quality has become one of the most important factors in terms of landscape management. The purpose of visual quality assessment is to identify a landscape in terms of aesthetics and determine the factors and physical landscape components that affect preferences in specific areas. The purpose of this study is to reveal the visual landscape quality of the selected sample areas, taking into consideration both user opinions and expert evaluations based on landscape sense of open green spaces in university campuses. Düzce University Konuralp Campus was chosen as the research area. The photographs were taken taking into consideration the main axes and important points of view in the campus, and 15 photographs were chosen by experts. Two different questionnaire forms have been prepared to be applied to user and expert groups in order to evaluate the selected photographs. In the first part of the questionnaire, questions including demographic characteristics such as gender, age, branch and education level were asked to the users. In the second part, the user group was asked to rate 15 photographs on three criteria (liking, attractiveness, confidence). The expert group was asked to rate the same photographs according to 9 different visual landscape indicators. Correlation analysis was applied to the data obtained from the questionnaire in order to determine the relationships between the level of liking, safety and level of interest and the nine visual quality parameters selected within the scope of the research and the relationships among these 9 parameters. As a result, when comparing the questionnaires with the parameters of the user questionnaires, it is seen that the scores given to the photographs are mostly given close scores. Photographs with high visual quality in terms of users have been evaluated by experts alike. In areas where visual quality values are low, it is necessary to ensure that structural elements are not disturbing and that they are compatible with vegetation. Thus, it is necessary to achieve a more harmonious environment and create more reliable and livable environments.
