Evaluation of Alternative Landscape Design Proposals Developed for the Halime Çavuş Tomb in Terms of Design Education and User Preferences

Öz

Turkey has witnessed numerous historical events throughout its history and hosts a wide range of cultural heritage elements that have survived to the present day. Halime Çavuş, a prominent war heroine, represents an important cultural heritage figure for the city of Kastamonu. This study aims to evaluate the grave of Halime Çavuş—currently memorial tomb—as a cultural landscape element within the framework of landscape architecture principles. In the study, the existing condition of the tomb was examined, and three alternative design proposals were developed based on structural and planting design principles. Participant evaluations were conducted via Google Forms with 118 students studying at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Kastamonu University. The findings revealed that students with design education tended to favor the first proposal, characterized by simplicity, strong spatial integrity, and a clear focus on the tomb, whereas students without design education more frequently selected the second proposal, which featured colorful and flowering groundcover plants. The results indicate that although some descriptive differences were observed between participants with and without design education, these differences did not reach statistical significance. Furthermore, the existing tomb was found to be inadequate in terms of landscape design, highlighting the importance of the value-based approach recommended by UNESCO for cultural landscapes. In this context, the study offers a limited but meaningful methodological perspective for the conservation of cultural heritage and for reconsidering tomb environments in line with contemporary landscape design principles. This study contributes to landscape architecture and cultural landscape research by proposing a user-based and design-oriented evaluation framework for small-scale commemorative spaces, integrating site analysis, alternative design development, and perception-based assessment within a cultural landscape perspective.
