The human being, who makes sense of the environment he lives in and expresses it in a factual and conceptual dimension, uses many methods while performing this meaning production. Semiology, which tries to read the semantic basis of the environment, which includes living and non-living beings as a whole and creates a dense network of relations, is one of these methods. The changing and developing structure of people's creations and uses on nature affects both the environment and the universe of meaning of designers and users. Semiology, which makes it possible to read natural and cultural structures as a text through signs, constitutes an important perspective for landscape architecture, which is one of the basic disciplines working on these structures. In this context, the study aims to produce perspectives on the use of semiotics in landscape planning and design. Thus, it will contribute to the development of a sustainable, creative and ecological attitude in both existing spaces and new space/area creations. In the study, first of all, the theoretical foundations of semiotics were emphasized, different interpretations of semiotics were discussed, and then an opinion was developed on how these perspectives could be used in landscape planning and design.
