Kentsel parklar, kentin çevresini iyileştirmek ve kullanıcının psikolojik ve fiziksel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için önemlidir. Açık alanlarda yapılan ve yürütülen etkinlikler yaşam kalitesini artıran kentsel çevre faktörlerindendir. Bununla birlikte, parklara erişim kolaylığı, parkların rahatlığı, güvenliği ve parklardaki olanaklar gibi faktörler, parklara ilişkin memnuniyet düzeylerini etkilemektedir. Eskişehir Millet Bahçesi, Eskişehir kentinde eğlence ve eğitim parkı olarak hizmet veren parklardan biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kent sakinlerinin kent parklarından memnuniyet düzeylerini, Eskişehir Millet Bahçesi örneğinde belirlemektir. Parktaki memnuniyet düzeyini ölçmek üzere kentsel alan kalite parametreleri ve bunların altında bir dizi gösterge kullanılmaktadır. Göstergeler üç ana başlığı kapsamaktadır: Farklı fiziksel aktivitelerin eğlence amaçlı kullanımı, güzellik, güvenlik ve erişim. Göstergelerin değerlendirilmesine yönelik olarak anket uygulanmış ve Önem-Performans Analizi (ÖPA) [Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA)] tekniği kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, tüm değerlendirme göstergelerinin IPA planının ilk çeyreğine girmesi için yüksek performans ve yüksek öneme sahip olduğunu ve böylece Millet Bahçesi'nde kullanıcı memnuniyetinin sağlandığını göstermektedir. Araştırma ile elde edilen sonuçların, yetkililere yeni parkların geliştirilmesi ve mevcut parkların iyileştirilmesi süreçlerinde önceliklerin belirlenmesi konusunda yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Evaluation of Satisfaction Level Regarding Urban Parks: The Case of Eskisehir Millet Bahcesi

Öz

Urban parks are important for improving the city's environment and meeting the psychological and physical needs of the users. Activities carried out in open areas are among the urban environmental factors that increase the quality of life. However, factors such as the ease of access to the parks, the convenience and security of the parks and the facilities in the parks influence parks satisfaction levels. Eskişehir Millet Bahçesi is one of the parks serving as an amusement and education park in the city of Eskişehir. The aim of this study is to determine the satisfaction levels of city residents from city parks in the case of Eskişehir Millet Bahçesi. Urban area quality parameters and a group of indicators are used to measure the level of satisfaction in the park. The indicators cover three main topics: comfort; use of different physical activities, aesthetics, safety and access. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate the indicators and the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique was used. The results indicate high performance and high importance, so that all evaluation indicators enter the first quarter of the IPA scheme, thus indicating the achievement of user satisfaction in Millet Bahçesi. It is thought that the results obtained from the research will guide the authorities in determining the priorities in the development of new parks and the improvement of existing parks.
