Abstract
Some natural disasters affect human life deeply. The coronavirus, which emerged in China in 2019, was declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The virus, which also caused deaths, brought some restrictions to human life. In this process, problems such as not being able to perform the funeral ceremonies of the deceased as desired and the relatives of the deceased could not even go to the cemetery. Although cemeteries are seen as passive uses within urban open spaces, they are the largest part of the urban ecosystem and are religiously sacred and inviolable areas that can stay longer than other urban open spaces. In this study, the importance of urban cemeteries in the green texture and the effect of the pandemic that affected the world on the cemetery visitors were investigated. Üçler Cemetery was chosen as the study area. Visitors were asked questions about the design of Üçler Cemetery and visitor satisfaction before and after the pandemic. As a result of the research, it was revealed that there was no serious problem in terms of design, but the participants were worried about visiting the cemetery due to the virus.
