Özet:

 

The growing need for housing in parallel with population
growth has made the importance of open spaces more prominent in rapidly growing
cities. Among them, urban parks and management for open spaces are one of the
important parts of urban planning. Neighborhood parks are the most basic
element of municipal outdoor management systems in particular. The main
function of the neighborhood parks is to provide socio-cultural interaction
facilities that meet user needs, are such as accessibility, legibility, have
many functions together and enable the active and passive activities of users.
High legibility level, well-designed parks at the neighborhood level serve as a
social and activity center for the users, transforming into high-level, living
spaces. In this context, interest in the perception and experience of the
community, neighborhood parks has reached a very important point today. Today,
however, research continues to seek answers to the question of how people react
to and use parks in their living environment. One of the concepts that has
recently become the focal point in this regard is the concept of legibility. In
this context, this study aimed to reveal the legibility level of three parks
randomly selected from the neighborhood parks located in Ortahisar district of
Trabzon province and completed in 2017. In this direction, the legibility level
and the physical and characteristic features and activities of the neighborhood
parks were examined in this study, and their suitability and deficiencies for
landscape design and usage were determined. As a result of the research, it was
determined that the legibility level of the examined neighborhood parks is low
and the usage level of the parks is low, resulting in inanimate spaces and
suggestions for improvement of these parks are presented.
