Abstract:

Urban spaces are the places where the user performs their recreational activities during the day. Urban parks, which are among these places, affect individuals physically and psychologically with their open green areas and equipment elements. But not every user has the same qualifications. Disadvantaged users should also be considered in the design of urban parks, which are of great importance in the city. Within the scope of this study, design examples for everyone in urban outdoor spaces were examined and the situation of the Public Garden, one of the urban parks in Çanakkale, was determined and its deficiencies were determined. As a result of the study, the functional use of urban outdoor spaces by all users was examined in line with the 7 principles put forward by the Universal Design Center, and it was thought that it would shed light on the deficiencies identified in the literature. In this context, design suggestions have been developed for the Çanakkale Public Garden for everyone.
