Human-environment interaction needs to be managed properly. It is the duty of the Science of Architecture to manage this process. We can see the lost spaces in cities as the results of this process not being managed properly or as the defects of the spaces produced. The reuse or evaluation of lost spaces so that they do not turn into 'vanishing spaces' is again the task of the Science of Architecture. Although lots of professional disciplines have emerged in line with human needs, Landscape Architecture does not only try to meet human needs, but also produces works with the principle of respecting the right to live and living spaces of other living things. From this point of view, it is among the duties of Landscape Architects to provide a living space for stray animals that live in the urban space. The fact that human needs are endless and constantly changing causes new concepts to emerge every day. Each concept creates a basis for the development of new concepts. Tactical Urbanism is a new concept that has emerged in recent years, is still in the process of development, and is urban user centered. Tactical Urbanization is not considered as a planning method but is seen as an important part of planning. In the light of these data, within the scope of the study, the housing and feeding problems of stray animals in the cities were examined within the framework of tactical urbanization and suggestions were presented. How the lost spaces in cities can be reused and transforming these spaces into living spaces for stray animals is the theme of the study. The study was carried out in Mimar Sinan neighbourhood of Atakum district of Samsun city. First of all the feeding and care activities of the residents of Mimar Sinan neighbourhood for stray animals were revealed through observation. Afterwards, the attitudes of the residents of the neighborhood towards street animals were determined with the 5-point Likert scale and the studies on street animals were compared with the data obtained through observation. It was concluded that there should be places where regular feeding and care work can be done in the city for stray animals, and suggestions were made about how these places could be.
