Universities are structures that can play an important role in shaping the urban identity. Kastamonu University Kuzeykent Campus, which is established on a 215.5 ha area, constitutes a small model of the urban ecosystem with its natural-cultural components. With this structure, it has the potential to contribute to important values such as supporting urban identity, increasing biological diversity, setting an example with its application and R&D activities, and acting as a bridge between stakeholders in the public and private sectors. The campus, whose development process continues, also has a structure where suggestions to be put forward with the perception of ecological planning can be implemented. Kastamonu University Campus, which was chosen as a sample area considering all these features, was handled within the framework of ecological planning approach and evaluated with a holistic perception within the framework of rainwater management criteria. In order to reveal the rainwater management potential of the research area, first of all, the topographic structure, which depends on the slope, aspect and elevation criteria, was evaluated with the help of the Analytic Hierarchy Method (AHP), and then the areas with the highest potential in terms of water management were determined by the basin analysis. The identified areas were evaluated together with the structuring conditions of the campus and were critical. The benefits of a holistic rainwater management potential for the urban ecosystem were discussed and suggestions were made.
