Özet:

Thro history, all the gardens appear to us as spaces formed by the reflection of experienced cultures into physical spaces, transmitted by humans to future generations. National Gardens are areas that recognize public recreational opportunities, allowing people to be in-house with nature, preserving historical, natural and cultural values, reflecting the socio-cultural structure of society, developing the vision of the country and making significant contributions. These fields, which have a binding character between the past and the future, provide important information about societies for the study of the processes of change and development of cultures. During the Ottoman era, the transition of westernization and traditional society to modern society, the green spaces have varied in a meaningful, formal and functional perspective. After the Tanzimat and Islahat fermans, the legal principles made together with the new regulations, the concept of the nation and the nation was combined and only the concept of the nation was used. One of the topics in this area was the National Gardens. National gardens are a concept that symbolizes integrity. Since the history to the present day, the people’s garden has been understood and practiced. In this study, the design criteria that should be in the national garden, starting from the concept and history of the national garden, were discussed, and the design and application stages of the Kahramanmaraş National Garden of July 15 were studied.
