Özet:

Today, in many countries, efforts are being made to further integrate physical and mental disabilities into the social life. It is very important for all individuals with different qualities in society to spend time together, to carry out an active or passive activity in a common place, sociologically and psychologically. The full and equal benefit of all fundamental rights of disabled persons is a must to be a modern society. Thus, while the concept of ‘universal design’ has gained importance in urban areas recently, it is not yet at the level where disabled people can feel perfectly peaceful with society. In this study, it was fundamentally focused on the outdoor space design approaches to be made for visual disabled people. In the plant arrangements to be made for visual disabilities, the emotions and sensations will be moved, the plants that show the smell characteristics can be used as a guide. However; plant designs containing strong contradictions and spectacular siluets can provide visual clues in finding direction for those with little vision. As a result, solutions should be introduced to them in the outdoor designs so that disabled individuals can benefit from the natural environment, feel like they belong to society and move themselves without receiving help, and the level of awareness of this issue should be increased on a social basis.
