Özet:

Parks are places where the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and cultural development of the child is provided. Parks should be designed by paying attention to ergonomic regulations for children with different characteristics. This study was carried out to determine whether the barrier-free playgrounds developed for disabled children are designed according to ergonomics criteria. In this direction, Martyr Specialist Corporal Murat Azizo Park was evaluated and analyzed from an ergonomic point of view. The criteria for ergonomic arrangements that should be in barrier-free parks are discussed under the titles of playgrounds, floor elements, sitting elements and rest pockets, signs and signs, garbage bins, and lighting. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the park was designed with only orthopedically disabled children in mind, ergonomic standards were not taken into consideration in the design, and it was not suitable for visually, hearing and mentally disabled children. Also, it has been determined that most of the game tools do not support independent use for orthopedically disabled children. In addition, it has been observed that the playgrounds in the park do not have the diversity to meet the developmental needs of children. It has been determined that there is no standard for disabled parks in general, the park in particular is not designed according to ergonomic criteria and maintenance works are not carried out at regular intervals. In the study, it was concluded that ergonomic arrangements made considering all types of obstacles in parks will significantly increase safety, quality, efficiency and comfort conditions.
