    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUAL QUALITY AND LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS IN URBAN PARKS
    (SCIBULCOM LTD, 2018) Gungor, Sertac; Polat, Ahmet Tugrul
    The people, longing for a natural environment, have been living since the phenomena of urban and urbanisation came to existence. Urban dwellers, who make a daily effort to fulfill their needs, can not meet up with nature. They have no other choice but to adjust with the urban landscape areas provided to them as a part of the social service by the politicians, administrators, planners, and designers. This study aims at improving the quality of the service, provided to the people. The results show that the broad landscape characteristics like naturalness, diversity, vividness, maintenance and safety along with landscape design characteristics like water surface ratio, plant material-water element balance, colour diversity, and the number of accessory elements play a positive role in determining the visual quality of the parks. However, hard ground ratio affects the visual quality negatively.
