    The issues of urban and urbanization emerged after the industrial revolution. Thus, cities that have increased rapidly in population have become points of attraction for people. Over the past century, the world population has begun to gather quickly in urban areas. Cities are transforming into unhealthy living environments with distorted ecological balance, lost green areas and aesthetic qualities. The value of accessible green spaces in urban areas is increasing to the unprecedented levels. The green space system seen as a necessity in the cities have provided the emergence of the "urban landscape" phenomenon. The issue of urban landscape is now a very serious concept. The landscape change is moving along with the level of civilization. Primarily, guidance service should be offered for more efficient, comfortable and protective areas. An interdisciplinary approach is needed in the creation of urban spaces. In this study, the term of urban landscape was explained and the researches about the contributions of urban landscape to urban life were examined and suggestions were made about the subject.

    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.

    Relationships between the visual preferences of urban recreation area users and various landscape design elements
    (ELSEVIER GMBH, 2015) Polat, Ahmet Tugrul; Akay, Ahmet
    The locations and the relationships between locations that have emerged with urbanization and the growth of cities have placed considerable pressures on city dwellers. In recent times, city dwellers have been seeking comfort both inside and outside their homes. The search for comfort outside of homes, in particular, has increasingly focused on satisfying both the physical and psychological needs of city dwellers. To satisfy such demands, efforts should be made to create locations with aesthetic and functional qualities. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the relationships between the visual quality of urban recreational areas and the structural and vegetation landscape elements of these areas with regards to the preferences of visitors and users. One-on-one interviews using photo-questionnaires were conducted in the study areas with 409 individuals. Based on our findings, it was observed that the water surface area, the widths of pedestrian walkways, the function of recreational areas, plant composition, plant color composition, and plant species diversity can positively affect the visual quality of a landscape area. Furthermore, it was determined that a lack of bush-type plants within the plant composition can have a negative effect on visual quality. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
