dc.description.abstractKonya developed as a city with a single centre in historical period, the mound (hoyijk) known as Alaeddin's Hill. This is still the central feature of the urban settlement of Konya. The tomb of the great humanist, poet and philosopher, Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumii, is also here. The most prestigious section of Konya during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods was the Konya Torbeonu, the space in front of his tomb. The historical city centre maintains its liveliness in the area between Alaeddin's Hill and the tomb of Mevlana. This historical city centre is the most accessible area in the city and functions fully as such while bearing its historical identity. The transformation of Konya from single -centred city to multi -centred city resulted in considerable changes in the city's silhouette. The Konya Turbeonu Square was redesigned and presented for use. While defining the effect of outdoor spaces on human life, they are evaluated as places that meet basic physical, social and psychological requirements. Since the planning process of the Konya Turbeonu Square was not participative, it has remained a focal point of intense discussions and debates about its meeting users' needs have arisen. This article studies user satisfaction with the design of the Konya Turbeonu Square and investigates the effects of changes on users. The study survey, asked for demographical information about the users, the sensorial effects of the outdoor space, the effects of its landscape and general satisfaction. The questionnaire was administered to 300 people, including 100 architects who are educated in designing, shopkeepers who are interaction with this area everyday and laypersons. Evaluating the questionnaire data revealed the physical landscape quality and the behavioural and functional qualities of the users along with the visual qualities of the historical urban square's former/older condition. This study aims to show how participative planning can improve future projects.en_US
