Abstract:

 Peoples need to connect with nature is increasing day by day with the increasing population. Urban parks are the most commonly used recreational areas to satisfy these needs. It is very important that these areas are designed according to the therapeutic benefit to the users, usability and users needs. With the help of this study, the old and the new design of Cevizli Park, which is located in the center of Kastamonu and is frequently used, were compared in terms of usege and therapeutic effect. What are the characteristic properties of the park in the past and in the present, to what extent it provides therapy to the users, how often it is used, for what reasons it is not used so often, what activities take place in this area and how suitable the areas are for the activities, how the mood of the users changes after performing these activities and how they contribute to a positive mood were investigated with the help of this study. The therapeutic evaluation of the park was done separately by both the expert and the user group, and the results of the study showed that the evaluation results of the two groups were similar to each other. As a result of this evaluation, it was found that the new design of Cevizli Park is more successful than the old design in terms of therapeutic effect and usege, but both designs are insufficient.

 Artan nüfus ile beraber insanların doğayla etkileşimde bulunma ihtiyaçları giderek atmaktadır. Kent parkları bu ihtiyaçları gidermek için en çok kullanılan rekreasyon alanlarıdır. Bu alanların kullanıcıların ihtiyacına göre düzenlenmesi, kullanılabilirliği ve kullanıcıya terapik fayda sağlaması ve çok önemlidir. Bu çalışma yardımıyla Kastamonu merkezde bulunan ve sıklıkla kullanılan Cevizli Parkın eski ve yeni tasarımlarının kullanım ve terapi sağlayıcı etkileri açıdan karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır. Parkın geçmiş ve günümüzde hangi özelliklere sahip olduğu, ne oranda kullanıcılara terapi sağladığı, ne kadar sık kullanıldığı, sık kullanılmama sebepleri, bu alanda hangi etkinliklerin gerçekleştirildiği ve alanların etkinliklere uygunluğu, bu etkinlikleri gerçekleştirdikten sonra ruh hallerinde meydana gelen değişimler ve pozitif ruh haline sahip olmalarına yardımcı olan alan özellikleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Parkın terapik açıdan değerlendirilmesi hem uzman hem de kullanıcı grubu tarafından ayrı ayrı yapılmış ve iki grubun da değerlendirme sonuçlarının birbirine benzerlik gösterdiği çalışma sonuçları ile ortaya konulmuştur. Bu değerlendirme sonucunda Cevizli parkın yeni tasarımının eskiye oranla terapi sağlayıcı etki ve kullanım açısından daha başarılı olduğu ancak iki tasarımın da yetersiz olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
