Özet

This study is based on an analysis of how urban furniture affect user perception and the sustainability of everyday life in urban areas. The research question of the study is how the different nature of the street affects user performance in the use and design of urban furniture. It is hypothesized that furniture in urban space has a stimulating effect on people, and street furniture influences user perception and behaviour positively. Within the scope of the study, space perception and behavior were investigated through urban furniture, survey and observation were made in the context of the case study carried out on Bağdat Street. As the study method, the “Semantic Differentiation Scale” with open-ended questions was used in the prepared survey which aims to measure the effect of furniture on user perception in the urban space, Bağdat Avunue in Istanbul. In addition, facades or the furniture limiting the street are considered as streetscapes, as the street space is considered within the scope of the study. In the method of the research, the continuity of daily life is researched through surveys conducted by urban design professionals who have experienced the street, since public space and everyday life are up-to-date and changing subjects. As a result of the study, it was found that the street was evaluated holistically; It has been seen that streetscape elements are also important as well as urban furniture.
