User satisfaction with aesthetics of urban park seating
Urban parks are considered among the most important areas of public space for re-laxation and recreation. They are gaining ever more importance in our cities with their continuous physical, social and cultural development. They provide for the improve-ment of environmental conditions in the city, they also help improve the social and economic life of the people. This in addition to their great contribution to the visual beauty and aesthetic tranquillity of the urban environment. With these characteristics, urban parks preserve their distinguished position in the urban structure of cities. There is always a need to pay attention to their planning and design including park furniture and especially seating. Furniture of urban parks is considered to be a crea-tive means of establishing a sense of space and identity. It is also necessary for en-hancing the aesthetics experience of these spaces and creating pleasure and satisfac-tion. Seating in public parks is one of their main furniture elements. It enhances park functionality and liveability as an element for rest and socialising, but also is consid-ered for its expressive visual beauty and aesthetics components that add to the visual pleasure and aesthetics satisfaction of the users. Park seating design is a key factor for supporting users' activities, social interaction and cultural integration. This can be achieved through different strategies and the application of different design principles and aesthetical measures like placement, order, and pattern. This research investi-gates the different demographic and perception factors affect the overall user satisfac-tion of seating aesthetics in Konyaalti Beach Park, Antalya, Turkey. It was found that education is the most important among the demographic factors affecting user satis-faction with park seating while gender and age are not influential. This highlights the need to provide more education on park aesthetics in general and on park seating aesthetics in particular. This also includes raising public awareness about the im-portance of park aesthetics and park seating aesthetics and their role in improving the quality of our cities.
