Son yıllarda Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de çevreyi oluşturan elemanların tanımlanmasında ve bu tanımlamada yer alan unsurların iyileştirilmesinde “görsel algı” kavramı, planlama ve tasarım çalışmalarında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu nedenle, “görsel algı” yönünden araştırılacak bir alanın sunduğu imkânların neler olduğunun saptanması ve o alandaki peyzajı oluşturan elemanların ve bileşenlerin sahip oldukları potansiyellerin tespit edilmesi oldukça önemlidir.

In recent years, the concept of “visual perception” has played an important role in the planning and designing studies that define the elements forming the environment in the world and Turkey and improve the elements included in this definition. Therefore, it is essential to determine what kind of opportunities an area to be investigated in terms of “visual perception” are provided and what sort of potentials the components and elements that constitute the landscape in that area have.It was aimed to emphasize how grass areas are important for the landscape design within the scope of the study which is performed depending on the criteria for visual quality evaluation. In this regard, photographs were taken from different points within Düzce University Campus which was selected as a sample area. The photographs obtained were evaluated by an expert group. It was benefitted from the criteria obtained from various literature studies and from spatial characteristics according to the suitability of the sample area in the evaluation, developing the process of modeling a visual criterion. For this purpose, the main material of the research was composed of 15 photographs selected from various points in Düzce University Konuralp Campus. Obtained from the results of a survey that was conducted to 30 of academic staff who had completed their master’s degree at Faculty of Forest, Düzce University, data were analyzed using with SPSS 20 program. Experts were asked to evaluate the photographs considering visual landscape indicators. As a result, an emphasis has been placed on the grass areas in terms of “visual quality” and “visual perception” in accordance with the determined criteria, and various suggestions have been made about this topic.
