Park Orman was opened to service in
Diyarbakır in 2007. As of its current residen-
tial area, it is a field presented to the usage
of the population with 200 thousand ones ap-
proximately.
Sümer Park is a field which involves educa-
tion, health, rehabilitation services, service
centers performing sport and cultural activi-
ties and gives service to the population with
206 thousand ones approximately.
The study tries to respond to the research
questions regarding testing criteria for these
fields to be city parks and analyze users’ sat-
isfaction.
Criteria were dealt in universal dimensions.
Based on these dimensions, the determina-
tion of users’ satisfaction was measured with
the assumptions that satisfaction perception
could change in the users in accordance with
availability, comfort, variety of social activity
and image perceptions. With this aim, a ques-
tionnaire of 41 questions was applied among
the users. The questionnaire was carried out
at 09.00-12.00, 14.00-16.00 and 19.00-21.00
between October 5-18, 2015. The target for
using different time intervals was to deter-
mine different user groups and their satisfac-
tion. In the questionnaire, the socio-demo-
graphical characteristics of the population
using park fields were researched at first and
then a general satisfaction evaluation for the
assumptions was done.
Parks Involved in Work Fields
Sümer Park, the greatest one of green areas
in the city, was designed as a park field of
80.000 m
2
in total (Table 1). At this park,
there are four different user groups including
“Females, Children, Young People and Dis-
abled Ones”. Improving life quality, solving
problems and participating in social life are
intended.
Within the park, there are cafes, training,
health-rehabilitation services, service centers
undertaking sport and cultural activities as
well as multi-purpose halls, cinemas, courses

METHOD
Within the scope of the research, two separate
city parks located in the province Diyarbakır,
Sümer Park and Park Orman were evaluated
based on universal quality criteria and sub-
criteria.
Among the ones using both parks, the users’
questionnaires are regarded as significant
data resources to bridge over planning, de-
signing and managing processes of the city
parks since there are serious differences in
terms of socio-economic structures (Oğuz,
2000).
