Table 8. Evaluation of General Satisfaction
At the third stage, by using the questionnaires
from Sümer Park and Park Orman chosen
as sample fields, in order to check assump-
tions we determined before and see whether
there were certain relations between activity
capability, availability, legibility, comfort,
image, security, maintenance, socialization
and feeling of tenure concepts based on gen-
eral satisfaction, the chi-square significance
test was used. Considering the general sat-
isfaction and the quality criteria of the users
participated in the questionnaire, the results
from the chi-square analyses were given at
Table 10. In accordance with the findings of
the chi-square test used for checking our as-
sumptions; we can think that comfort, image
and socialization criteria are effective, impor-
tant criteria for users to regard parks as quali-
fied. Variety, security and maintenance from
the sub-criteria were rejected at both parks.
According to this result, we can say that vari-
ety, security and maintenance criteria do not
affect their general satisfaction, their percep-
tions about parks as qualified ones.
