(Taki Can METİN, 2025) Ast, Mahmut Can; Erken, Tutku Ak; Kelkit, Abdullah
People may lose their mental and physical abilities partially or completely due to congenital conditions, diseases, or accidents. In order to ensure that the living conditions of affected individuals with disabilities are suitable, the cities, which serve as our living spaces, must be arranged according to the necessary standards. These arrangements should enable individuals with disabilities to participate in social life. Open green spaces, which are among the areas with high social activity in cities, must be safe and easily accessible for individuals with disabilities. To ensure accessibility, designs should consider all individuals and create spaces based on universal design principles. This study focuses on the accessibility of Kepez Public Cafe and its outdoor surroundings located in Kepez, Çanakkale. Literature review and observational analysis showed that some parts of the study site did not comply with regulations and guidelines. Results also showed that the area is not fully accessible to individuals with disabilities, lacks guidance and warning systems, and has safety issues in certain areas. Designs of landscapes should meet the needs of all individuals constituting the urban population
