Öz: Bu çalışmada, Ankara’daki kent parklarının
kullanımı ve öznel iyi olma hali arasındaki ilişki
araştırılmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan 210 kent parkı
kullanıcısına sosyo-demografik ve kullandıkları park
ile ilgili özellikleri içeren anketin yanı sıra öznel iyi
oluşu ölçen iki anket gönüllülük ve gizlilik ilkeleri
çerçevesinde uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına
göre kent parklarının kullanımı ile öznel iyi oluş ara-
sında anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
Kent parklarını kullanan katılımcılar park kullanmaya
başladıkları ana göre fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal açı-
dan daha olumlu yaşantılar rapor etmiştir. Bulgular
ışığında, park kullanan birey sayısının arttırılmasının
yanı sıra kent parklarının tasarım ve planlanmasında
bireylerin psiko-sosyal ihtiyaçlarının dikkate alınması
önerilmektedir.
