Physical and social barriers for disabled urban park users: case study from Kastamonu, Turkey
Öz: More than a billion people in the world suffer from some kind of disability, which can affect quality of life.Some people experience physical or social disadvantages depending on the nature of their disabilities. Thesocial disadvantages stem from civic policies that do not take into consideration the needs of disabled people,standards that are not fulfilled and people’s prejudices. In this study, barriers that disabled people experiencein physical and social environments are examined in terms of open areas and greenspaces. To thisend, popular parks in Kastamonu from Turkey were chosen as the study area. In the scope of the study, aquestionnaire was given to 124 disabled persons and the relatives of disabled persons and 382 individualswho currently do not have any disabilities. Multivariate linear regression was used in order to evaluate thequestionnaire data. The study results indicate that disabled individuals encounter physical and social barriers,and they also confirm that non-disabled people often complain about the same problems as disabled peoplewith regard to the management and running of public parks. Moreover, the study reveals that the actions ofpublic law corporations toward disabled people are not sufficient and public information and awareness-raisingactivities also fall short.

Engelli kent parkı kullanıcılarının fiziksel ve sosyal sorunları: Kastamonu kenti örneği
Öz: Dünyada bir milyardan fazla insan herhangi bir tür engellilik yaşamakta, bu durum ise yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Engel durumuna bağlı olarak kişiler fiziksel ya da sosyal dezavantajlar yaşamaktadır. Bu durum çoğunlukla uygulanan politikaların engelli insanların ihtiyaçlarını göz önünde bulundurmamasından, standartların yerine getirilmemesinden ve insanların önyargılarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada engelli kişilerin fiziksel ve sosyal çevrede yaşadıkları dezavantajlar açık ve yeşil alanlar özelinde irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bunun için Türkiye’de Kastamonu ilinde bulunan ve en fazla kullanılan parklar çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında 124 engelli ve engelli yakınına, 382 adet şu anda engeli bulunmayan bireye anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Anket verilerinin değerlendirilmesi için multivariate linear regression gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları engelli bireylerin parkları kullanımında fiziksel ve sosyal engellerle karşılaştığını gösterirken, şu an engelsiz olan bireylerinde kent parklarını kullanımında engelli bireylerle aynı sorunlardan şikayetçi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yapılan çalışma kamu tüzel kişiliklerinin engellilere yönelik yaptığı çalışmaların yeterli olmadığını gösterirken, bilgilendirme ve bilinçlendirme konusunda da eksiklikler olduğunu göstermiştir.
