Man-environment relations- more specifically the aesthetic response of people to certain qualitiesof their environment- is a significant research area for urban design, as such studies provide for asolid ground for urban design criteria. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptioncriteria that have greater impact for satisfactory streets. For this, a web-based 'virtual tour' wasused to elicit response to scenes of three urban streets in downtown Ankara, Turkey; each oneexhibiting a range of different characteristics.
