Abstract

Urban open spaces, where social and cultural needs are met, offer many opportunities for individuals' daily lives. At the same time, urban open spaces are an important component in the formation of urban identity. Urban open spaces have an impact on the city's image and help in the recognition of the city. Urban furniture within urban open spaces, defined as parks, squares, streets, etc., is designed to meet users' needs for rest, entertainment, transportation, and so on. Urban furniture integrates with the spaces they are located in and becomes a part of the city. Urban furniture also emphasizes the urban identity. Starting from the relationship between urban furniture and urban identity, an attempt has been made to determine the relationship between urban furniture in Sazova, Hamamyolu Urban Desk, and Kent Park and urban identity. In this direction, firstly, the elements that affect the urban identity of Eskişehir are identified, and then the relationship between urban furniture in the designated areas and urban identity is evaluated.
