In this study, it was aimed to determine the contributions of physical developments in school gardens
to students by designing landscape implementations for a modelled school. Mecidiye Primary and Secondary
School, which are located in one of the central districts-Yakutiye, was chosen as the modelling school. The study is
based on landscape implementation design process, partial landscape implementations and the data obtained from
questionnaire results before and after the implementation. 212 students were attended to the questionnaire before
the implementation started; and 174 students attended the questionnaire after the implementation ended. The data
were analysed using descriptive statistics of SPSS 18 program and signed ranked test. According to comparative
analysis of the results of questionnaires which was done by students before and after the implementation to find out
contributions to students physical recruitment at schoolyard, it has been found out that more qualitative physical
environment contributes to students well-being in several ways and this contribution is statistically significant
(for 22 questions, the result of Wilcoxon signed rank test is z= -3.52, p<.05). According to questionnaire results,
landscape implementations were found out to contribute to the rate of students’ satisfaction at %33.1, the rate of
acquiring environmental consciousness at %20.1, the rate of increase at school success at %39.2, the rate of their
use for educational purposes at %8.7, and the rate of increase in accidents and crash number among students during
breaks at %28.7.
