Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kamusal rekreasyon alanlarını kullanan bireylerin memnuniyet düzeylerini ve bu alanlardan beklentilerini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Araştırmaya yaşları 18 ile 61 arasında değişen toplam 350 kişi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan demografik bilgi formu ve Çoban (2002) tarafından geliştirilen belediyelerin rekreasyon hizmetlerinden memnuniyet ölçeği uygulanarak elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS programında analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Analiz sonucunda; genel olarak katılımcılar, erkek (%57,7), yaş aralığının 35-50 (%36,3) arasında yoğunlaştığı, katılımcıların genel olarak üniversite eğitimi aldığı (%58,9), çoğunluğun (%54,3) düzenli spor yapmadığı ve Belediyeler yeterli değil. Bulamayanların çoğunlukta (%57,1) olduğu belirlendi. Katılımcıların memnuniyet ölçeği ortalama puanının 3,5±0,6 olduğu belirlendi. Katılımcıların cinsiyeti, yaş aralığı ve çalışma yılı dikkate alındığında bu puanda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmazken, eğitim düzeyi ve hizmet bulma düzeyleri yeterli olduğunda anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bu bulgulara dayanarak; Katılımcıların belediyelerin sağladığı rekreasyon alanlarını yeterli bulmadıkları belirlendi. Buna göre rekreasyon alanlarının amaca uygun olarak düzenlenmesi ve sayısının arttırılmasıyla bu durumun değişebileceği söylenebilir.
