Modern şehirlerde kent parkları, sadece yeşil alanlardan daha fazlasını temsil ederek hem insan refahını hem de çevresel sürdürülebilirliği destekleyen hayati bir rol üstlenmiştir. Bu parklar, bireylere dingin ortamlar sunarak doğayla tekrar bağlantı kurmalarına ve böylece stresi azaltarak zihinsel sağlığı desteklemelerine olanak tanır. Ancak artan kentselleşme eğilimi ve halkın kamu parklarına olan talebi, bu alanların tasarım ve planlamasını daha zorlu hale getirir. Park tasarımını optimize etmek için kullanıcı profillerini ve kullanım desenlerini anlamak esastır. Ziyaretçi demografileri ile park kullanımı eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek, politika yapıcılar ve planlamacılar gelecekteki geliştirme kararlarını bilinçli bir şekilde alabilmektedirler.
Bu çalışma, Farklı sosyo-demografik özelliklere sahip kent parkı ziyaretçilerinin ve kullanım desenlerinin karmaşık dinamiklerine ışık tutan, Konya, Türkiye'deki kentsel park ziyaretçilerinin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile park kullanımı arasındaki karmaşık ilişkileri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Doğrusal Olmayan Kanonik Korelasyon Analizi (DOKKA) adlı güçlü bir istatistiksel aracı kullanarak, bu araştırma sosyo-demografik özellikler ile park kullanımı arasındaki doğrusal olmayan ilişkileri irdelemektedir. 444 katılımcıdan elde edilen anket verileri üzerinden yürütülen derinlemesine analiz, veri setinin içsel yapılarını ortaya çıkarmakta ve özellikler ile kullanım desenleri arasındaki ilişkilerin istatistiksel anlamlılığını titizlikle değerlendirmektedir.
Sonuçlar, meslek, gelir ve yaşın, bireysel düzeyde park kullanımını etkileyen sosyo-demografik özelliklerin belirleyici faktörleri olarak önemli bir etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bulgular, kent parkı planlaması ve yönetimi alanlarında önemli sonuçlar taşımaktadır. Araştırma, sosyo-demografik faktörler ile kullanım desenleri arasındaki nüanslı etkileşimi vurgulayarak, park ziyaretçilerinin çeşitli ihtiyaçlarına daha hedefli stratejiler sunmaktadır. Kent manzaraları evrildikçe, bu çalışma kentsel topluluklar için sürdürülebilir, adil ve keyifli park deneyimlerini destekleyen politika ve uygulamaların geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunacaktır.

Modern cities have seen urban parks evolve from mere green spaces into integral components supporting human well-being and environmental sustainability. These parks offer individuals serene settings to unwind and reconnect with nature, promoting mental health by alleviating stress. However, as urbanization increases and public park demand surges, designing and planning these spaces becomes more challenging. To optimize park design, understanding user profiles and utilization patterns is crucial. By examining how visitor demographics intertwine with park usage, policymakers and planners can make informed decisions for future development.
This study employs Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (NLCC), a robust statistical tool, to explore the intricate connections between socio-demographic attributes of urban park visitors and their usage patterns. Focused on Konya, Turkey, the research delves into the non-linear relationships between socio-demographic characteristics and park usage. Survey data from 444 participants forms the basis of the analysis, unveiling inherent dataset structures and assessing correlations between attributes and usage patterns.
Results highlight the substantial impact of occupation, income, and age as determinants of socio-demographic characteristics affecting park use at an individual level. These findings hold significant implications for urban park planning and management. The research underscores the nuanced interplay between socio-demographic factors and usage patterns, offering targeted strategies for diverse visitor needs. As urban landscapes evolve, this study contributes to refining policies and practices that cultivate sustainable, equitable, and enjoyable park experiences for urban communities.
