Özet:
Metro stations are public transport stops with functional parts of the transport system. Moreover, these stations and their surroundings are public spaces where people as a group or individually come together for different purposes and use these spaces for resting, spending time, and entertainment. In addition to the functionality of the station structures, their spatial design integrated with its immediate environment and oriented to people needs are significant points to be considered. The metro station surrounding is a transit point for the transportation needs of many people during the day. This study deals within this area in terms of being used as a public space. The main purpose of this study is to determine the physical and social factors that affect perceptions of people and use of space in the public space in the example of metro station surroundings and to determine how this situation differs depending on the individual characteristics of the users such as age, gender, income, education, working status. The method followed in this context; Evka-3, Konak, Fahrettin Altay (İzmir) includes collecting data through the field observations of perceptions of people and physical characteristics in the public space around the metro station, and the factors affecting user perceptions and space use, through a survey with 300 people. There are many factors such as making you feel safe, aesthetic, attractive, comfortable, and visible among the physical and social factors affecting the use of the station surroundings. Land use and accessibility in the immediate vicinity of the station are other important factors that affect perceptions of people for the physical environment about the use of space. This study proposes urban design interferences to improve user perceptions of the metro station surrounding and increase the use of these areas.
