Increasing urbanization is reducing human interaction with the natural environment, creating negative consequences for both humans and nature. Since the majority of the human population lives in cities today, the nature experience mostly includes the urban nature experience. In this context, urban green spaces are among the main areas that allow people to interact with nature in their daily lives. Therefore, it is important to adopt design approaches that encourage people's nature experiences in the design of these areas. Biophilic design, which focuses on enhancing people's interactions with nature in the built environment, offers an opportunity in this context. This study focuses on understanding the user's experience of nature through biophilic design in the context of three neighborhood parks located in the Bostanlı neighborhood of Karşıyaka district of İzmir province. In this study, nature experience is considered at two levels: the environmental level and the individual level. The spatial characteristics and nature experience potentials of three selected neighborhood parks were examined at the environmental level. To explore the individual level of nature experience, a nature experience workshop was conducted with seven participants residing in the Bostanlı neighborhood. For both levels, the experience-based framework of biophilic design was used as a theoretical framework. As a result of the analyses, it has been understood that the user's experience of nature in the use of urban green spaces in densely urbanized areas is affected by spatial characteristics as well as individual factors. Furthermore, the study findings indicate that the experience-based framework of biophilic design provides a useful framework for comprehending how users interact with nature in urban green spaces.
