Author(s): Çiğdem SAKICI

While designing hospital gardens, aesthetic concerns should be put into the second plan, and design approaches should be included in line with the requests and needs of the users, unlike other outdoor design. The suitability of the garden of the new State Hospital in Kastamonu with the help of this study has been revealed. In the evaluation, 52 criteria, 14 sub-headings and 3 main headings were taken separately point average for each feature. For the evaluation of the garden, a survey study was conducted with 100 field users consisting of patients, visitor and staff and user satisfaction was determined. 3-point Likert scale was used in the evaluation of the questions. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine whether there was a difference in scores between the user groups, and Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the dissimilarity in the characteristics of the difference. Based on the results of the questionnaire and the design criteria of the Open Area Therapy Unit, the problems of the hospital garden were presented and solutions were offered to these problems, and a special stain design was proposed to convert the hospital garden into an open space therapy unit.
