Abstract

With 75 foundation and 129 state universities, by the academic year of 2018-2019, there were approximately 8 million (7,740,502) university students in Turkey in the associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral categories. Considering that 0.6% approximately of these students (47,751) are disabled students, it is important to plan university campuses in line with criteria for disabled students. This study analyzed the existing landscape facilities and equipment status of the campus of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University by focusing on disabled student perceptions. For this purpose, firstly, the landscape principles, elements and components of the campus area were assessed based on examination and observation supported by photography imagery. Additionally, the study included a survey carried out face to face with 40 disabled students. The perceptions of the students regarding campus planning and design were taken as a basis in the survey. The data obtained from the survey were subjected to a regression analysis in the SPSS 15.0 statistical software. With the analysis, by defining the satisfaction rates of the disabled students as the “dependent variable” and the survey criteria representing landscape equipment and facilities as the “independent variable,” the statistical relationships between them were obtained. Field studies and statistical analysis results in the study confirm each other. According to the analysis, the satisfaction of students with disabilities according to campus parameters was found to be significant at P
