Özet

The aim of the present study, which was carried out in three different cities of Turkey (Erzurum, Artvin, Tokat), is to determine satisfaction degree of urban people with the environment they live and to bring about their demands and biases for their living environs. The study includes totally 300 questionnaires conducted over subjects from each city. As the consequence of the study it was found that people in Erzurum and Tokat are satisfied with the urban environment they live (59.0 % and 64.0% respectively) whereas those in Artvin are not (69%). Among the living area types people prefer, if they are given adequate time and money, are coastal areas in the first row (M: 6.64), which are followed by the areas near water surfaces, lakes and river banks.
