@article{2019,title={A DESIGN APPROACH OF URBAN FURNITURE IN A HISTORICAL PLACE: SAFRANBOLU},abstractNode={The city is the whole of the natural and artificial environment. One of the most important elements of the artificial environment is the urban furniture. Urban furniture is the most important element in planning a city, creating urban living spaces and highlighting urban identity. Urban furniture is considered as elements that transform urban spaces into livable spaces and add comfort and aesthetics. In addition, urban furniture increases the quality of urban life by responding to the daily life needs of people in the city. When urban furniture is designed by examining the historical structure, social, cultural, economic and demographic values of the city, it emphasizes the identity of the city. Urban furniture, when placed in the city unplanned and irregular creates visual pollution, as well as providing a positive effect in terms of harmony and comfort when combined with the environment. In addition, when urban furniture is not designed correctly, it cannot contribute sufficiently to the identity of the city and develop the image of the city. For this reason, in order to eliminate this deficiency in Safranbolu, which is a World Heritage City, it was necessary to create original designs that would create the integrity of design language and strengthen the identity of the city. Although there is no similar study on this issue, it has been determined that there is a significant deficit in this area. Within the scope of this study, the present situation of the museum city Safranbolu was analyzed and the missing urban furniture was found in the historical environment and original design proposals were introduced to highlight the identity of the city.},author={Esra USLU-Ayşen Esra BÖLÜKBAŞI ERTÜRK},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies-Social Sciences}}
