| description | Cities change and are transformed over time due to economic, social and political decisions, and this process can have either a positive or a negative effect on the visual aesthetic quality of the streets and avenues. The preservation and improvement of the visual aesthetic qualities of the streets and avenues ensures the sustainability of the visual character of the city, improves the quality of life, and also encourages collective identity, a sense of belonging, and strong urban images. It is suggested that the factors affecting visual aesthetic quality should be determined in order to improve the visual aesthetic quality of streets and avenues. This study assesses the effects of the change and transformation processes occurring in Ankara - Ulus and Kızılay city centers, as well as the effects on their immediate surroundings in terms of the visual aesthetic quality of streets and avenues. Furthermore, the factors affecting the visual aesthetic quality of streets and avenues are questioned through the use of a model in which both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used comparatively with historical and current street images. The results of the study show that by comparing street images from different periods, important clues can be obtained in regard to the factors affecting the visual aesthetic quality of urban spaces. |
