The effects of the Gestalt Theory in the visual perception of users, Diyarbakir three different bulvar evaluation

Building facades are a surface that building can interact within the city. The Facades of architectural spaces which composed the city surface are key elements in term of the meaning and perception of the building with its contaminant's knowledges. This situation causes the term "visual perception" which means the estimation and evaluation of the building facades in term of the visual content. The main problem of this study is how effect the "facades" of buildings which are important part of the building on the users in term of the visual perception. The aim of the study is that to estimate the user visual perception with the help of the gestalt theory on residential building facades in Diyarbakır, Diclekent, Mahabad and Şanlıurfa boulevards where the potential of the development is quite higher than other parts of the city. Because of them, the terms perception, visual perception, gestalt theory in visual perception and counterparts of the gestalt theory are conceptual framework of the study. In term of the scope of the study first a literature review has been done for building the conceptual basement of the study. In literature review part the basic parameters have been defined based on the perception, visual perception and basic principles of the gestalt theory. The data about the study area and building facades on this area has been obtained from the public sources and with this data some of the observations, surveys and visual documentations has been done for build a base for the empirical study. In site work a questionnaire has been done with photos of buildings. Digitalization of the data of the questionaries' has helped to analyze the data with statistical methods and based on the statistical analysis the result section has been done and results has been discussed with the literature and conclusions has been done based on this discussions. The SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software was used in term of the statistical analyzes. The façades of buildings in boulevards has been estimated based on the results of the statistical analyses. Moreover in conclusion there are some estimation about user preferences on building facades which of the properties of the buildings facades effects user preferences and how this properties can be used by designers has been discussed.
