This study examines the impact of urban landmarks on pedestrian movements and orientations, and explores their relationship with perceptions of urban safety. The study area of Balat, Istanbul, was selected due to its abundance of urban landmarks as well as the presence of structures and spaces that create a negative perception of safety. Based on a review of literature on urban landmarks and spatial safety theories, complemented by f ield observations, a study involving 110 participants was conducted to analyse their route selections based on land marks and their sense of safety along these routes. The f indings revealed that streets with a high number of urban landmarks and those with higher attraction values play a significant role in shaping users’ orientation preferences. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between the presence of urban landmarks and the perception of spatial safety, indicating that areas with more prominent landmarks are perceived as safer by usersMesta z izrazitimi prostorskimi poudarki uporabnikom omogočajo učinkovito orientacijo in prijetnejšo izkušnjo ter jim dajejo večji občutek varnosti. Avtorja sta v članku proučevala vpliv prostorskih poudarkov na gibanje in orientacijo pešcev ter njihovo povezavo z zaznavanjem varnosti v mestu. Za raziskavo sta izbrala sosesko Balat v Istanbulu, ki ima veliko prostorskih poudarkov, hkrati pa so v njej objekti in prostori, ki vplivajo na negativno zaznavanje varnosti. Na podlagi pregleda literature s področij prostorskih poudarkov in varnosti v prostoru, ki sta ga dopolnila s terenskimi opazovanji, sta opravila raziskavo s 110 posamezniki, v kateri sta analizirala njihovo izbiro poti na podlagi prostorskih poudarkov in njihov občutek varnosti na teh poteh. Izsledki so pokazali, da imajo ulice z večjim številom prostorskih poudarkov in tiste z višjo stopnjo privlačnosti pomembno vlogo pri orientaciji v prostoru. Poleg tega je raziskava pokazala povezavo med prostorskimi poudarki in zaznavanjem varnosti v prostoru, ki nakazuje, da uporabniki ulice z več izrazitimi prostorskimi poudarki dojemajo kot varnejšeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUrbanistični inštitut Republike Slovenije
