It is necessary to assess the environment in terms of the development of young people; Young people need to spend time in appropriate places to speed up the development process and increase the influence of the youth process on personality development. When assessed from the perspective of environmental design, university campuses are one of the most important places where young people's friendship relations intensify and social roles begin to develop as well as to acquire skills related to their professions. In this study, open spaces of Karadeniz Technical University Kanuni Campus were first classified in terms of the characteristics (mobility, naturalness, openness) that should be possessed by the youth places determined in the literature and then the use of youth was observed in these places. 3 of them were high in terms of the determined characteristics and 3 were low. A total of 6 campus locations were observed and how young people used the spaces. As a result, it was found that spaces with higher levels of characteristics were more successful, more used by younger people, and group use was more intense. In other words, mobility, naturalness and openness were found to have a positive effect on campus.

Özet
Gençlerin gelişimi açısından çevreyi değerlendirmek gereklidir; gençlerin gelişim sürecini hızlandırmak, gençlik sürecinin kişilik gelişimine etkisini arttırmak için uygun mekânlarda zaman geçirmeleri gerekir. Çevre tasarımı açısından değerlendirildiğinde, meslekleriyle ilgili donanımlarını kazanmaları yanında gençlerin arkadaşlık ilişkilerinin yoğunlaştığı ve sosyal roller geliştirmeye başladığı önemli mekânlardan biri de üniversite kampüsleridir. Bu çalışmada da Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Kanuni Kampüsü açık mekânları önce literatürden belirlenen genç mekânlarının sahip olması gereken özellikler (hareketlilik, doğallık, açıklık) bakımından sınıflandırılmış, daha sonra bu mekânlarda gençlerin kullanımları gözlemlenmiştir. 3’ü belirlenen özellikler bakımından yüksek, 3 ü düşük olmak üzere toplam 6 kampüs mekânında davranış gözlemi yapılmış, gençlerin mekânları nasıl kullandığı incelenmiştir. Sonuçta özellikler açısından düzeyleri yüksek olan mekânların dahabaşarılı olduğu ve daha çok genç tarafından kullanıldığı ve grup kullanımının yoğunluktaolduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Yani hareketlilik, doğallık, açıklık özelliklerinin kampüs mekân kullanımını olumlu yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
