- Abstract
Break time has an important function in order to relief children from the effects of the past lecture and to enable them to participate more actively in the next lesson. Active break time is the complement of the school experience and learning process. In break time, school yards are extremely important to relieve mental tiredness during classes. School yards should be organized as areas that allow pupils to feel comfortable, have experience and adventure, increase communication power, and experience different kinds of physical mobility. The absence of active and creative playgrounds causes children to not improve their imagination, suffer from neurological tension, not being able to spend their free time and become violent. Within the scope of this study, the current situation of primary school yards in Kastamonu and the opportunities that they provide to students were examined. For this purpose, 8 primary school yards located in Kastamonu city center were identified as study material. These schools are Abdülhamit Primary School, Ali Fuat Darende Primary School, Candaroğulları Primary School, Cumhuriyet Primary School, Gazi Primary School, Isfendiyar Primary School, Mehmet Akif Ersoy Primary School, Toki Primary School. These school yards have been examined in line with the criteria of access-connection, safety, material reinforcement, plant arrangement and efficiency of space. School's yards were examined activity areas and landscaping characteristics in terms of planting and structural aspects. Afterwards, an expert group composed of 30 landscape architects looked into how much the schoolyards met the users' wishes and needs using a survey. As a result, it has been determined that school yards do not have sufficient regulation to allow extracurricular activities during breaks, the lack of greenary, and the concrete or asphalt flooring can not respond to the needs of the students such as social learning, physical movement and rest. Another situation was observed that the landscape design in the school yards are very similar.
