From the past to the present, open green spaces have been urban gaps that help people to realize many activities. Towards the
end of 2019, a pandemic process started in Wuhan city in Hubei Province of China and affected the whole world in a short time. The
pandemic process has also created many spatial changes in addition to the health problems it caused people to experience. New
preferences and new demands have also initiated new venue organizations.
Within the scope of this study, the pandemic and spatial preference changes in the city of Trabzon were examined. The
examination was carried out with a participant group of 100 people. The spatial preferences of the participant group before and after the
pandemic and their outdoor activity preferences were asked. The data obtained as a result of the study will form a basis data on how
people can have preferences in future studies. The issue of how there are potential places to meet the needs of people in possible
disaster / epidemic / pandemic situations was discussed within the scope of the study.
