Historical environments have an important archive value as they carry the traces of the social and cultural life in
the past to the present and due to the correct relations established between human-nature-structure. With
urbanization, the interventions to some historical environments have increased, and these environments have been
put into use with restoration and protection processes. Structural and plant components that compose historical
textures create impressions in people's memory and are effective in the perception of urban identity and readability.
Most of the structural elements of these textures are built with the use of natural stone. Historical streets are one
of the most beautiful places of use of natural stone. In this context, Ortamahalle historical street, which is one of
the oldest historical districts of Trabzon province, was chosen as the study area. This study aims to reveal the
landscape value of the natural stone elements used in the construction of ancient times in Trabzon Ortamahalle,
which is a historical street, and to emphasize their contribution to the sustainability of urban areas. The factor
analysis was used to determine the level of importance among the parameters of aesthetic, original, functional,
memorable, impressive, harmonious, natural, continuous, perceptible, integrity effect. The 'One-Sample T' test
was used to determine whether the parameters were statistically significant, and correlation analysis was used to
see the relationship between the 'One-Sample T' test and parameters themselves. As a result, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between the purpose and areas of use of natural stone and the landscape value
according to the P˂0.01 value. In line with the findings obtained as a result of the study, suggestions were made
for future work regarding the design, implementation, and studies
