Abstract: | People may gather, trade, argue, vote, or simply spend time in public squares, which
have traditionally been the heart of the city. For the last few decades, public spaces
have seen significant changes, owing primarily to technical advancements that have
resulted in the city's rapid growth. The public squares, like all other portions of the
city, have been affected. Some of the squares became unsightly since they were no
longer attractive and/or comfortable for the people. Moving from this argument, this
study aims to uncover key features that have a favorable impact on the public square
and make them successful entities. If an urban square can respond to people's
requirements, make them feel at ease, it will be more appealing to wider public making
it a successful urban space.
For this purpose, the study focuses on key authors of urban design with an attempt to
understand the key features that makes an urban space successful. These key features
are reinforced in the selected examples from around the world. The knowledge gained
from the literature based on successful urban squares are utilized to assess the fountain
square in Baku city.

Geleneksel olarak kentin kalbi olarak tanımladığımız kamusal alanlar, insanların
biraraya geldiği, alışveriş yaptığı, ve hoş vakit gecirdiği mekanlar olarak bilinmekte
idi. Ancak son yarım yuzyıla baktığımızda, kentlerin ekonomik ve teknolojik
dönüşümlere bağlı olarak nüfus hızla büyümüş; ve bu durum kamusal alanlar üzerinde
de etkilerini göstermiştir. Dönüşümm geçiren kent meydanları eski işlevlerini
yenilerine bırakırken, çekiciliklerini de yitirmişlerdir. Bu tartışmaden yola çıkan bu
çalışma kentsel tasarım alanındaki ana kaynaklara ve seçilmiş başarılı örneklere
yoğunlasarak kamusal alanlarda ön plana cikan temel kriterlere dikkat çekmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Insanlarin ihtiyaçlarına karşılık verebilen ve onlara belli bir konforu
sunabilen meydanlar, tercih edilen başarılı mekanlar olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu
kriterler ışığında Bakü kentindeki Çesme Meydanı’nı analiz eden çalışma, bu mekanın
ne kadar başarılı olduğu konusunda bazı öngörülerde bulunmaktadır.
