Abstract

The quality of urban life especially in traditional city centers is important to assess it in terms of location and observe the criteria that are used to express it. For this reason, Aksaray's traditional city center has been determined as the study area within the scope of the research. Within the scope of the research, literature on quality of life and its criteria were examined and the methods utilized in the studies from 2003 to the present were revealed . In this context, the quality of life criteria to be used in the study were determined based on the concepts of belonging, identity, readability, security, walkability, sustainability, accessibility, functionality, and the components these concepts contain. As a result of the survey and analysis, it was found that 5 components out of 8 quality of life parameters were found sufficient by the users, while 3 components were found insufficient.
