With this change, there is a need for more design and planning in campus landscapes. In parallel with this, long and short- term plans should be put forward. For example, studies should be carried out at the scale of the master plan, and the sub- scale studies should proceed by this plan. In this study, the Van YYU campus landscape development, which has a 40- year history and settled on a large area of 720 ha in terms of land size, has been examined under different headings. In this context, the current situation of the campus, the use of the campus and its surroundings, the building construction dates, the general landscape situation, the general landscape design approach, and the open and green space qualities have been examined and presented with visual maps. It has been observed that the connections between open green spaces and buildings in the campus landscape are weak, these connections have been strengthened with the projects implemented in recent years, and open green spaces providing functional use have been added. It has been observed from the past to the present that the campus landscape designs have not progressed within the framework of a certain concept, and it has been observed that the use of open green spaces has been tried to be created by making additions to the surroundings of the buildings made in line with the needs in general. However, it has been determined that studies such as the master plan study and joint open green space planning made in recent years contribute to creating a holistic concept in landscape designs for the university at this point. © 2023 Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCampus LandscapeLandscapeLandscape DevelopmentVanYuzuncu Yil UniversityBook PartN/AN/A761774
