Abstract :Perception is a personal experience and is often influenced by the gender, age, educational attainment as well as the experience and environmental factors they experience, as far as the scene is concerned with the image. Familiarity concept is considered related to legibility by some urban designers. The experience of the person and the frequency of use of the space, the legible identity of the space helps people to feel safe in the place where they are. This situation also affects positively the sense of space and its preferences, making it easier for the person to recognize the space and find direction. In this study, the concepts of legibility and familiarity of the first and third graders of civil engineering were explored in terms of how they interpreted and perceived a space and the differences that may arise in perception of space. Work has been done with 46 people were first-year students, 46 students were third-year students. The study area was determined as Beyoğlu, Hasköy District. In the study, questionnaires were applied to the students using 6 different street images and semantic differentiation scales obtained from 4 different street textures selected within the boundaries of Hasköy. In the evaluation of the questionnaires, frequency analysis, independent sampling t-test and correlation analysis were used. As a result of the analyses, it was seen that there was a significant difference in the way that civil engineering first and third graders perceived the streets. It is seen that there is a high correlation between legibility and familiarity as a result of correlation analysis. Third-year students perceived the place to be more legible than first-year students, but the influence of familiarity was also found in the formation of this difference.
