It was aimed in this study to determine the effects on the perceptual evaluations of participants for the design differences of mosque facades that were shaped according to periods, countries and architectural trends within the geographical boundaries where the Islamic religion spread. With this purpose, 100 participants treated in 3 groups (Seljukid period, Ottoman period and Turkish Republic Period) were evaluated with the semantic differentiation scale, which covered the variables of preference, complexity, impressiveness and stimulative of the facade visuals of 16 different mosques. In conclusion, the data obtained on the mosque visuals, which were used in the survey study, showed that there was a statistically significant differences among the variables of complexity, preference, impressiveness and stimulative and it was determined that there was a reverse U-shaped relationship between the variables of preference and complexity in the evaluation of mosque. Then, to examine the effect of age, gender and education level on participants evaluations of the mosque visuals, the one-way analysis of variance was applied. Accordingly, it was determined that the male participants displayed a more negative approach compared to female, middle-aged participants (36-50 years of age) compared to young participants (22-35 years of age), participants with higher education compared to participants with secondary education. According to results; the Ottoman period mosques were more complex compared to the others, they were preferenced more and found to be even more effective and stimulating.

Keywords: Complexity, impressiveness, mosque facade, perception, preference, social factors.

Bu �al��mada, �lkelere, mimari ak�mlara ve d�nemlere g�re farkl� olarak yap�lm�� cami cephelerinin insanlar taraf�ndan nas�l alg�land��n�n irdelenmesi ama�lanm��t�r. Bu kapsamda, Osmanl�, Sel�uklu ve Cumhuriyet D�nemi olmak �zere 3 farkl� gruba ayr�lan 16 adet cami cephe g�rseli, 100 ki�i taraf�ndan anket yolu ile analiz edilmi�tir. Anketlerde karma��kl�k, be�eni, etkileyicilik ve uyar�c�l�k olarak se�ilen d�rt farkl� s�fat �ifti be� basamakl� anlamsal farkl�la�ma �l�e�i ile de�erlendirilmi�tir. Yap�lan analizlerle se�ilen de�i�kenler aras�ndaki farkl�l�klar�n istatistiksel a��dan anlaml� oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r. �al��mada cami g�rselleri �zerinden elde edilen verilerin karma��kl�k, be�eni, etkileyicilik ve uyar�c�l�k gibi kavramlar aras�ndaki ili�kisi tespit edilmi� ve be�eni ile karma��kl�k aras�nda ters U �ekilli bir ili�kinin oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r. �al��mada ya�, cinsiyet ve e�itim d�zeyi gibi sosyal fakt�rlerin cami alg�s�nda ne �l��de etken oldu�unu saptamak i�in tek y�nl� varyans analizi yap�lm��t�r. Analizlere g�re erkek kat�l�mc�lar�n kad�nlara g�re camilerin alg�sal de�erlendirmesinde daha se�ici ya da ele�tirel olduklar� tespit edilirken, orta ya� (36-50 aras�) kat�l�mc�lar�n gen� (22-35 aras�) kat�l�mc�lara g�re daha ele�tirel oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r. Benzer �ekilde e�itim seviyesinin artmas� da cami de�erlendirmesinde se�icili�i art�rm��t�r. �al��madan elde edilen bulgulara g�re, Osmanl� d�nemi camilerinin di�er d�nemlere ait camilere g�re daha kompleks oldu�u g�r�lm�� buna ra�men daha �ok be�enilmi� ve etkileyici bulunmu�tur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Etkileyicilik, karma��kl�k, cami cephesi, alg�, tercih, sosyal fakt�rler.
