For this reason, thestudy aims to investigate the change in the spatial preferences in the society with thepandemic and to create an idea for the next pandemics. In this context, 289 peoplewere reached by using the online survey method and various questions were asked.Various results were obtained and interpreted by performing variance analysis, factoranalysis, correlation analysis, crosstabs test and frequency analysis (P?0.01) on theobtained data. As a result of the study, from the statistical data, it has been observedthat 'people are more oriented to nature' due to the Covid-19 pandemic and that opengreen spaces suitable for social distance are sought in spatial preferences. Thesefindings shed new light on the value of urban nature as resilience infrastructure duringa time of crisis.
