Although it seems impossible to eliminate vandalism completely, it is thought that it may be alleviated by some spatial measures. This study is aimed at paradigm of presence and impacts of act of vandalism in open public spaces in the cities and interrogation of the measures that can be taken against this action. In this study, act of Vandalism is examined based on equipment type-action type relation, color factor, material factor and previous damage-repetition factor.
