Abstract—Coastal fill areas has been thought that using of natural data is not considered in architectural design while fill areas were planning. It has been seen that the wind, should be included in design studies as a determining element in the design criteria. Otherwise, open spaces become uncomfortable. It has been suggested that landfills of Maltepe coastal areas have different climatic data before being filled. It has been thought that the utilization rate of coastal areas decrease comparing usage of unfilled areas. It has been showed with two-year individual observations that the rate changes according to users and climate. The aim of the project is to reveal the problem that the usage rate in Maltepe / İstanbul fill area changes depending on the wind intensity. In study, filling area examined in terms of wind speed and determined the intensity of usaged. The speed of the wind above 5 m/s in the open area is taken as the threshold value at where the user is disturbed.  Maps, graphics obtained which show the direction and speed of the wind in Maltepe coast.  Gale force was measured by ananometer and users of the areas were examined by questionnaire in three different specified area.  The photos are taken at the area for examine rate of use. According to obtained datas, the result is the wind affects the use of the field. According to the wind effect on users at the landfills areas, it was revealed that designers needs to consider measurement of the gale force in open space regulations. Open urban spaces are used by local in habitants and tourists. Its also important to be able to use the open urban spaces comfortably related to the cultural interaction. To ensure the comfort of usage of the open urban spaces for sustaniable tourism, will help the touristic cities to be preferable.
