In today's conditions, with the phenomenon of urbanization, natural habitats, which people and animals need, are disappearing at an increasing rate. As a result of the rapid consumption of natural habitats, many species and human life are adversely affected. Open public spaces which people can spend their leisure time and get away from urban life, albeit for a short-term, and reach recreation, remain inadequate in terms of quality and quantity. Zoos, one of the places where people spend time with animals, are planned and designed with the concept of insufficient space. However, in order to be efficient for people and animals, exhibit areas of animals should have a wide and unlimited effect. In this study, the concept of zoo and purposes, types and planning-design principles of zoos will be discussed. Subsequently, the concept of wildlife park (safari park) will be examined. In summary, the fact that safari parks are in fact typologies of zoos and how they differ in our country will be explained.
