The symbolic meanings of plants and their psychological benefits to people is a neglected issue. With the help of this study, it is tried to determine which plants can be identified with still waterscapes. In addition, it is revealed which sizes and characteristic properties of plants are identified with still waterscape. Thus, it will be revealed that plant-space identification and plants can be evaluated as an element that strengthens the meaning of spaces. In order to reveal the plant-space identification, a survey was conducted on a total of 500 people, including 100 primary school students, 100 secondary school students, 100 high school students, 100 university students and 100 university graduates. As a result of the study, it was determined that Salix, Populus, Papaver, Pinus, and Cupressus plant species were identified with still waterscape, respectively. In addition, it was revealed that trees were most preferred in terms of size and broad-leaved trees were most preferred in terms of characteristic properties for still waterscape. In addition, it was determined whether education levels and gender differences have any effect on plant-space identification. As a result of Chi-square analyses, it was determined that education level was effective in preference distribution and gender difference was not effective. As a result of the study, it was emphasized that plants can be used as effective indicators to identify places.
