ABSTRACT:Obesity is one of the important issues in the World's agenda. Similarly, in Turkey, obesity rate is gradually increasing and affecting people in many ways from health to clothing. In terms of clothing, despite increasing obesity rate, plus-size market has been underserved, and users have dissatisfactions in terms of overall shopping environment, size availability, design and garment fit. Thus, the main aim of this study was to determine the problems in plus-size women's clothing through a survey study and to introduce design approaches considering innovative materials, technologies and construction techniques. In this context, customization tools, 3D body scanning, seamless garment technology, functional clothing and smart textiles were researched.Keywords: Plus-size clothing, fit, design, survey, 3D body scanning technologies, seamless garment technology, functional clothing TÜRKİYE'DEKİ BÜYÜK BEDEN KADIN GİYİMİNDEKİ PROBLEMLERİ BELİRLEMEYE YÖNELİK ANKET ÇALIŞMASIÖZET: Obezite Dünya gündemindeki önemli konulardan biridir. Benzer şekilde, Türkiye'de de obezite oranı artış göstermekte ve insanları sağlıktan giyime kadar birçok yönden etkilemektedir. Giyim açısından, obezite oranındaki artışa rağmen, büyük beden giyim pazarı yeterli hizmeti sunamamakta ve kullanıcılar genel alışveriş ortamı, kendilerine uygun bedenlerin olmaması, ürünün tasarımı ve vücuda uygunluğu açısından sorun yaşamaktadırlar. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışmanın temel amacı büyük beden kadın giyiminde karşılaşılan sorunları bir anket aracılığıyla belirlemek, yenilikçi malzemeleri, teknolojileri ve yapım tekniklerine yönelik tasarım yaklaşımlarını ele almaktır. Bu bağlamda, kişiselleştirme araçları, 3 boyutlu vücut tarama teknolojisi, dikişsiz giysi teknolojisi, fonksiyonel giysiler ve akıllı tekstiller araştırılmıştır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Büyük beden giyim, bedene uygunluk, tasarım, anket, 3D vücut tarama teknolojileri, dikişsiz giysi teknolojisi, fonksiyonel giysiler
According to data of World Health Organization, it was estimated that 253 million were visually impaired worldwide in 2017 (WHO, 2017). For those with moderate to total blindness and visual impairment, daily activities such as mobility, communication, education, clothing and shopping cannot be carried out independently. Assistive technologies (AT) offer solutions to contribute to the quality of life of those with visual impairments. Considering the daily obstacles faced by such individuals, as a prior step for design development of alternative ATs, this paper includes an overview of ATs. Since this overview addresses a lack of applications in clothing related AT, the following survey aims to acquire feedback from people with visual impairment, focusing on clothing related issues, with the aim of making improvements in design.
