It is an indisputable fact that interaction and socialization between individuals are important for a healthy society. For this reason, it is essential to develop spaces that provide group and community interaction between all ages and all members of the society. This study is based on the assumption that the interactions of active elderly individuals aged 65 and over with individuals in public interior spaces are important in increasing their quality of life. In order to ensure this interaction, it is thought that the supportive role of public interiors should be investigated. The aim of the study is to evaluate the contribution of shopping center spaces to interaction and socialization from the eyes of active elderly individuals aged 65 and over and to determine the social interaction levels of these individuals in the shopping center. For this purpose, the study was built on social interaction, one of the spatial quality parameters. The research method consists of 2 steps: field observation on the selected shopping center and face-to-face survey. The findings obtained from the study conducted with a group of 200 people were evaluated by making descriptive analysis in the SPSS program. According to the research data, the majority of the participants are of the opinion that the areas and activities that will support social interaction are insufficient in the shopping centers where the study is conducted. In the study, it was determined that the majority of the participants used the shopping place especially for passive socialization and enduring socialization. The use of the space for fleeting sociability, however, took place in the background. It is thought that the reason for this is that the shopping center cannot offer sufficient physical conditions and activity opportunities in terms of space design.
İlk kademe eğitim yapıları ve derslikler, çocukların algılarında yer eden ve mekânsal deneyim yaşadıkları ilk kamusal yapılardandır. Çocuklar gün içerisinde zamanlarının büyük bir bölümünü, etkileşim içerisinde oldukları, algı ve gelişimlerini etkileyen eğitim yapılarında geçirirler. Eğitim yapıları ve dersliklerde mekânsal algıyı etkileyen fiziksel parametreler çocuğun gelişimi, mekânsal algısı ve öğrenme verimliliği üzerinde doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etkilidir. Bu nedenle bu yapılarda mekan algısında etkili olan fiziksel parametrelerin bilinçli ve doğru tasarlanması önemlidir. Bu çalışmada algıyı etkileyen fiziksel parametreler (form, renk, doku, ışık, ölçek ve oran) ayrı ayrı ele alınarak ilk kademe eğitim yapılarında mekânsal algıya etkisi, farklı ülkelerde yer alan eğitim yapılarındaki kullanımlarından örneklerle irdelenmektedir. Sonuçlarda ise bu parametrelerin bilinçli kullanımları ile çocukların mekânsal algı ve gelişimlerine nasıl olumlu etki edilebileceğine dair öneriler sunulmaktadır.
This study was based on the assumption that physical factors affecting spatial perception have not been considered in the design of current classrooms where students are educated and have not been designed to contribute positively to the development and performance of students, so the goal of the study is to determine the physical characteristics in the spatial perception of the classroom of children aged 7-10 and their satisfaction with these physical characteristics. The study was set up in two stages, with an on-site detection study of the current situation in the classrooms of an elementary school located in the province of Trabzon in the first stage, while in the second stage, a planned face-to-face interview was conducted with 205 randomly selected students and the obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS software. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that students’ favorite places in their schools are their classrooms, and a classroom is an important pl+ace for students in their perceptions. When students’ narratives of their classrooms and narratives of the classrooms of their dreams were evaluated together, it was determined that the furniture in the classrooms was the most rememberable item for the students. The impact of classroom space in students’ perception has become particularly evident with the physical properties (color, configuration, form, size, etc.) of the architectural building materials (wall, door, floor color, etc.) and the furniture in the space. These materials have been heavily contained in the children’s narrative and expression about their classrooms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
