“…To this end, Coşgun et al (2022) argue that there is a gender difference in the evaluation of interior space such as layout, color and other physical characteristics. In the same fashion, Yılmaz et al (2022) point out gender differences in the evaluation of interior spaces based on materials and color.…”

Purpose The overall purpose of the study is to identify the gender differences in color preferences for different types of interior space in the residential built environment in Prishtina, Kosovo. Additionally, the purpose of the study is also to identify the gender differences in the emotions that various colors trigger in occupants of the mainly residential built environment. Design/methodology/approach The present study uses a quantitative study and χ2 test to analyze whether the variables formulated by study hypotheses are dependent on gender. The data are gathered by a questionnaire to measure the color preferences of the respondents. The study uses a questionnaire with eight questions that were distributed to 303 respondents using the stratified probability sampling, using gender as the main stratum for probability sampling. Findings The study finds that there are no gender differences in color preferences for home lighting, living room, bedroom, study room and children’s rooms in the residential built environment. The study also finds that there is a gender difference in color preferences that trigger emotions of tranquility, stability and security and warmth and pleasure in both male and female respondents. Practical implications The implications of this study are that real estate and facility management firms must conduct marketing research to identify the color preferences for both housing interior and exterior depending on the different local cultural backgrounds of clients. Firms must provide training for real estate agents on the color preferences of clients for various types of spaces and the differences that may exist based on gender but also other variables. Originality/value The present study is the first quantification of gender differences in color preferences of the residential built environment in the capital city of an understudied region such as Kosovo.

In this study, it was aimed to improve the mechanical properties of laminated timber beams by using Novel Composite Systems (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Wire Rope). Reducing the cross-sectional area of the beam is important for the strength conditions required in large span systems with structural laminated wood material. Within the scope of this study, it is foreseen that the use of wood, which is an environmentally friendly and sustainable building element, will be made more economical and safe, instead of reinforced concrete and steel elements currently used to pass wide openings. Structural behavior of hybrid reinforced laminated timber beams was determined under the loading system. Experimental findings show that normal laminated timber beam (0N) has a maximum load of 14 kN and a deflection of 36 mm. On the other hand, the highest increase in the values of laminated beams reinforced with steel ropes was obtained with the (2N) reinforcement, with a maximum load of 38 kN and a displacement of 137mm. In this way, a load increase of 168% and a displacement increase of 275% compared to the reference sample were obtained. Since the steel rope-reinforced samples absorb the load, crack formation and transfer to the upper layers are prevented. 3F beam specimen reinforced with CFRP and steel ropes obtained maximum load of 28 kN and a displacement of 152 mm. Compared to the reference sample, a load increase of 92% and a displacement increase of 14% were obtained. Consequently, the fabrics placed between the layers with CFRP prevented crack development and provided a significant interlayer connection. It has been observed that the fiber composite-reinforced wooden beams increase the load bearing capacity by more than 50% and exhibit a ductile behavior. The carbon fabrics placed between the laminated wooden beams with the innovative reinforcement system will not both disrupt the aesthetics and will reduce the effect of earthquake forces, and significant reductions can be achieved in the sections.

“…Wooden boards used in the lamination process should have a homogeneous structure and show higher strength properties [20]. Carrier system elements can be produced in desired dimensions and openings in wooden structural elements [21,22].Fire resistance compared to solid wooden structural elements is quite high [23].The lightness of the carrier elements in wooden systems provides great convenience in production and assembly [24]: wooden structures can be dismantled and reused and their parts in the system can be changed [25].…”
