Article A Research on Comparison of Elevator Traffic Analysis Methods in Educational Buildings(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2023) Harputlugil, Timucin; Deligoez, Dostcan; Deligöz, DostcanPurpose: Regarding elevator design in educational buildings; It is aimed to investigate the legal framework, to integrate dynamic simulation programs to design process, to compare traditional and dynamic simulation methods, to evaluate the adequacy of elevator features specified in the legislation and to determine the optimum scenarios according to the minimum requirements.Theory and Methods: Based on the findings of the literature review, which examines the issue of elevator traffic analysis together with the legislation and regulations, the carrying capacities of the elevators in the educational buildings designed by the Ministry of National Education (MNE) are tested. The stability of the system is tested by analyzing the conditions where only the disabled, disabled and building workers can be used together and all building users can use the elevators with the dynamic simulation method (with Elevate Software). The limits of the system are determined based on the waiting times during the peak usage periods. The findings of the study are evaluated according to the waiting times determined by CIBSE Guide D and the Chamber of Mechanical Engineers followed by the discussion of the outcomes.Results: The issue of elevator design has been overlooked in educational buildings, and a comprehensive elevator traffic analysis method has not been defined. For the effective use of all occupants, elevator design should be handled comprehensively with considering potentials of dynamic simulation method.Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, it is noted that the number and capacity of elevators in the legislation for educational buildings are determined only for minimum conditions and for disabled users. In addition, the legislation (considering calculation methodology) is not specific for educational buildings but related with buildings in general with public use. Considering the occupants, and their profiles of the educational buildings, a more comprehensive traffic analysis with the dynamic simulation method may enable the elevators to be designed and to be used more efficiently.Article Citation - WoS: 18Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp) as an Assessment Approach for Architectural Design: Case Study of Architectural Design Studio(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2018) Harputlugil, TimucinArchitectural design is complex and can be defined as an effective decision-making activity based on problem solving. This complexity is not based on content and volume of problems, but also heterogeneity and uncertainty of information provided for assessment, subjective approaches, and a large number of the criterion for assessment. The aim of this research paper is to contribute to the researches for assessment of architectural design by providing a novel approach based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) - a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The approach supports an effective comparative analysis among the alternative projects based on determined criterion. The methodology is implemented with a case study in one of the design studios of Department of Architecture of Cankaya University on final design projects of a group of students with observation, research and assessment. The data used in the assessment is collected through interviews and surveys which is analysed by the help of a software. Based on the outcomes of the AHP-based approach, it has been seen that this approach can provide numerical results that are comparable, measurable, gradable, consistent and can be reported separately for each assessor. However, it has also been found that the AHP-based method is suitable for evaluating only a limited number of projects. With the research, and by setting thresholds levels for evaluation, it has become clear that successful and unsuccessful projects can be separated for achievement and competence. Consequently, it has been observed that the approach has considerable potentials to be further developed to evaluate architectural projects comparatively, especially for architectural students' projects, and other architectural projects such as architectural design competitions.
