Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31An Integrated Framework on Soundscape Perception and Spatial Experience by Adapting Post-Occupancy Evaluation Methodology(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Aburawis, Ayad A. Mohamed; Yorukoglu, Papatya Nur Dokmeci; Dokmeci Yorukoglu, Papatya NurThe effecting factors of soundscape perception and space experience have a very close relationship. This study aims to synthesize the diversity of soundscape classifications and schemes and unify such factorial variations in order to develop an integrated framework for soundscape perception and spatial experience within a systematic review of recent progress and by adapting post-occupancy evaluation methodology. First, factors under soundscape perception and space experience are reviewed in detail and merged to form conceptual classification models. Six soundscape perception factors are formed as (1) sonic, (2) spatial, (3) temporal, (4) psychological, (5) behavioural and (6) personal. Similarly, five space experience factors are formed as (1) user, (2) usage, (3) architectural design, (4) social context and (5) physical environment. All related items in the literature are presented and the sub-items under each factor are exemplified. Second, factors under the merged conceptual models are integrated by considering occupants' experience of space regarding their variance in perception of soundscapes through acoustical post-occupancy evaluation. An adapted study design is proposed under indicative, investigative and diagnostic stages of the post-occupancy evaluation by presenting the methods, data types and factorial correlations for each stage.Conference Object Conceptual Framework for a Decision-Making Model Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp) To Select the Best Public Private Partnership (Ppp) Model for Airports(New Zealand Acad Applied Research Ltd, 2017) Mohammed, Ali Omar; Harputlugil, Timuçin; Harputlugil, Timucin; MimarlıkThe adoption of public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a strategy for infrastructure projects, such as airports, highways, bridges, water supplies, and telecommunication, has been implemented in developed and developing countries with a number of obstacles. Based on this stance, critical success factors (CSFs) of public-private partnership projects and the selection of appropriate PPP models are critical issues that need to be analyzed. A multidisciplinary review of the literature on the critical success factors of public-private partnerships projects reveals the lack of a comprehensive decision-making model for selecting an appropriate PPP model. This paper presents a conceptual framework for a decision-making model to select the best PPP model considering CSFs for developing countries. The model is expected to be used for infrastructure projects, mostly for airports. The decision-making model is structured on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and sensitivity analysis. The decisionmaking model is expected to be adopted as a tool and contribute to decision makers for selecting the best fit PPP model for airports in order to enhance projects successfully.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Investigating the Restorative Potential of Women's Home Environments(Springer, 2023) Imamoglu, Cagri; Aksel, ElifAlthough research on restorative environments suggest that natural settings have therapeutic effects in moderating stress and promoting positive experiences, there is a limited body of literature inquiring about the therapeutic potential of interior environments. The aim of the current study was to understand the restorative potential of home environments regarding theoretical background on restorative environments and architectural dimensions influencing well-being through the experiences of women. We interviewed 11 adult women using the photo-elicitation technique to investigate the perceived restorativeness of their home environments. Thematic analysis of qualitative data indicated that the design attributes of spaces play a significant role in promoting the restoration process. In addition to design attributes, we found family interaction, socialising, and engaging in activities could also be influential. Furthermore, the exploratory nature of the research highlighted the significance of individual meanings and personal factors in shaping the perceived restorativeness of home environments. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed to encourage future research in related fields that explore the relationship between residential settings and well-being.Article Assessment of Daylighting in a Historical Educational Building: Ankara University Faculty of Science Analytical Chemistry Laboratory(Znack Publishing House, 2023) Avci, Ayse NihanThe conditions of Ottoman architecture persisted during the republican period at the turn of the 20th century. Later, radical changes in the structure of the state affected the field of architecture, and changes in the world were reflected in our country. The structures that are the subject of architectural debates are typically early republican period buildings, which were built between 1920s and 1950s. On the other hand, in past buildings, the interior de-sign criteria that are important for the user in interior design have been the subject of interest in various disciplines. Lighting - daylighting and electric lighting - in different interiors is one of the design criteria that has intrigued many researchers. Laboratories, classrooms, studios, circulation areas, administrative spaces, offices, conference rooms, and wet spaces are all common features of educational buildings. Each of these spaces has unique lighting requirements. The aim of this study is to assess the daylighting performance in the interior and encourage similar studies in historical educational buildings rather than the architectural design of these buildings. Daylighting performance was assessed in the analytical chemistry laboratory at the Ankara University Faculty of Science, block A, which was built during the Second National Architectural Movement and bears the traces of Sedad Hakki El-dem, Emin Onat, and Paul Bonatz. A morning interval (10:00-11:00) where the courses are considered the most productive was chosen for the evaluation. The results were compared and interpreted with the values specified in the standards; the measurement is limited to the day and time interval. Keywords: daylighting, the Second National Architectural Movement, Ankara, Faculty of Science, educational building, analytical chemistry laboratoryArticle Urbanity in the Open Spaces in Developing Nodes Along Main Arteries: Sogutozu Node on Dumlupinar Road in Ankara(Middle East Technical Univ, 2022) Uysal Bilge, Fulay; Dogu Demirbas, Guler Ufuk; Alanyali Aral, Ela; Demi˙rbaş, Güler Ufuk Doğu; Bi˙lge, Fulay Uysal; Aral, Ela AlanyaliThe effects of the main transportation arteries on the urban sprawl and the formation of new public spaces is an important topic of discussion today. Considering the urban roads, major arteries trigger fast development and the formation of a significant amount of urban open space together with buildings. Vehicular roads are the main elements that bring out urbanity and centrality by providing a combination of circulation at different speeds and making possible the interaction of users from local and remote areas ( Jacobs, 1969; Nijenhuis, 1994 and Read, 2006). In this context, sub-spaces were defined as public spaces that are beside / under / above / between / within vehicular roads and the sub-space perceptions of pedestrians in the case of the closest part of Ankara Eskisehir Road to the city center, were investigated in an earlier study (Alanyali Aral and Demirbas, 2015). In the current study, Sogutozu is defined as a developing node with its rapidly increasing built stock and function density on one of the most important transportation arteries of the city, and its urban features are discussed within the scope of the emerging open spaces. Despite the unsuitable conditions, Sogutozu node displays a constant pedestrian density, and with this feature, it exemplifies 'activity' as an important indicator, which Montgomery (1998) defines as one of the three components of the concept of 'urbanity'. Accordingly, a conceptual framework is developed on the characteristics of urbanity, activity and public space, and then the components of the open space stock are discussed within the scope of spaces of 'places' and 'flows' (Nijhuis and Jauslin, 2015) specific to developing nodes. Spaces of 'places' in developing nodes include privately owned public use spaces, in-between spaces and informal public spaces-'fourth place's (Aelbrecht, 2016). The spaces of the 'flows', on the other hand, are discussed as pedestrian spaces that enhance urbanity. In the case study, firstly the historical and current development of Sogutozu node is examined, and then a comprehensive model based on the relevant pedestrian needs is suggested to evaluate the activity-based urbanity the node. The defining elements of the activity-based urbanity are explored via map analysis and on-site observations, whereas the pedestrian perceptions in the node are investigated with the applied questionnaires. The results show that the pedestrian experience is negatively affected due to the conditional and intermittent pedestrian access, as well as the inability to provide physical, psychological and physiological comfort; nevertheless, many and various activities add vitality to the area which result in many informal public spaces (fourth places) formed at the entrances and transitions to the public and semi-public spaces. The questionnaire survey, which was conducted with fewer but still comparable numbers of users due to the pandemic conditions, included the pedestrian perception questions in the survey conducted in 2005-2007. It is seen that although today the perception of traffic such as noise increased slightly, the perception of air pollution and traffic safety problems decreased. Additionally, the perception of public space qualities like well-known and dynamic / lively spaces increased significantly and constituted the most common perception after the perception of noisy / tiresome space. The results reveal that open spaces in the node of Sogutozu, where mixed use, large-scale and fragmented complexes are dominant, cannot provide environmental and internal continuity as well as appropriate walking environment within the framework of activity-based urbanization, and thus necessitate a holistic urban design approach. The urbanism formed in this rapidly developing node can be enhanced by temporal and spatial continuities; in addition to provision of pedestrian comfort with the arrangements to reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle dominance. The overall evaluation validates that the open spaces in the node should be enriched with accessible spaces for all users, carefully designed indoor-outdoor relations, cultural uses, small-scale businesses and activities spanning time.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Tensile Performance of Traditional and Modern Corner Joints in Wooden Structures(Zagreb Univ, Fac Forestry, 2022) Atar, Musa; Gode, Fazli; Kucuktuvek, Mustafa; Akan, Asli Er; Ormecioglu, Hilal Tugba; Keskin, HakanCorner joints are critical points of wooden structures not only in furniture construction but also in traditional wooden architecture, especially in constructions without nails. This study was performed to determine the effects of particular factors such as the axis of assembly, types of material, and adhesive on the tensile performance of various modern and traditional types of wooden corner joints. For this purpose, various corner joint specimens were prepared with three different wooden materials: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris Lipsky) wood, Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra Lipsky) wood, and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) using two different adhesives: polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and polyurethane (Desmodur-VTKA) glues; and five different wooden joint types: dowel, tongue-and-groove, half-blind dovetail, screw, and eccentric screw joints. Tensile performance tests, vertical and parallel to the axis of assembly, were carried out according to ASTM D 1037 guidelines. Experiments indicated that, while the tensile performance of MDF specimen connected with a screw and PVAc adhesive was the highest under loading parallel to the axis of assembly (4592 N); it was the lowest under loading parallel to the axis of assembly in MDF specimen connected with tongue-and-groove joint and PVAc adhesive (260 N), respectively. As a result, it may be advantageous to apply screwed joints in corners for high tensile strength in parallel to the axis of the assembly.Article Changes and Problems of Conservation in Ankara-Ulus Historical City Center: Koyunpazari Slope and Atpazari Square(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2021) Karakus, Filiz; Urak, Z. GedizPurpose In this study, the settlement located in Koyunpazari Slope and Hisar (Atpazari) Square, which has an important position in the Atpazari-Koyunpazari-Samanpazari area, which is the oldest part of the Ankara-Ulus Historical City Center, was examined in a way to include Cengelhan and Cukurhan. With this study, it is aimed to determine the changes and conservation problems in the field and to give direction to the changes planned for the future in the area. Design/Methodology/Approach Analysis and evaluation studies conducted in 1998 have been repeated in the mentioned area. Research and surveys have been conducted on the number of buildings in the area, the number of floors, the physical conditions of the buildings, the number of sub-units, types of activities, ownership status, frequency of purchasing goods, types of transportation, spatial competence, infrastructure competencies and future expectations of the working population. Findings As a result of these studies, the changes and problems occurred in the period from 1998 to 2020 have been determined. It has been observed that there are serious changes in the area due to cultural tourism, as in all over the world and in our country. The infrastructural deficiencies are the main problems identified in the area. Furthermore, it has been observed that the traffic problem has not been solved completely and also some buildings need repair. Research Limitations/Implications The fact that the field of study could not be expanded due to the application of the survey questions in the field of study in 1998 constitutes the limitations of this study. Social/Practical Implications With this study, it is aimed to draw attention to the conservation of the historical environment in Koyunpazari Street and Atpazari Square, which is an important point of the Ulus Historical City Center, and to create a social awareness about the preservation of the area in question. Originality/Value This study is significant as it discusses the conservation problems in one of the oldest areas of Ankara and aims to give direction to future changes in the field by formulating proposals for the solution of these problems.Article A Comparative Research on Space of Women in Prayer Place Interiors of Celestial Religions: Cases From Istanbul(Gazi Univ, 2020) Disli, Gulsen; Ozcan, ZuhalCross-cultural comparison has been used in architecture mostly to discuss the components of culture, knowledge, and value systems, yet to date there is not a specific comparative study on gendered architecture in prayer places of celestial religions, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Hence, this study aims to reveal how attendance of women in prayer places with different national, historic, religious, and cultural characteristics shaped architectural space organization and to assess potential similarities and differences of women's section in prayer spaces of celestial religions by examining literature survey, archival and historic research, including field observations. In addition to general observations in building scale, some exemplary historic synagogues, churches, and mosques in Istanbul still in use have been chosen as case studies, and their plan typologies, as well as types and locations of women's galleries/sections have been discussed. Cross-cultural comparison parameters were; development of women's section in prayer places as a structured architectural space and basic architectural terminologies used to define women's section. The major conclusion of the study is that originally women had right to worship in prayer spaces without any physical separation in all three religions, yet in time the place of women had a more defined/divided/structured character especially in Islam and Judaism. The study also indicates that while at present day, gendered architecture is still the predominant approach in Islam and in Orthodox Judaism; mix congregation in a single-unsegregated space for both sexes is more common in contemporary society of Christianity.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Translation of Soundscape Perceptual Attributes From English To Turkish(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Yorukoglu, P. N. Dokmeci; Bayrak, O. Turker; Coban, N. Akbulut; Osma, U. B. Ercakmak; Aletta, F.; Oberman, T.; Kang, J.; Dökmeci Yörükoğlu, P.N.; Erçakmak Osma, U.B.; Türker Bayrak, Ö.; Akbulut Çoban, N.The International Standard Organization (ISO) published the standard series on soundscape for the identification, data collection and data analysis. However, since all these standards are in English language, the reliable standardized usage in other languages and its applicability is questionable. Thus, this two-staged study aims: i) to determine the Turkish equivalences of the 8 soundscape perceptual attributes that are published in ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 and ISO/TS 12913-3:2019, ii) to analyze if the determined Turkish attributes have concept equivalence to the original ones, and iii) to determine if the translated Turkish scale is reproducible. The first stage involved the translation of the attributes by focus group discussions and finalization by Turkish linguistic experts. As a result, the attributes 'eventful', 'vibrant', 'pleasant', 'calm', 'uneventful', 'monotonous', 'annoying', and 'chaotic' are translated to Turkish as 'hareketli', 'coskulu', 'keyifli', 'sakin', 'duragan', 'tekduze', 'rahatsiz edici', and 'karmasik', respectively. The second stage involves the analysis of reproducibility in terms of inter-rater reliability and conceptual validity. It is found that the Turkish scale is reproducible based on high inter-rater reliability in all attri-butes. Context validity at a conceptual level is analyzed both in terms of the difference between the aver-age scores given to the English attributes and their corresponding Turkish equivalences and the correlation between the English and Turkish scores given to each attribute. The highest difference between the average scores (around 10 points on a slider scale of 0 to 100) is found to be in the translation of 'vibrant' while the lowest correlated one (slightly lower than 0.5) is found in 'chaotic' attribute as in line with literature. Despite this result, when the scores are reduced to 2 dimensions as pleasantness and eventfulness, it is seen that there is a high correlation between the English and Turkish scales. It is considered that the results obtained from this research could act as a base in the future for the establishment of Turkish Standards on soundscape and standardization of the translated and validated Turkish soundscape perceptual attributes and the 'perceived affective quality' scale defined under ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 in English.

Research on color design tends to explore this seemingly contradictory concerns from theoretical point of view, as well as architectural and design practice. The aim of this study was to observe subjective, intuitive or heuristic and objective, knowledge-based or analytical attitudes toward color in design education. In the study 84 introductory design students were surveyed progressively to understand their color decision criteria after completion of three 2-dimensional colored exercises, specific in terms of color education. Students' responses to open-ended questions were coded according to the 5 categories, under 2 decision making processes derived from the literature; heuristic approach: preferential and symbolic criteria, and analytic reasoning: formal, thematic, and systematic criteria. A distinction between associative and emotional aspects of symbolic criteria was also revealed by the data analysis. The findings showed a shift from heuristic responses to analytic reasoning, as expected. Additionally, it is also investigated that students not only used heuristic approaches but also analytical components (formal and systematic) of color decision making in varying degrees as well, even before any color subjects covered. Thematic color decisions became a major part of the students' design considerations upon completion of color subjects. The observed increase in the number of color criteria interrelated by the students' among almost all categories explicated a complex decision making process particularly in color design and education. These findings were expected to lead to some further understanding in color decision making in design.
