Article Effects of Retail Lighting on Product Color Perception and User Satisfaction(Anadolu Univ, 2022-12-21) Dilgen, Ozge; Hasirci, DenizLight source color properties in retail applications are among the most important factors affecting the user satisfaction in shopping places. A lighting design with a low color rendering value and an unsuitable color temperature can create a difference in the color perception of the product which may affect customers purchase decision or cause dissatisfaction resulting in the return of the product. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of lighting on product color perception and customer's feedback on the color difference. In order to fulfill this aim, the color differences of the chosen products are examined in three different key areas of a chain clothing store in Izmir, Turkey and compared with the color under daylight. Moreover, the user feedback is taken via a questionnaire to discuss the relationship between color display and user satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The collected data shows that although people do not realize the color differences inside the store, if they experience it after their purchase it may result in the return of the product. As a result of the study, it is suggested that retail store designers and lighting engineers should collaborate to ensure that the consumer perceives what the product designer intended as accurately as possible.Article Citation - WoS: 3Biophilic Interior Design: a Case Study on the Relation Between Water Elements and Well-Being of the Users in an Educational Building(Anadolu Univ, 2021-12-27) Nevzati, Fiona; Demirbas, O. Osman; Hasirci, DenizThe concept of biophilia is an innate human tendency to seek connection with nature. Biophilic design is the integration of the built environment and nature, which offers an opportunity to design healthier places, resulting in lower stress and improved well-being. Water elements are considered one of the most effective biophilic design elements for the betterment of the interiors through decreased stress and improved mood. This paper examines the relationships between well-being and principles of biophilic design through indoor water elements, with specific focus on educational environments. A case study was conducted examining the effects of various indoor water elements for an entrance area of an educational building. It was found that occupants were generally content with the presence of interior water elements, and they perceived that direct access to nature made them feel more connected with it. There is a statistically significant difference between the responses of males and females, t = -2.041, p = 0.045 (p<0.05), while females perceived lowered stress when in the presence of interior water elements, males were more neutral. The research study concludes with a discussion on the means by which interior water elements can reduce stress and increase relaxation.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3An Analysis of Physical and Psychological Expectations of Earthquake Victims From Temporary Shelters: a Design Proposal(Middle East Technical Univ, 2012-06-01) Yuksel, Belma; Hasirci, Deniz; İnceoğlu, Deniz HasırcıThis study analyzes physical and psychological expectations of earthquake victims from temporary shelters and presents a design proposal. Interviews were conducted with earthquake victims in the city of Kocaeli in Turkey, and needs were identified. Also, user survey results from previous studies that have been conducted after the August 17th earthquake in 1999 were used to establish the design requirements for a temporary housing unit. While lack of space and issues of crowding, noise, and hygiene were mentioned as the most important problems in temporary earthquake shelters, suggestions to improve them included consideration of psychology and privacy needs of victims. The need for a home and not just a shelter has been identified and design guidelines have been examined.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Materiality of Mid-Century Modern Furniture in Turkey(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2021-02-05) Ultav, Zeynep Tuna; Hasirci, Deniz; Atmaca, Hande; Çetin, Hande AtmacaThe modern interior emerged as a complex phenomenon, an interchange of modernity and its materiality. One of the constituent elements of this complexity is the progressive relationship with technology. This paper explores the materiality of furniture in terms of its material qualities, production technologies, craft component and inefficacies. The paper focuses on mid-century modern furniture in Turkey as a unique example in the history of furniture design, especially in terms of materiality. In order to understand the material qualities of this historical context, oral history provided a vital methodological tool to uncover the philosophy behind production, contemporary conditions and the designers' personal experiences through their own words. This enables the study to add significantly to the limited knowledge about modern furniture and especially materials in Turkey. The analysis is divided into three parts: materials, production technologies and difficulties. By investigating the material qualities of a furniture piece, the study extends beyond mere forms or styles to cultural productions that narrate the country's efforts to develop and thrive. In addition, it reveals the evolution of both materials and manufacturing techniques. Finally, by connecting these stories to specific furniture pieces, this study documents furniture not just as an artefact but also as the final product of an assemblage of people, materials, and techniques.
