Article Bi̇yofi̇li̇k İç Mekan Tasarımı: Bi̇r Eği̇ti̇m Bi̇nasında Su Öğesi̇ Kullanımı İle Kullanıcı Refah Sevi̇yesi̇ Arasındaki̇ İli̇şki̇ Üzeri̇ne Bi̇r Alan Çalışması(2021-12-27) HASIRCI, Deniz; Nevzati, Fiona; Demirbas, Ozgen OsmanBiyofili kavramı, insanların doğuştan gelen doğa ile bağlantı kurma eğilimidir. Biyofilik tasarım ise sağlıklı mekanlar tasarlama fırsatı sunan, daha düşük stres ve gelişmiş refah sağlayan, yapılı çevre ve doğanın bütünleşmesidir. Su öğeleri, stresin azalması ve ruh halinin iyileştirilmesi yoluyla iç mekanların geliştirilmesi için en etkili biyofilik tasarım unsurlarından biri olarak kabul edilir. Bu makale, eğitim ortamlarına özel olarak odaklanarak, iç mekan su özellikleri aracılığıyla sağlık ve biyofilik tasarım ilkeleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektedir. Bir eğitim binasının giriş alanı için çeşitli iç mekan su özelliklerinin etkilerini inceleyen bir vaka çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, bina sakinlerinin genellikle iç mekan su unsurlarının varlığından memnun olduğu ve doğaya doğrudan erişimin kendilerini onunla daha bağlantılı hissetmelerini sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Erkeklerin ve kadınların tepkileri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olarak, kadınların iç mekanda su unsurları kullanıldığı zaman daha az stres algıladıkları, erkeklerde ise bu durumun daha daha nötr olduğu saptanmıştır (t = -2.041, p = 0.045, pArticle Citation - Scopus: 1Contradicting Parochial Realms in Neighborhood Parks: How the Park Attributes Shape Women’s Park Use(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2023-06-01) Kaştaş Uzun, İpek; Şenol, F.; Kaştaş-Uzun, İpekNeighborhood parks are significant green public spaces located in close social and geographical proximity to homes to maintain individual and public health. However, some people do not use the nearest parks, but those with other socio-spatial attributes that make them feel more “familiar”. This study argues that with their facilities, amenities and design, and the surrounding land uses, neighborhood parks do not only accommodate, but also define, regulate, and originate social relations among users. Thus, the design and planning of urban public spaces play a role in the emergence and maintenance of supportive and conflictual relations that lead to familiarity. The study answers two research questions: How do the park attributes shape and mediate the interpersonal relations among the park users? How do gender differences influence the parochial realms in parks? Data was collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with 33 female users of two neighborhood parks in a populous district of Izmir (Turkey). Results state that women’s park visits were related to their gendered roles and responsibilities. Yet their responses point to challenges emerging from physical and social attributes of parks and park surroundings which lead to negotiations to protect their individual or group’s privacy (parochial realm) in neighborhood parks. Mainly, perceived threats to women’s parochial realm are men unaccompanied by child(ren), and exposure to the male gaze. The study highlights the importance of investigating these attributes of neighborhood parks for developing research and public policies to improve women’s presence and perceived safety in public settings. © 2023, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Recent Nation Gardens and Historical Development of Public Green Spaces in Turkey(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2020-07-31) Kaştaş Uzun, İpek; Senol, Fatma; Uzun, Ipek KaştaşFocusing on contemporary Turkey's nation gardens and the state and governmental policies to build them, this study investigated the development processes and design features of these public green spaces with respect to those from past eras of Turkey (extending to Ottoman and pre-Ottoman history) and the development of public green spaces as the state's symbolic and spatial tools. The study relied on secondary sources about public green spaces from past eras of Turkey and also on the review of online news about nation gardens initiated after President Erdogan's announcement in May 2018. Our findings suggested that public green spaces in Turkey have played an important role in displaying the state's power nationally and internationally as well as to transfer the state's ideologies to people and thus, to build new identities of 'citizens.' Interestingly, in sharing these intentions of past policies for public green spaces, the recent introduction of nation gardens differs from those in the 19th and 20th century. Without any emphasis on modernization goals in the western-style, recent official talks described nation gardens as a way to raise Turkey and the government's reputation both nationally and internationally, while also referring to past eras but with other characteristics as the source of traditions extending to today.
