TÜRKİYE'DEKİ BÜYÜK BEDEN KADIN GİYİMİNDEKİ PROBLEMLERİ BELİRLEMEYE YÖNELİK ANKET ÇALIŞMASI

Obezite Dünya gündemindeki önemli konulardan biridir. Benzer şekilde, Türkiye'de de obezite oranı artış göstermekte ve insanları sağlıktan giyime kadar birçok yönden etkilemektedir. Giyim açısından, obezite oranındaki artışa rağmen, büyük beden giyim pazarı yeterli hizmeti sunamamakta ve kullanıcılar genel alışveriş ortamı, kendilerine uygun bedenlerin olmaması, ürünün tasarımı ve vücuda uygunluğu açısından sorun yaşamaktadırlar. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışmanın temel amacı büyük beden kadın giyiminde karşılaşılan sorunları bir anket aracılığıyla belirlemek, yenilikçi malzemeleri, teknolojileri ve yapım tekniklerine yönelik tasarım yaklaşımlarını ele almaktır. Bu bağlamda, kişiselleştirme araçları, 3 boyutlu vücut tarama teknolojisi, dikişsiz giysi teknolojisi, fonksiyonel giysiler ve akıllı tekstiller araştırılmıştır.

SURVEY STUDY FOR DETECTION OF PROBLEMS IN PLUS-SIZE WOMEN'S CLOTHING IN TURKEY

Obesity is one of the important issues in the World's agenda. Similarly, in Turkey, obesity rate is gradually increasing and affecting people in many ways from health to clothing. In terms of clothing, despite increasing obesity rate, plus-size market has been underserved, and users have dissatisfactions in terms of overall shopping environment, size availability, design and garment fit. Thus, the main aim of this study was to determine the problems in plus-size women's clothing through a survey study and to introduce design approaches considering innovative materials, technologies and construction techniques. In this context, customization tools, 3D body scanning, seamless garment technology, functional clothing and smart textiles were researched.
