ÇANKAYA ÜNİVERSİTESİ KAFETERYASINI KULLANAN PERSONELİN OTURMA TERCİHLERİ

Mekân tasarımında kullanıcı tercihlerinin bilinmesi; işleve uygun, kullanıcı konfor koşullarını sağlayan ve kaliteli tasarıma sahip mekânların yaratılmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Kafeterya kullanıcılarının oturma alanı tercihlerinin analiz edilmesi, iyi tasarlamış bir kafeteryanın yoluna başarılı bir ticari işletme olarak devam etmesini sağlayacaktır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, kullanıcıların oturmak için kafeteryada hangi alanları tercih ettikleri ve bu tercihlerinin yaş, cinsiyet ve meslek gibi faktörlerden nasıl etkilendiğinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırma verileri; Çankaya Üniversitesi'nin kafeterya alanının krokisinin çizilmesi suretiyle fiziksel mekân analizi, gözlem ve görüşme yöntemleri kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Veriler, Çankaya Üniversitesi personeli arasından rastgele seçilmiş 65 kafeterya kullanıcısı ile yapılan görüşme ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, kullanıcıların oturma alanı tercihleri üzerinde gün ışığını daha fazla alan ve manzaraya sahip olan pencere önündeki mekânların etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Literatürün aksine araştırma verileri kullanıcıların yaşlarının, cinsiyetlerinin ve mesleklerinin oturma tercihlerini etkilemediğini göstermektedir

SEATING PREFERENCES OF THE STAFF THAT USES ÇANKAYA UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA

To know the users’ preference makes it possible to design functional, comfortable and high quality spaces. The analysis of seating preferences of the cafeteria users will enable a well-designed cafeteria to continue as a successful commercial enterprise. The aim of the research is to find out which places are preferred by users in a cafeteria and how their preferences are determined by age, gender and profession factors. The research data was obtained by physical space analysis, observation and interview method after having drawn the sketch of cafeteria space. Data was collected by an interview with 65 users randomly chosen from Çankaya University staff. The result of the research reveals that the seating preferences are influenced by spaces near windows with broad daylight and outdoor view. Contrary to the literature, user's age, gender and profession do not effect their seating preferences
