Abstract

As a research topic of several disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and especially architecture, wayfinding is always on the agenda and is open to research. In this paper, the relationships between the wayfinding decisions of the users in hospitals and the layout of the hospitals were examined on inexperienced users. Hospitals, which are places where people frequently visit and compete over time to gain their health during their visits, are public spaces with the highest circulation of users during the day. For this reason, hospitals were preferred as research areas. Factors affecting the spatial perception of the users during wayfinding were tested in the real space scene. The relationship between wayfinding decisions of users and the layout of the hospital was analyzed by VGA over GoPro camera according to the selected routes. The wayfinding behavior analysis of the users was conducted with the GoPro camera. In addition, the VGA of the plans consisting of routes was performed with Depthmap software. Finally, the numerical data obtained from both analyzes were interpreted using the SPSS 24 statistical package and appropriate digital analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the layout of a hospital is effective in the wayfinding decisions of the users due to several spatial variables, and the layout and the wayfinding behavior are closely related.

Özet

Son yıllarda başta mimarlığın olmak üzere psikoloji, sosyoloji gibi bir çok disiplinin de araştırma konusu olan yön bulma, araştırılmaya açıkgündemde olan bir konudur. Bu çalışmada hastanelerde kullanıcıların yön bulma kararları ile hastanelerin plan şemaları arasındaki ilişki dene yimsiz kullanıcılar üzerinde incelenmiştir. Insanların sıkça ziyaret ettiği ve ziyaret ederken sağlığına kavuşmak için zamanla yarıştığı mekanlarolan hastaneler, gün içersinde en fazla kullanıcı sirkülasyonuna sahip kamusal mekanlardır. Bu yüzden araştırma alanı olarak hastane mekânıtercih edilmiştir. Kullanıcıların yönlerini bulurken mekansal algılarını etkileyen faktörler gerçek mekân sahnesinde test edildi. Kullanıcıların yönbulma kararları ile hastanenin plan şeması arasında ilişki seçilen rotalar üzerinden GoPro kamera aracılığı ve VGA ile incelendi. GoPro kameraaracılığıyla kullanıcıların yön bulma davranış analizi, Depthmap yazılımı aracılığıyla da rotaların yer aldığı planların VGA gerçekleştirildi. Sonolarak her iki analizden elde edilen sayısal veriler uygun sayısal çözümlemelerle SPSS 24 istatistik paketiyle yorumlanmıştır. Analizler neticesindekullanıcıların yön bulma kararlarında hastanenin plan şemasının birçok mekansal değişkene bağlı olarak etkili olduğu ve yön bulma davranışıile plan şemasının yüksek ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir
