Mutfak tasarımında modüler sistemlerin kullanıcı ergonomisi açısından değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Architects, in the artificial environment constituted towards users requirements, take advantage of ergonomics to carry out the actions efficiently and to obtain the maximum performance with minimum energy. Due to fulfil the most fundamental need of people, dwelling as the part of artificial environment constituted by architects is issue for many studies. Kitchen in the dwelling takes place in these studies. Design of kitchen is a field required to make use of the ergonomics since it includes many fields for actions. In technical literature many different resources exist for cuisine as a place and equipment for cuisine, however the resources for the relation between modular cuisine and ergonomics are limited. The aim of the thesis named "The Evaluation of Modular System in terms of Ergonomics in Kitchen Design" is to introduce modulus related to cuisine, to survey defined cuisine modulus in terms of ergonomics and to put forward the users' contentment inspected in modular systems. A congregate housing is selected within the scope of survey and the level of users' contentment is tried to be determined in that selected congregate housing. While determining the criteria of level of contentment, ergonomics is used. A questionnaire which the users can evaluate their cuisines, is presented. According to the acquired consequences, the cuisines presented as a prototype in congregate housing are seen as moderate in terms of the level of users' contentment and do not apply to the user profile at all. In conclusion intended and individual designs are iv suggested to be presented to increase the level of users' contentment. Key Words: Kitchen, Modular Systems, Ergonomy of Kitchen
