A model for evaluating the user satisfaction of human movements on stairs through the ergonomic design approach

Active Design: Architectural Interventions for Improving Occupational Health Through Reducing Sedentary Behavior - A Systematic Review

“…Of the 12 design suggestions that were rated by participants, the cardio indicator, stair numbering, motivational sign, and creative lighting were the four most preferred design suggestions as recorded by participants. Besides, respondents suggested several changes to the engineering and design of staircases; By conducting an experimental study, Arslan and Erkan 32 examine the trade size that provides physical comfort and user satisfaction since ergonomic factors in stair design greatly influence the usability of the stairs. 400 volunteers participated in an experimental study examining the relationship between human body anthropometric dimension, stair dimension (tread width and riser height), and users’ satisfaction.…”

Estimating tread width values for stair design appropriated to people’s comfort and safety needs with adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system

“…In the literature study, experimental studies to increase the comfort and safety features of the stairs come to the fore. 9,28,29,30 In literature, which was intended to determine optimal step sizes, Irvine et al addressed people’s preferences for riser height and tread width. 29 According to the study, step sizes should be designed in accordance with the physical characteristics of people.…”

“…9 Agyefi-Mensah et al states that the optimum stair dimensions can be supported by experimental study findings. 8 At the same time, Sarı, 7 Arslan and Erkan ,30 Sloan, 31 and Pauls 32 believe that experimental research on the physical properties of the human body will provide new data for the improvement of stair design.…”

“…18 Different from current study, Arslan and Erkan stated that physical characteristics of people such as height, leg, knee, calf, thigh, foot /shoe length are factors that can be effective at the level of stair comfort. 30 In this study, which aims to determine the ideal step form, the height value is considered as a determining factor in stair design. According to Duyar 38 and Arslan and Erkan 30 although values such as leg, knee, calf and thigh length can be evaluated in a parallel effect to the height value, it is also important to determine their effects on the stair design as a separate parameter.…”

The step length factor, which is considered among the factors belonging to the stair user, is related to the tread width and the riser height, as can be understood from the traditional step formula.…”
