Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on an exploratory study of third-year architecture students’ information behaviour. It focusses on information activities, personal experience, resource usage, preferences in working individually or collaboratively, preferences for information resources inspiring creativity and physical spaces to be creative. Design/methodology/approach It was a mixed methods study with a strongly qualitative component and limited descriptive quantitative data. Data were collected in October 2016 at a South African university using individual self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured individual interviews; 19 out of 60 (response rate 32 per cent) third-year architecture students doing a design project participated. Findings Creativity is important in architecture projects, as is information resources in stimulating creativity. Students preferred to work individually during their design projects; at times collaboration was needed for idea generation. Information activities included: information gathering, encountering, use and sharing. A range of theoretical, technical, artistic and practical skills and knowledge must be integrated to produce creative outcomes, in addition, to information searching and information usage. Factual information is also required. Students can benefit from a supportive information rich creative space (physical or virtual). Research limitations/implications The study was conducted at only one institution with a small number of participants. Although generalisation of findings is not possible, issues for further research can be noted. Practical implications Designers of physical and virtual creative spaces must take into account different facets of information behaviour and the information resources and services required during creative information-seeking activities. Originality/value Although there is literature on information behaviour and creativity, the authors could not find any that explores architecture students’ information behaviour in academic spaces of creativity.

Bu makalede, akademik ve sanayide teorik ve uygulamalı birçok konuda değerlendirme amacı ile kullanılan, karşılaştırılan alternatifler arasında yapılan ikili karşılaştırmalara dayalı olarak çalışan analitik hiyerarşi yöntemi(AHY, AHP: Analytical Hierarchy Process) incelenmekte ve yöntemin kullanımı detaylı şekilde açıklanmaktadır. Yöntem, bilgisayar destekli tasarım(BDT) ve 3B modelleme programlarının endüstri tasarımı alanında kullanıma uygunluğunun değerlendirildiği bir alan çalışmasıyla uygulamalı olarak sunulmaktadır. Sonuç bölümünde, çalışmada elde edilen bulgular açıklanmakta, yorumlanmakta ve yöntemin endüstri tasarımı alanına getirebileceği katkılar tartışılmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Analitik hiyerarşi yöntemi, endüstri tasarımı, ürün tasarımı, ikili karşılaştırma, yazılımların değerlendirilmesi.

“…In some cases, the selected items do not have the same importance in the overall process. Indeed, weighting systems have been adopted, often with the support of steering groups of experts and/or thorough Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) [43,44]. Although some critiques emerged regarding the multicriteria methodology with respect to the Social Impact Assessment methods [45], the former is still a valuable and diffuse way to deal with a methodologically systematic and replicable assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors.…”

Hospitals are complex, high-performance systems that demand continuous quality improvement. Several instruments evaluate the organizational or clinical qualities but very few focus on the built environment. The purpose of this paper is to compare and review the recent tools able to assess the hospital built environment and test how they measure health, sustainability, or both through Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE). A literature review has been conducted in the field of hospital quality assessment and 13 POE instruments have been included and analyzed through Ulrich’s Evidence-Based Design (EBD) framework. The percentage and the content of health or sustainability-related criteria have been compared and further discussed. Health related criteria the most recent tools are used three times more than in the tools developed in the nineties. The most used EBD criteria are safety enhancement (n = 131; 14%) and visual environment (n = 119; 13%). Although sustainability remains a relevant issue, today, growing attention is dedicated to the impact of built environment on occupant’s health. Further investigation is needed to understand the effectiveness of those instruments in practice.
