“…Earlier studies (Groat, 1994;Stamps, 1999;Fawcett and Ellingham et al, 2008) have returned mixed findings in this area of enquiry. For example, Stamps found that the views of architects and the public were aligned in some respects, but when architectural stimuli tended towards the unusual or avant-garde, differences in preference would arise.…”

“…Are there really fundamental differences between experts and non-experts in the way they view and judge the everyday environments around them? If so, and this has been suggested in earlier studies (see for example Groat, 1994;Stamps, 1999;Fawcett and Ellingham et al, 2008), then expert-led design review processes must be called into question. What are the chances that change will lead to places that are well liked if the views of the vast majority of people are not represented?…”

Visual qualities of well-liked settings are known to include richness and variety, tempered by perceptible underlying structure and clear associational meanings. For a variety of reasons -among them, technological, economic and professional principles -the design coherence of the built environment appears to have diminished in the wake of Modernism. However, opinions about the quality of the built environment are usually voiced by experts. Does it follow that their opinions are also those of lay people? Indeed, looking beyond academic critique of the appearance of the built environment, what are the views and aesthetic preferences of those who use the city? The article reports on the results of recent research that has evaluated perceptions of and preferences for a range of different urban street scenes. The opinions of the lay public as well as design and planning professionals have been collected for comparison. The research seeks to understand whether there are built-form characteristics, seen across a collection of buildings that make up a street edge, that are preferred over others. Based on data from 200 survey responses and a focus group discussion, the findings identify characteristics that are deemed to foster well-liked urban settings as well as those that should be avoided.

“…Research on environmental attitudes and behavior has tended to focus on comparing one group's perspective or priorities with another or trying to ascertain the mechanisms by which such attitudes and behavior might be influenced or changed in a particular direction. Groups may be classified and differentiated according to the particular roles they occupy in relation to an environmental issue such as architecture (Groat, 1994;Hubbard, 1994), risk perception (Mertz, Slovic, & Purchase, 1998;Slovic, 1987), or recreation (Nord, Luloff, & Bridger, 1998). The properties of the environment are of little interest, as the focus of attention is on the effect that the social role has on attitudes and behavior.…”

In the study reported in this paper the role of social cohesion, residential satisfaction and place identification are examined for their effect on place-related social identity and its consequential impact on attitudes to environmental sustainability. Two neighbourhoods in Guildford, Surrey, England were selected on the basis of their social histories, housing types and socio-economic composition. Ninety residents in each neighbourhood were sampled. Research methods included cognitive mapping and a questionnaire survey. A structural equation model was used to analyse the co-variances between the different factors. The results show clear differences between both neighbourhoods in terms of residential satisfaction, with only some differences in terms of identification and social cohesion and sustainability. Conclusions drawn which suggest an important relationship between identity and sustainability behaviour which is suggestive for future research.

“…Eğitim yapılarındaki mekanlar göz önüne alındığında dersliklerin sakinleştirici, dikkat arttırıcı; faaliyet sınıflarının, teşvik edici; idari mekanların, resmi; koridorların ise hareketlendirici ve sirküle edici olması beklenir. İç mekan renklerinin kullanıcılar üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesine yönelik yapılan deneysel çalışmalar, kullanıcıların mekanlardaki deneyim ve tercihlerinin mekanların algılanmasında ve değerlendirilmesinde etkili olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır (Rasmussen, 1962;Groat, 1994;Gifford, Hine, Muller-Clemm, Reynolds ve Shaw, 2000;Gifford, Hine, Muller-Clemm ve Shaw, 2002;Çubuk, 2006;Hidayetoglu, Yıldırım ve Çağatay, 2010;Yıldırım, Çağatay ve Ayalp, 2014;Yıldırım ve diğerleri, 2012). Rasmussen (1962), uzun ve dar bir koridorun olumsuz etkisinin iki uçtaki duvarların sıcak, yan duvarların ise soğuk renklere boyanarak azaltılabileceğini ileri sürmüştür.…”

ÖZ: Bu araştırmada, okul koridorlarının iç mekânında kullanılan farklı renklerin (krem, mavi ve yeşil) öğrencilerin algısal performansı üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu maksatla, Ankara'da bulunan İncirli Teknik ve Endüstri Meslek Lisesi koridorları araştırma ortamı olarak seçilmiştir. Öğrencilerin üç farklı renge sahip koridorları 11 sıfat çiftinden oluşan anlamsal farklılaşma ölçeği ile değerlendirmeleri sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiş ve önemli sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Buna göre, farklı renklerin kullanıldığı koridorlardan; krem renkli mekânın mavi ve yeşil renkli mekâna oranla daha pozitif algılandığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, okula yeni başlayan öğrencilerin üst sınıflarda okuyan öğrencilere oranla mekân algılamalarında daha olumlu yaklaşıma sahip oldukları görülmektedir. Elde edilen verilerin, eğitim yapılarının, öğrencileri tarafından algılanan mekânsal imajının pekiştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı ve okulları ile ilgili memnuniyetlerinin arttırılmasında kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir. Anahtar sözcükler: eğitim yapıları, koridorlar, mekânsal algı, renk, ışık ABSTRACT: In this research, the effects of different colors (cream, blue and green) used in interior space of school corridors on perceptual performances of students were tried to be determined. For this purpose, the corridors of İncirli Technical and Industry Vocational High School in Ankara was selected as the research environment. Students were requested to evaluate the corridors with three different colors by means of using semantic differentiation scale consisting of 11 adjective pairs. Gained data were statistically evaluated and important results were reached. As a result of this study it was determined that cream colored space is perceived more positively in corridors used different colors compared to blue and green colored space. Also it is seen that beginner students have more positive approaches in their space perceptions compared to students studying in upper classes. According to the data obtained, it is considered that education building will have contributions to strengthen the spatial image perceived by students and may be used to increase the satisfaction of students about their schools. Keywords: education buildings, corridors, spatial perceptions, color, light GİRİŞİnsanlar yaşadıkları çevreyi kendi istek ve gereksinimleri doğrultusunda şekillendirdiği kadar, bu yaratılan çevreler de insanların davranış ve algılamalarını etkilemektedir (Sommer, 1969). Mimari mekânların çekiciliği, ferahlığı ve hoşluğu üzerine yapılan araştırmaların bir kısmı çevresel faktörlerin kullanıcıların algı-davranışsal performansı üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanmıştır (Arthur ve Passini, 1992;Corbusier, 1929;Lawton, 1994;Passini, 1984; Peponis, Zimring, ve Cho, 1990;Sanoff, 1991;Sommer, 1969;Yoo, 1991). İç mekânın özelliklerini belirleyen çevresel faktörler; mekan kalitesini etkileyen en önemli unsurlardır. Ancak çevresel veriler ve bu verilerin algılanması çok geniş bir alanı kapsamaktadır.
