Design of Small Underwater Houses

2025-05-17T16:23:56+00:00

This study addresses the concept of small underwater houses as a sustainable architectural innovation that aims to respond to urbanization needs and provide solutions to environmental challenges caused by climate change and rapid population growth. The research thoroughly examines the fundamental techniques used in underwater construction, including caisson structures, immersed tunnels, and temporary dam systems; challenges such as high water pressure, corrosion, and high costs encountered in these processes are analyzed comprehensively. Additionally, the study investigates the durability and eco-friendly properties of innovative materials used in underwater structures. As part of the research, successful examples such as Sentosa World Resort, Atlantis Sanya, and Muraka are analyzed, highlighting their contributions to environmental sustainability and their architectural and aesthetic potential in revitalizing the tourism sector. Furthermore, the economic benefits provided by these structures to local communities and their contributions to marine resource conservation are discussed. The research findings reveal that small underwater houses not only offer a lifestyle in harmony with nature but also provide an innovative vision for preserving marine ecosystems and promoting sustainable development. In this context, underwater architecture is evaluated as a pioneering approach capable of offering environmental, economic, and social benefits for future generations.

Spatial Perception in Digital Experience Museums And Exhibitions: A User-Centered Analysis

2025-09-01T11:28:52+00:00

The current study examines spatial perception in digital experience museums and exhibitions from the user's perspective. The analyses conducted on the cases, "Ephesus Experience Museum," "IMM Digital Experience Museum," and "Kandinsky: Journey of the Blue Rider Digital Exhibition", address the sensory factors that influence the perception of space through a holistic approach. Evaluations on color, light, texture and material, form and shape, scale and proportion, temperature, sound, and smell demonstrate that digital exhibitions, unlike traditional museum spaces, offer a multisensory experience. The findings reveal that digital projections, holograms, and interactive technologies redefine spatial boundaries, creating an immersive experience where visual, auditory, and cognitive stimuli converge. Digital experience spaces transform visitors from passive spectators into active participants, shaping spatial perception on individual, cultural, and sensory levels. Consequently, digital museums/exhibitions are considered aesthetic tools for transmitting contemporary art and cultural heritage and user-oriented perceptual experience environments. This study highlights the innovations brought by digitalization to the spatial perception dimension of museology and exhibition design, contributing to future research in the field.

Violence Against Women In The Family: A Field Research On Women Migrating To Isparta

2025-04-07T11:40:42+00:00

In ancient and modern times, women have shed light on their times in every field. There, she was a sultan, a judge, a poet, an artist, a writer, a lawyer, a warrior, and one of the narrators of the prophetic hadiths. Also, until now, women still work and contribute with all their energy to the maintenance of their homes and family members. They are wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters, and this is what makes the role women play in building society important. It is a role that cannot be ignored or underestimated. Through our research that addresses the issue of violence against women within the family between the socialization process and male authority, we see that the phenomenon of violence against women is one of the phenomena that has historical, cultural and social dimensions. It is not limited to time and space. It is not related to the nature of society, whether conservative, western or eastern, but to the existence of man and the mutual relations between men and women within the family. I applied this research to ten immigrant women who were abused in Isparta province of Turkey and used the case study approach using qualitative research. I used interview and observation tools as methods. Then I analyzed these cases and obtained results that were suitable for the purpose of the research.

A Study on The Potential Value of Industry Collaboration in Interıor Design Education

2025-12-18T11:32:45+00:00

The contemporary education process that emerged during the Republican Era aims to provide equal educational rights and conditions to all individuals defined as students. In order for this permanent education model not to remain merely theoretical, practice-oriented learning methods—particularly on-site and firsthand learning—have been developed, especially in fields that directly affect human life and living standards.
In interior architecture education, this approach is sustained through a combination of theoretical courses and practical components such as internships, workshops, fairs, and seminars, enabling students to adapt more easily to professional life after graduation. It is essential for students to engage with industry leaders, observe all stages of the design process, and follow production at various scales. Beyond these experiences, establishing early communication among producers, designers, and commercial stakeholders is crucial in helping students position themselves within the market.
Within this framework, the study on university–industry collaboration aims to identify existing shortcomings and propose solutions, providing a foundation for future collaborations in this field.

Determination Of User Activities in Urban Parks with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Case Study of Isparta Kule Park

2025-07-04T06:10:32+00:00

In this study, the user behaviors of Kule Park in Hızırbey Neighborhood of Isparta city center were observed in detail through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. Based on the age, gender and physical movement patterns of the participants, the activities they perform, the spaces they use and their time-spending habits were analyzed. In the light of the data obtained, elements such as user density, spatial distribution, accessibility level and mobility patterns were evaluated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) supported analysis. This approach provides more comprehensive, systematic and objective results compared to traditional observation methods. The research contributes to the development of user-oriented spatial designs, effective management of parks and intervention strategies that encourage physical activity. In addition, the integration of UAV technology into the discipline of landscape architecture accelerates the process of digital transformation in professional practices and provides a valuable model in scientific and practical terms.
