    Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based approach to identity the best fit green building certification system for turkey
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Said, Fatma S.
    As one of the most important global issues, the sustainable development goal has been legislated by many countries in order to ensure the compliance of the projects. Thus, ensuring the compliance of projects with the sustainability requirements is considered important for development. In this research, a methodology is introduced based on a strategy to find out the most influential criteria and sub-criteria that shall be considered for the development of a green building certification system for Turkey. The research adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method by identifying the criteria and sub-criteria from the literature, as well as interviewing experts from different background; academicians, consultants and government decision makers. Using criteria and sub-criteria that are considered important according to the green building and sustainability studies, the questionnaire developed by the AHP software (Expert choice 11.5 academic version) is filled by the experts. The final results show that economy (cost) and efficiency are considered the most important criteria for the green building certification system in Turkey, while overall assessment success, registration and certification costs, and adaptability and reliability are the most important sub-criteria. The hypotheses testing show that the current certification systems are unsufficient for Turkey; and also the AHP method is thought to be successful for the assessment of Turkey's green building certification system.

    Defining the architectural and interior identity: A case study on Ghadames Settlement
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Yedder, Rabeea Taib Mohamed
    This research investigates the urban identity and its transformation in the city of Ghadames, Libya. The thesis starts by studying the identity dimensions, which are the physical identity, environmental identity, socio-cultural identity and economic identity. Moreover, the literature provides many elements under each dimension, which are elaborated through the course of this thesis. Furthermore, the case study of Ghadames investigates the identity and its transformation from a theoretical view by applying each of the identity dimensions and its subsidiary elements on the old and new developments of the city. Nonetheless, a gap is identified in the literature about Ghadames's identity especially with regard to the socio-cultural and environmental dimensions, which the research addressed through a field assessment methodology, i.e. inhabitant's questionnaire. The results of the study show that the physical elements were not properly satisfied during the development of the new city in order to maintain the city overall identity. Moreover, out of twenty-one identity elements, it is found that only two elements are compliant with the city's identity, seven elements were incompliant and the rest of the elements are diminishing due to lack of identity empowerment. At the end of the study, recommendations to preserve the identity of Ghadames are summarized.

    University students' preferences for classroom wall colors
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Farhat, Mahmoud E. Husein
    At the present time, all seek to achieve psychological and physical comfort for students at all stages of their education, because most of universities use white color to paint the walls of the classroom. The aim of this study is to analyze the color used in the classroom in terms of preference and other favorite colors of students in the universities, in other words, to understand the usability of the white color within the classrooms. A questionnaire was administered to the student in Çankaya and Atılım universities. The results of the study indicated that the majority of the students do not prefer color used in universities (white) but there are other colors better than it, such as light blue and beige. These colors increase the educational attainment and creativity among students through the positive effects of these colors on the feeling of the students inside the classroom. The study suggests using alternative colors for white to increase student activity and reduce problems caused by colors in the classroom.

    Analysis of vegetated building elements to achieve energy efficiency and improve indoor air quality in buildings
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Almuder, Monder M. Hussaien
    Due to the increasing global demand for energy and the application of nonenvironment friendly building techniques, there is an ever-growing attention to environmental issues. Although many essential benefits of plants, such as absorbing chemical pollutants in air and regulating temperature are well-known, unfortunately they are still not efficiently integrated in building design. This thesis aims to increase the level of awareness regarding the benefits of vegetated building elements and hence, help to increase their application rates in order to achieve sustainable architecture practices by improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality. As to fulfilling these objectives, firstly an in-depth literature review, to provide a comprehensive guide that identifies the types, benefits, and techniques regarding the application of vegetated building elements was done. Moreover, a questionnaire which targeted academicians and professionals related to the field of architecture and construction in several countries was conducted. With this study, the importance of integrating plants in building elements was emphasized and the motivators and challenges for their applications were determined. It was seen that overall, there is reasonable knowledge of the application process, however, there is still the need to increase the level of awareness regarding the benefits of vegetated building elements, throughout communities. The application of vegetated building elements could significantly increase in future developments, if they were supported and adopted by governmental authorities and decision-makers.

    Analyzing the principles of sustainable architecture in vernacular Karaman houses of Northern Cyprus
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Movahendi, Mazdak
    It became evident through the study of vernacular structures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus's (TRNC) Karaman Village, that these structures can serve as a basis for future developments in sustainable architecture, beyond helping to define the general principles of the sustainability in architecture. In a time when the island is looking to expand more structurally, a framework and set of criteria is needed to preserve the vernacular structures already found, but to also improve on the sustainable aspects of these houses. Therefore, the research presented here, through a literature review and in-depth analysis of three different cases studies, outlines the significant qualities of vernacular architecture and shows that these principles can and should be used in today's architectural toolkit in order to create contemporary yet sustainable designs for future buildings and houses in Cyprus. Therefore, this study has assessed the roots of sustainable architecture by analyzing three examples of vernacular structures of the Karaman Village in the TRNC. This is done in order to create a set of principles that will further define sustainable architecture to create a basis for which future designs can be based on iv and be improved on in this region. How vernacular architecture fits into the greater understanding of sustainability is also a byproduct of this study, especially in a way that will assist future designers and builders in understanding the most efficient and sustainable way to transition from traditional housing and building to structures that can be used and improved on in the modern era

    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Avcı, Ayşe Nihan
    Lighting systems in interior architecture need to be designed according to the function of the space, user's comfort and needs. In order to see the environment, besides light and reflecting surfaces, desired lighting levels are required for visual comfort. Desired and comfortable lighting levels increase task efficiency. The aim of this study is to research the effects of illuminance levels on user's visual comfort and reading performance. Therefore, with the participation of eighty participants from the department of Interior Architecture of Çankaya University, six lighting scenarios were created with LED and OLED lighting sources that consisted of three different illuminance levels. A reading task was performed in each lighting scenario. The results indicated that the illuminance level of 500 lux was visually more comfortable than the other illuminance levels. Different illuminance levels were found to be more comfortable for different visual comfort criteria. OLED lighting was found visually more comfortable than LED lighting with respect to the visual comfort criteria. In addition, participants read slower under the illuminance level of 800 lux for each lighting source and it was concluded that illuminance levels effect user's visual comfort and reading performance.

    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2016) Rahigh Aghsan, Amirmasoud
    This research attempts to study different interpretations concerning the life quality of the houses built in three areas of Tabriz, Iran, which was identified the dissatisfaction cause of interior architectural designing at the time of purchase or during the use of house. Studies show that paying attention to the culture and economy of the individuals has direct relation with the issue of satisfaction. In the Ferdous alley of Tabriz we observe more satisfaction than Roshdye town where satisfaction level is more than the Mehr complex of Tabriz. But this isn't an indicator of the resident's satisfaction and a remediable percentage of them would like to have fundamental changes. So it can be said that culture, customs, expectations of house and family economy are main principles of architectural designing. As examined here about the housing in Tabriz, but unfortunately has been less considered main principles of architectural designing. Conducting primary research, prior designing will help more to inhibit the problem to happen.
