    Effects on Turkish and Libyan kitchen design with reference to cultural food preparation habits
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Ammari, Abdulbaset Mohamed Faraj
    The kitchen has undergone a dramatic evolution of social change in human history, evolving from enclave to a symbol of isolation; from the original fireplace as the only space for living activity to the modern, rational kitchen where women were isolated. However, today's kitchens have evolved to fit the needs of each family member and thus include a variety of functions. However, today's kitchens have evolved to the point where they accommodate every family member and therefore include multiple functions. This thesis aims to understand the dynamics beneath the evolution of kitchen; referring to cultural in two different countries (Turkey, Libya), in order to find out the problems found in using the kitchens so that better designs may be suggested. The literature shows that a kitchen is an important part in a home, which is a busy area, thus demanding a lot of attention in order to be able to get the needed design requirements. While the findings of the thesis are based on the contemporary urban life, it is not known what the future will hold; so suggestions are made to benefit contemporary needs. The case is the interaction between the household, the kitchen design, and the activities in the kitchen. Interviews have been conducted with household members in the studied cases, as well as with key informants. The main areas of study have been the way food is prepared, cooked and stored in the kitchen, and how these activities take place in a mixed situation of tradition and modernity. People have to negotiate and reinterpret spaces in their kitchens and around them in order to meet their needs. Some of the most important outcomes from this research is not to let modernity be disruptive but rather to allow the change from tradition be gradual. The thesis endeavors to blend the two phenomena of tradition and modernity so as to create a balance in design and end with better functioning kitchens.

    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.

    Comparative analysis of ottoman palaces in palestine and Turkey with emphasis on ornamentation
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Ahmeida, Gebril Farag
    Ornamentations are a significant part of architecture as it provides information about the structure, its builders and its users. In this research, a review of the ornamentation development in the Eastern Mediterranean region from the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Islamic periods is performed, in addition to the specific types of ornamentations in Palestine and Turkey are researched in detail. In order to perform the analysis, a review of symbolism and ornament classification concepts is carried out. Moreover, ornamentations in the Eastern Mediterranean region are rich with affiliations from different civilizations, cultures and communities. Therefore, it is evident from the study that the ornamentations in Palestine and Turkey have been mainly influenced by similar cultural backgrounds, while preserving each country's nature and community. Cases are selected from Turkey and Palestine in which ornamentations are used in four palaces; TopkapiPalace (Istanbul, Turkey), Nemr Palace, Albdulhadi Palace and Toukan Palace (Nablus, Palestine). The results of the analysis show that the styles, classes, types, geometry, and affiliations of ornamentations in both countries have several similarities, while the main differences are found in color, complexity and the impact of the social status.

    User preferences regarding interior vertical gardens
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) El-Angudi, Ghada M. Mohamed
    Landscaping is added to the architectural design of a structure in order to increase its unity with nature, integration with the environment, and create intimate eternal concepts. Therefore, concepts such as vertical gardens and living walls were used since the ancient history in order to add a natural aesthetic effect, as well as providing positive vibe to the external and internal spaces. In this research, the usage and impacts of the vertical garden concepts are examined through a theoretical review of the literature, where many aesthetic, psychological and physiological effects are found. Increasing property value, reducing stress, enhancing indoor air quality and beautifying dull walls, are some of many added values by the vertical gardens. Moreover, the case study of this research evaluated the effects of interior vertical gardens on space users through developing three dimensional computerized models based on an actual space for assessment using environmental appraisal methodologies. The results of the study show that the model with the vertical garden design has a more positive effect on space users, which is significantly different from the model without the vertical garden. Furthermore, using Spearman's rho correlation factors, weak to medium correlations are established between vertical garden perception and gender, age, occupation, cultural background, and space familiarity. In conclusion, there are several positive effects of integrating the vertical garden to the interior space that would encourage architects to integrate them into their designs.

    Effect of daylight on students' behavior in libraries
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Elibiadi, Mohammed S. R.
    Natural lighting is one of the most tried concepts in architecture due to the several psychological and physiological benefits of its utilization on space occupants. Therefore, several studies have shown its positive impacts and superiority to artificial lighting. Moreover, using natural lighting allow owners and facility managers to save up to 40% of the energy used in their buildings. In this research, the perception and impacts of natural lighting is assessed at the library of Çankaya university in Ankara, Turkey. The library has a skylight that allows natural lighting to enter the library during day hours. Through a review of the literature, lighting perception indicators and illuminance measurement techniques are compiled in order to perform a subjective and objective measurement of the lighting in the case space. The library is divided by the researcher into four main zones; A, B, C and D. The findings of the objective illuminance measurement show that cloudy weather reduces the illuminance in the library by 23.1%, while several inadequate illuminances were found in many cases especially in zones A and D. The subjective perception by 120 library users distributed throughout different day periods shows that the lighting perception indicators differed between the different zones. At the end of the study, correlation testing between the subjective perceptions and objective illuminance measurements was performed, which indicated a weak to medium correlation between the two variables.

    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.
