    An Integrated Framework on Soundscape Perception and Spatial Experience by Adapting Post-Occupancy Evaluation Methodology
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Aburawis, Ayad A. Mohamed; Yorukoglu, Papatya Nur Dokmeci
    The effecting factors of soundscape perception and space experience have a very close relationship. This study aims to synthesize the diversity of soundscape classifications and schemes and unify such factorial variations in order to develop an integrated framework for soundscape perception and spatial experience within a systematic review of recent progress and by adapting post-occupancy evaluation methodology. First, factors under soundscape perception and space experience are reviewed in detail and merged to form conceptual classification models. Six soundscape perception factors are formed as (1) sonic, (2) spatial, (3) temporal, (4) psychological, (5) behavioural and (6) personal. Similarly, five space experience factors are formed as (1) user, (2) usage, (3) architectural design, (4) social context and (5) physical environment. All related items in the literature are presented and the sub-items under each factor are exemplified. Second, factors under the merged conceptual models are integrated by considering occupants' experience of space regarding their variance in perception of soundscapes through acoustical post-occupancy evaluation. An adapted study design is proposed under indicative, investigative and diagnostic stages of the post-occupancy evaluation by presenting the methods, data types and factorial correlations for each stage.

    Soundscape Assessment: Towards a Validated Translation of Perceptual Attributes in Different Languages
    (Korean Society of Noise and Vibration Engineering, 2020) Aletta, F.; Oberman, T.; Axelsson, Ö.; Xie, H.; Zhang, Y.; Lau, S.-K.; Kang, J.; 214925
    The recently published ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 standard aims to provide researchers and practitioners around the world with a reliable questionnaire for soundscape characterization. The ISO Technical Specifications report protocols and attributes grounded in the soundscape literature, but only includes an English version. The applicability and reliability of these attributes in non-English speaking regions remains an open question, as research investigating translations of soundscape attributes is limited. To address this gap, an international collaboration was initiated with soundscape researchers from all over the world. Translation into 15 different languages, obtained through focus groups and panels of experts in soundscape studies, are proposed. The main challenges and outcomes of this preliminary exercise are discussed. The long-term objective is to validate the proposed translations using standardized listening experiments in different languages and geographical regions as a way to promote a widespread use of the soundscape attributes, both in academia and practice, across locations, populations and languages. © Proceedings of 2020 International Congress on Noise Control Engineering, INTER-NOISE 2020.

    Room Acoustics Education in Interior Architecture Programs: a Course Structure Proposal
    (SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ACUSTICA - Spanish Acoustical Society, SEA, 2019) Kitapcı, Kıvanç; Kitapci, K.; 275153; İç Mimarlık
    Soundscape research alters the notion of room acoustics from a physical phenomenon to a new multidisciplinary approach that concerns human perception of the acoustic environment, in addition to the physical calculations and measurements. Many interior architecture programs include courses that specifically focus on room acoustics. Although a brief introduction to the technical aspects of room acoustics is considered mandatory, the current course structure does not deliver sufficient information on the human perception of the acoustic environment. Therefore, the aim of the study is to reconsider the structure of room acoustic courses and present a brand-new room acoustics course structure proposal for the interior architecture programs. The study consists of two main phases. In the first phase, a database of all courses that include various topics on room acoustics is prepared through examination of the course descriptions of all undergraduate and graduate interior architecture programs in Turkey. In the second phase, the revisions to the current state of the room acoustics course structures are advised through an in-depth systematic literature review on the research area of soundscapes. Preliminary results and the initial course structure model will be presented at the conference. © INTER-NOISE 2019 MADRID - 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering.

    An Investigation of Sound Sources in Smart Houses for Improved Machine-To Communication
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Kitapcı, Kıvanç; Alkan, A.; Yorukoglu, P.N.D.; Kitapci, K.; 214925; İç Mimarlık
    This study aims to investigate the ever-evolving indoor soundscapes of smart houses by classification of the sounds emitted from smart devices. Nowadays, communication is no longer limited to person-to-person. Smart devices frequently communicate with users by verbal or tonal notifications. Therefore, acoustic characteristics of smart houses, especially reverberation time and background noise levels, have increased importance in achieving improved and lossless signal transfer and speech intelligibility. It is hypothesized that most houses are unsuitable for effective tonal and verbal communication with smart devices regarding acoustical conditions. Within the scope of the study, the devices found in the smart technology market were investigated. The sounds emitted from the identified devices were then classified according to their communicative nature (verbal/tonal), designability, customizability, and cause (i.e., intentional or consequential). The acoustic requirements for effective communication with the individual smart devices were analyzed in addition to the resulting holistic indoor soundscape of the smart houses The results of the study will help architects, interior architects, and other environmental designers to improve the quality of communication while guiding future research to understand indoor soundscapes of smart houses. © 2023 First author et al.

    A Taxonomy of Indoor Acoustic Environments and Sound Source Preference in Shopping Centres
    (Korean Society of Noise and Vibration Engineering, 2020) Yörükoğlu, Papatya Nur; Erçakmak, U.B.; Dökmeci Yörükoglu, P.N.; 214925; İç Mimarlık
    As part of soundscape research, sound source classification and taxonomy studies play an important role in relation with contextual experience and user perception. Although, outdoor acoustic environments have been studied in detail, published and standardized in the literature, taxonomy studies on indoor acoustic environments are still at its preliminary phase and should be progressed. This study concentrates on shopping centre indoor acoustic environments and presents a preliminary proposal on the indoor sound source taxonomy of such indoor public spaces. The presented taxonomy and the structured classification of the sound sources lead to the preparation of a structured surveying protocol. Thereby, the sound source preference in the case shopping centre has been studied through this structured indoor soundscape preference assessment questionnaire, which is applied to 19 participants. The indoor sound source taxonomy lead to the identification of the sound sources to be included in the structured preference assessment questionnaire. 23 sound sources and the overall sound environment have been assessed through a bi-polar 6-point forced-choice rating scale. The results of the questionnaire have led to the identification of the most and least preferred sound sources in shopping centres, which can act as key elements in the design phase of such public enclosed environments. © Proceedings of 2020 International Congress on Noise Control Engineering, INTER-NOISE 2020.

    Spatial Design Outcomes of Indoor Soundscaping Course as Part of Interior Architecture Education
    (The Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA, Inc., 2022) Yörükoğlu, Papatya Nur; Yörükoğlu, P.N.D.; 214925; İç Mimarlık
    Indoor soundscaping is a multi-disciplinary field that integrates, sound, user experience, and architecture. At its core, it has the potential to redefine any enclosed acoustic environment. Listening to spaces should be an active act of an interior architect; an awareness that should be gained during the early years of interior architecture undergraduate education. The elective course with the same name, 'Listening to Spaces' has been offered to interior architecture students since 2015 at Çankaya University, Ankara, Turkey under the Department of Interior Architecture, with the aim of implementing an important additional topic specific course to the present education curriculum of the Department as the course combines architectural, spatial and functional analysis methods from an acoustical perspective, in order to raise awareness on conscious listening of spaces with different functions. The course is conducted through interactive learning bases and the orientation is more research-based than teaching-based, although basic acoustical and soundscape theoretical knowledge is given. Students are expected to accomplish 6 tasks progressively following the cognitive process dimensions parallel to Bloom's taxonomy. The outcomes of the tasks and the final spatial design proposals has been evaluated and discussed as part of this study to highlight the importance of topic specific course integration to architectural design education. © 2022 Internoise 2022 - 51st International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering.

    Conceptual Framework for a Decision-Making Model Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp) To Select the Best Public Private Partnership (Ppp) Model for Airports
    (New Zealand Acad Applied Research Ltd, 2017) Mohammed, Ali Omar; Harputlugil, Timuçin; Harputlugil, Timucin; 40295; Mimarlık
    The adoption of public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a strategy for infrastructure projects, such as airports, highways, bridges, water supplies, and telecommunication, has been implemented in developed and developing countries with a number of obstacles. Based on this stance, critical success factors (CSFs) of public-private partnership projects and the selection of appropriate PPP models are critical issues that need to be analyzed. A multidisciplinary review of the literature on the critical success factors of public-private partnerships projects reveals the lack of a comprehensive decision-making model for selecting an appropriate PPP model. This paper presents a conceptual framework for a decision-making model to select the best PPP model considering CSFs for developing countries. The model is expected to be used for infrastructure projects, mostly for airports. The decision-making model is structured on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and sensitivity analysis. The decisionmaking model is expected to be adopted as a tool and contribute to decision makers for selecting the best fit PPP model for airports in order to enhance projects successfully.

    Impact of Complexity on Perceived Affective Quality and Perceived Restorativeness in Indoor Soundscapes
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Acun, V.; Aksel, Elif; Aksel, E.; İç Mimarlık
    Eventfulness and pleasantness are two prominent components of soundscape perception, and their interplay creates attributes that are used to measure the perceived affective quality of soundscapes. Even though restorativeness is not among the principal components of soundscape perception, it is involved with soundscapes' perceived affective quality attributes. While the contribution of these attributes is well established, there is still a lack of understanding regarding how soundscape complexity impacts perceived restorativeness and perceived affective quality. There are tools, such as the Acoustic Complexity Index, to measure the complexity of natural soundscapes but soundscapes of the built environment lack such an index. This study aims (1) to understand the relationship between complexity, perceived affective quality and perceived restorativeness and (2) to explore and compare the effectiveness of different means of measuring acoustical complexity. With this regard, we conducted an online questionnaire survey which consisted of twenty soundscape recordings. We asked the participants to evaluate the perceived affective quality and perceived restorativeness of each recording. We then calculated the acoustic complexity indices, Acoustic complexity, Acoustic Diversity, Acoustic Evenness, and Normalized Differences Soundscape Index. Finally, we conducted a series of statistical analyses to explore the relationships between each variable. © 2023 Acun et al.

    Investigating the Restorative Potential of Women's Home Environments
    (Springer, 2023) Imamoglu, Cagri; Aksel, Elif
    Although research on restorative environments suggest that natural settings have therapeutic effects in moderating stress and promoting positive experiences, there is a limited body of literature inquiring about the therapeutic potential of interior environments. The aim of the current study was to understand the restorative potential of home environments regarding theoretical background on restorative environments and architectural dimensions influencing well-being through the experiences of women. We interviewed 11 adult women using the photo-elicitation technique to investigate the perceived restorativeness of their home environments. Thematic analysis of qualitative data indicated that the design attributes of spaces play a significant role in promoting the restoration process. In addition to design attributes, we found family interaction, socialising, and engaging in activities could also be influential. Furthermore, the exploratory nature of the research highlighted the significance of individual meanings and personal factors in shaping the perceived restorativeness of home environments. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed to encourage future research in related fields that explore the relationship between residential settings and well-being.

    Indoor Soundscapes of the Future: Listening To Smart Houses
    (wiley, 2023) Alkan, A.L.; Yörükoğlu, P.N.D.; Kitapci, K.; 214925
    The acoustic environment of smart houses impacts the overall quality of life and wellbeing of occupants. A well-designed acoustic environment can promote relaxation, while excessive noise or distractions can negatively impact wellbeing. It is crucial to consider sound’s role in smart house design. Smart houses have built-in virtual assistants that respond to voice commands, perform various tasks, and verbally respond to such commands. This machine-to-human-to-machine verbal interaction requires high speech intelligibility (i.e., low reverberation time and high signal-to-noise ratio) in smart houses, which is not required for traditional homes. The open floor plan and multi-purpose rooms in smart houses can create challenges for sound management. This can be addressed by creating separate zones for different activities or using room dividers that help to direct and absorb sound. The design of smart houses includes the placement of speakers and other audio devices to optimize sound quality and distribution. Speakers are installed in the ceiling or walls to create a more immersive and balanced listening experience. The placement of microphones and other sensors should also be optimized for smart houses. Microphones should be placed where sound is most likely heard or where it best captures voice commands. Integrating multiple audio sources and devices creates challenges in managing and organizing sound in a smart house. Designers should consider configuring smart devices and ensuring that different devices are compatible and functioning properly. © 2024 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

    DESIGN AND COUNTER DESIGN AGAINST CONSUMPTION: 1972 “ITALY, THE NEW DOMESTIC LANDSCAPE” EXHIBITION (1)
    (2023) Boysan, Aysu; Tunca, Gülru Mutlu; 17487
    In Western Europe, the 1960s and 1970s covered the radical criticism of some European designers against mass production and consumption. Several Italian Radical designers raised the most compelling objection at an exhibition on the other side of the ocean: “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” (INDL), curated by Emilio Ambasz in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1972. INDL marked a significant moment in contemporary design history. For the show, Ambasz selected more than a hundred “objects” produced by Italian manufacturers and displayed them in specially designed cases in the garden area. Moreover, he invited eleven Italian designers to create unique “microenvironments” by interpreting concepts assigned by a “special design program,” such as environmental psychology, locality, urbanism, micro and macro-scale housing, consumerism, and mass production. Although the “objects” displayed in the garden were of great importance - since the event was one of the first instances of Italian design’s introduction to the American public-this study concentrates on the contradicting responses of Italian designers, under headings “design and counterdesign as postulation” for understanding the design philosophy behind the appearance of “design versus non-design” dialectics of that era, which is still a recognized topic in contemporary architectural theory. This study, therefore, analyzes the eclectic and postmodern approaches of six Italian designers in the “design” category and the provocative denials of Radical designers presented under the “counterdesign” category. It aims to understand better the impact of this discursive opposition made visible by the exhibition on the anticonsumerist approaches and the search for alternative methodologies, which subsequently increased among designers.

    Assessment of Daylighting in a Historical Educational Building: Ankara University Faculty of Science Analytical Chemistry Laboratory
    (Znack Publishing House, 2023) Avci, Ayse Nihan; 237970
    The conditions of Ottoman architecture persisted during the republican period at the turn of the 20th century. Later, radical changes in the structure of the state affected the field of architecture, and changes in the world were reflected in our country. The structures that are the subject of architectural debates are typically early republican period buildings, which were built between 1920s and 1950s. On the other hand, in past buildings, the interior de-sign criteria that are important for the user in interior design have been the subject of interest in various disciplines. Lighting - daylighting and electric lighting - in different interiors is one of the design criteria that has intrigued many researchers. Laboratories, classrooms, studios, circulation areas, administrative spaces, offices, conference rooms, and wet spaces are all common features of educational buildings. Each of these spaces has unique lighting requirements. The aim of this study is to assess the daylighting performance in the interior and encourage similar studies in historical educational buildings rather than the architectural design of these buildings. Daylighting performance was assessed in the analytical chemistry laboratory at the Ankara University Faculty of Science, block A, which was built during the Second National Architectural Movement and bears the traces of Sedad Hakki El-dem, Emin Onat, and Paul Bonatz. A morning interval (10:00-11:00) where the courses are considered the most productive was chosen for the evaluation. The results were compared and interpreted with the values specified in the standards; the measurement is limited to the day and time interval. Keywords: daylighting, the Second National Architectural Movement, Ankara, Faculty of Science, educational building, analytical chemistry laboratory

    Urbanity in the Open Spaces in Developing Nodes Along Main Arteries: Sogutozu Node on Dumlupinar Road in Ankara
    (Middle East Technical Univ, 2022) Uysal Bilge, Fulay; Dogu Demirbas, Guler Ufuk; Alanyali Aral, Ela; 17572
    The effects of the main transportation arteries on the urban sprawl and the formation of new public spaces is an important topic of discussion today. Considering the urban roads, major arteries trigger fast development and the formation of a significant amount of urban open space together with buildings. Vehicular roads are the main elements that bring out urbanity and centrality by providing a combination of circulation at different speeds and making possible the interaction of users from local and remote areas ( Jacobs, 1969; Nijenhuis, 1994 and Read, 2006). In this context, sub-spaces were defined as public spaces that are beside / under / above / between / within vehicular roads and the sub-space perceptions of pedestrians in the case of the closest part of Ankara Eskisehir Road to the city center, were investigated in an earlier study (Alanyali Aral and Demirbas, 2015). In the current study, Sogutozu is defined as a developing node with its rapidly increasing built stock and function density on one of the most important transportation arteries of the city, and its urban features are discussed within the scope of the emerging open spaces. Despite the unsuitable conditions, Sogutozu node displays a constant pedestrian density, and with this feature, it exemplifies 'activity' as an important indicator, which Montgomery (1998) defines as one of the three components of the concept of 'urbanity'. Accordingly, a conceptual framework is developed on the characteristics of urbanity, activity and public space, and then the components of the open space stock are discussed within the scope of spaces of 'places' and 'flows' (Nijhuis and Jauslin, 2015) specific to developing nodes. Spaces of 'places' in developing nodes include privately owned public use spaces, in-between spaces and informal public spaces-'fourth place's (Aelbrecht, 2016). The spaces of the 'flows', on the other hand, are discussed as pedestrian spaces that enhance urbanity. In the case study, firstly the historical and current development of Sogutozu node is examined, and then a comprehensive model based on the relevant pedestrian needs is suggested to evaluate the activity-based urbanity the node. The defining elements of the activity-based urbanity are explored via map analysis and on-site observations, whereas the pedestrian perceptions in the node are investigated with the applied questionnaires. The results show that the pedestrian experience is negatively affected due to the conditional and intermittent pedestrian access, as well as the inability to provide physical, psychological and physiological comfort; nevertheless, many and various activities add vitality to the area which result in many informal public spaces (fourth places) formed at the entrances and transitions to the public and semi-public spaces. The questionnaire survey, which was conducted with fewer but still comparable numbers of users due to the pandemic conditions, included the pedestrian perception questions in the survey conducted in 2005-2007. It is seen that although today the perception of traffic such as noise increased slightly, the perception of air pollution and traffic safety problems decreased. Additionally, the perception of public space qualities like well-known and dynamic / lively spaces increased significantly and constituted the most common perception after the perception of noisy / tiresome space. The results reveal that open spaces in the node of Sogutozu, where mixed use, large-scale and fragmented complexes are dominant, cannot provide environmental and internal continuity as well as appropriate walking environment within the framework of activity-based urbanization, and thus necessitate a holistic urban design approach. The urbanism formed in this rapidly developing node can be enhanced by temporal and spatial continuities; in addition to provision of pedestrian comfort with the arrangements to reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle dominance. The overall evaluation validates that the open spaces in the node should be enriched with accessible spaces for all users, carefully designed indoor-outdoor relations, cultural uses, small-scale businesses and activities spanning time.

    Revisiting the Concept of Ephemerality in the Counter-Culture Architecture of the 1960s: Infatable Structures
    (2022) Eryılmaz, Burcu; 283453
    In his 1969 project An Experimental Bottery, published in the ninth issue of Archigram, David Greene introduces time as a concept that has had a significant impact on the arts over the past few years, but not so much on architecture. Still, he proposed the temporary space as the example of “an architecture that exists only with reference to time” by pointing out its potential to last in memory. Along this line of thought, this paper aims to make inquiry into the critical examples of temporary architecture to reflect on how they challenge architecture’s long-standing claim to permanence and thus attempt to transform the conventional relationship between architecture and time. To do so, it discusses a selection of inflatable structures that had been produced by such avant-garde architecture collectives as Archigram, Haus-Rucker-Co, and Coop Himmelb(l)au between the late 1960s and early 1970s. Starting from the assumption that these experimental spaces contribute to the expansion of the established boundaries of the discipline as they are situated at the margins of dominating architectural culture, this research provides a ground to argue how inflatable structures turned into a critical medium to reassess architecture’s relation with time during this period which was marked by technological developments and social, political and cultural upheavals.In his 1969 project An Experimental Bottery, published in the ninth issue of Archigram, David Greene introduces time as a concept that has had a significant impact on the arts over the past few years, but not so much on architecture.

    Visual Comfort Assessment of Oled Lighting in an Indoor Office Environment
    (2022) Yenigül, Saadet Akbay; Avcı, Ayşe Nihan; 237970; 21742
    Visual comfort is one of the significant criteria influencing good-quality lighting in an indoor environment. There are various technologies for delivering illumination in indoor installations; three important milestones are incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lighting. Alternative technologies, such as OLED (organic light-emitting diode) lighting, cannot be disregarded by a thorough examination. Few studies have investigated the influence of OLED lighting on visual comfort in terms of merely illuminance level. To this end, this study investigates the influence of OLED lighting conditions on visual comfort, including general comfort parameters—overall comfort, illuminance, brightness ratio, veiling reflections, colour, flicker effect, overall satisfaction—in an indoor office environment. Twelve members from the Faculty of Architecture, Çankaya University, voluntarily participated in the study. A full-scale indoor office environment was designed for the test environment, which was illuminated by OLED lighting (2900 K). An Office Lighting Survey was adopted to assess the general visual comfort of OLED lighting conditions in an indoor office environment. In contrast to earlier lighting studies, this study did not measure any task performance under the lighting condition. Instead, it focused solely on participants’ visual comfort evaluations when exposed to OLED lighting during their everyday routines in an indoor office environment. This study is a preliminary study for further investigations on the doctoral thesis.

    (2021) Kılcı, Gülhayat; Gediz Urak, Zehra; 1487
    Geleneksel konutlar geçmiş nesillerin gündelik sosyal hayatlarının delili olan miras varlıklarıdır. Kentlerin hızla değişim ve dönüşüm gösterdiği günümüzde bu miras varlıklarını belgelemek, korumak ve gelecek nesillere aktarmak bugünkü neslin önemli bir görevi olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı yok olmaya yüz tutmuş Sivas geleneksel konut mirasının günümüze ulaşan son örneklerini belgelemek, mimari özelliklerini değerlendirmek ve koruma sorunlarını ortaya koymaktır. Sivas kent merkezinde gerçekleştirilen alan çalışması sonucu tespit edilen 106 geleneksel konutta envanter çalışması yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bilgiler harita, şekil, grafik ve tablolara dökülerek belgelenmiştir. Söz konusu konutlar geç 19. yüzyıl ve erken 20. yüzyıla tarihlenmektedir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesi bağlamında: geleneksel konutların yerleşim özellikleri, plan özellikleri, cephe organizasyonları, yapım sistemleri ve malzeme kullanım özellikleri, tarihi çevre karakteristikleri ve koruma sorunları aktarılmıştır. Kent ölçeğinden başlayıp yapı ölçeğine kadar yapılan detaylı analizler sonucunda Sivas kent merkezinde sürekli bir geleneksel dokunun varlığından söz edilememektedir. Mevcut yapıların, katmanlı bir kültürel tarihe sahip olan Sivas ilinin, geleneksel Türk Evi’ne dair son örnekleri olması konutların mimari, kültürel ve sosyal değerlerini daha da önemli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışma Sivas geleneksel konutlarının karakteristik özelliklerini ve mevcut durumlarını ortaya koymaktadır ve gelecek çalışmalar için kaynak niteliği taşıması beklenmektedir.

    Sürdürülebilir Yapı Malzemesi Hedefiyle Demir Çelik ve Plastik Endüstrisi Atıklarının Geri Kazanımı
    (2018) Tuna Kayılı, Merve; Çelebi, Gülser; Güldaş, Abdulmecit; 2919
    Demir-çelik ve plastik endüstrisi ithal girdisi yüksek endüstrilerdendir. Bu endüstrilerin üretim ve ürünün kullanım sonrası evresinde çok miktarda atık meydana gelmektedir. Demir-çelik endüstrisinin üretim evresi atıklarından en problemli atık, yüksek fırın baca tozu (YFBT) atığıdır. Kullanım oranını her geçen gün artıran plastikler kullanım ömrünü doldurduğunda yüksek bozunma süresinden dolayı doğada uzun yıllar atık olarak kalabilmektedir. Türkiye’de ve dünyada en fazla kullanım hacmine sahip plastik türü ise düşük yoğunluklu polietilen (LDPE)’dir. Bu atıkların geri kazanımı, çevre problemlerinin azaltılması ve ürünlerin ülke ekonomisine kazandırılması açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada LDPE ve YFBT ekstrüzyon yöntemiyle bir araya getirilmiş ve kompozit granül üretilmiştir. Üretilen kompozit granüller enjeksiyon yöntemiyle şekillendirilmiş, mekanik özellikleri incelenmiş ve elde edilen kompozit malzemenin yapıda zemin kaplama malzemesi olarak kullanılabileceği belirlenmiştir.
