A DATABASE MODEL FOR CONTAINER USE IN PRODUCING SUSTAINABLE HOUSING: CONSENSUS

Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2

Abstract

There are numerous different techniques and implementation approaches including refunctioning, utilization of building elements appropriate for climate and topography, employment of sustainable materials as well as management of energy and water consumption in the field of sustainable housing production. It is not possible to assess all of these approaches by discussing them in a detailed way within a single scientific study and obtain meaningful results. To this end, a comprehensive literature search has been conducted through usage of The Dart Europe E-Theses portal, Turkish Higher Education Council Presidency Center and the ITU Electronic Database with an eye to limit the work and to determine the issue to be discussed. The data provided as a result of the cited researches have been systematically evaluated and the issue to be discussed has been determined as "description of a data base model that will assist the designer in utilization of containers in sustainable housing production". The design matrix and the classification system of this matrix which will constitute the main spine of the database model are constructed has been built at the first stage with a view to solve the cited issue. The criteria and codes representing household types, container types, combination alternatives of containers in architectural scale, and interior space alternatives suitable for these alternatives are included within this classification system. The conceptual model constituting the output of all the works so far is converted into a relational database model at an objective size by virtue of the Microsoft Access Relational Database Development Platform in the following phase. The benefits to be provided by the developed database model are discussed at the last stage.
