DETERMINING EFFECTS OF KITCHEN DESIGN RULES ON KITCHEN FUNCTIONALITY IN A COMPARATIVE WAY
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
One of the most studied areas for increasing interior design performance is kitchen. The reason for this is the expectation of a superior performance from kitchen as regards numerous criteria compared to other areas. When scientific studies conducted on kitchen design performance were examined, it was observed that they are basically divided into two groups. The first group consists of those related to performance of industrial kitchen products. The works carried out in the other group describe the basic design rules to increase kitchen design performance. However, a study examining the effects of any kitchen design rule on kitchen functionality in a comparative way was not found in all the resources obtained. Accordingly, the objective of the study has been described as determining the effect of each design rule utilized for improving the kitchen design performance on the functionality of the kitchen. To this end, a literature research was conducted as the methodology of the study at the first stage and a set of rules was created for kitchen design. Subsequently, effect of each design rule on the functionality of kitchen was determined with designers of a company which has 60 dealers in Turkey and which produces and markets kitchen systems. Personal interview method, which is a statistical data obtaining tool, was conducted with focused groups while this was performed and in-depth interviews were carried out with relevant people.
