For that aim, kitchens having the same interior organization were used as the stimuli in recently built by TOKI in a district called Selcuk University Campus in Konya. According to the results obtained by means of a detailed questionnaire, occupants in Selcuk University thought the kitchens functionally insufficient related with difference of education level. Moreover, all occupants complain the insufficient use of storages of the dwelling with different ratio and the ratio shows increment based on people population living in the home. Another striking result was the users’ perceptual evaluation on their kitchens as they mostly found the space uninteresting and ordinary.
