An Analytical Approach for Cabinet Door Type Selection in Kitchen Design
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A functional and comfortable kitchen design can only be gained by creating solutions which are in compliance with the needs of person or people to use the kitchen. User needs are all conditions which support humans to continue their lives without being disturbed by physiological, social and psychological aspects. The most important decisions, which must be given right in order to design kitchen project in compliance with the user needs, are the kitchen layout and cabinet door type. Within the scope of study, these two main design decisions were determined firstly and the question, whether there is a meaningful relation between them and if any, what kind of relation, was asked. As result of the literature research made for finding an answer for this question, many design tips on the determination of cabinet door type or kitchen layout were obtained but a scientific data showing whether there is a relation between these two design decisions was not obtained. In this context, the study's scope and purpose were determined as to obtain statistical data describing the mathematical relation between the cabinet door type and kitchen layout and to present the results belonging to these data as a data analysis table. As the methodology of the study, all kitchen layouts were determined at the first stage. At the next stage, cabinet door types to be examined within the study were described. Then 1.309 real kitchen projects were examined for obtaining the statistical data showing the relations between these cabinet door types and kitchen layouts. At the last stage, the mathematical relations between the statistical data obtained as result of these examinations were described as a meaningful data analysis. The selection for the closet cover type shall be made in a more competitive way with the kitchen layout by using this data analysis table obtained. Besides, it shall be possible to know which cabinet door type is mostly preferred by the users with the aid of this data analysis table and this information shall help the sample modelled company to determine its product stock amounts in a more proper way and it shall decrease the production time of the kitchen.
