Abstract
Kitchens and bathrooms called as wet spaces in houses have great importance for house construction and interior arrangement of house. During the design process, it is highly important to do consciously the planning of wet spaces. The most important criterion to be considered for design is that wet spaces have proper characteristics for changing life conditions and technological requirements. This research determines at what stage the daily needs of the occupants accommodating in apartments built by Mass Housing Administration (TOK?) has been answered and the complaints if there exist. 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.
