Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The objective of this research paper is to investigate residents’ perception of environmental and indoorcomfort conditions inthe residences in gated communities for higher-income groups,focusing on thermal, visual and acoustical comfort. For this purpose, a residential satisfaction survey was conducted to residents of 6 housing estates in Bursa, Turkey. The study consists of three main parts: i) literature review ii) evaluation of user satisfaction survey, and iii) discussion of the research findings focusing on improving indoor environment. Comfort parameters for indoor environmental conditions are predetermined by the authors based on ASHRAE 55-2010 standards. The questionnaires were applied to residents and they were asked to express the importance of comfort conditions in housing preference and their satisfaction level with comfort parameters in gated communities which they prefer to live in. The results suggest that design decisions in such residential areas are predominantly taken based on privilege, security and site opportunities, and that satisfaction from indoor spaces is considered as of secondary importance. While users prefer these types of residences due to the perception of privilege, site opportunities and security, they feel dissatisfied with basic parameters such as daylight and indoor temperature, which are important during the usage.In conclusion, recommendations are developed towards the improvement of architectural design of gated communities which is a type of housing preferred by upper income groupsaddressing thermal comfort, lighting and acoustics.
