Potential Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Spatial Planning
In this study, the definition, historical development, and application potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are examined based on the literature. The transformation of UAV systems, particularly alongside advancements in photogrammetry, remote sensing, and sensor technologies, has enabled low-cost, rapid, flexible, and high-resolution spatial data production. This technological progress has facilitated the widespread adoption of UAVs across multidisciplinary fields, such as engineering applications, forestry studies, ecological monitoring processes, mining site modeling, digital documentation of cultural heritage, and urban open space analysis. The literature emphasizes that UAV-based data production provides high accuracy in orthophoto generation, Digital Surface Models (DSM), Digital Terrain Models (DTM), and three dimensional models (3D Model), and that the combined use of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and photogrammetric data further enhances model precision. The findings indicate that UAV technology has evolved beyond being a mere data collection tool into a multi-layered technological infrastructure that enables spatial analysis, 3D modeling, and the integrated processing of diverse data types within Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Old Age in Everyday Life: The Experience of Old Age Through Time, Space, and Body from Henri Lefebvre's Perspective
This study examines the experience of old age not merely as a biological life stage, but as a social phenomenon shaped by spatial arrangements, temporal experiences, and daily life practices. The clearest answer to how old age is experienced lies in the manifestations of daily life practices. The aim of the study is to discuss the structural and experiential problems faced by elderly individuals from a sociological perspective. The study is structured using theoretical and conceptual analysis methods. Therefore, the theoretical framework of the study is drawn through Henri Lefebvre's concepts of "the production of space," "rhythmanalysis," "the right to the city," and "critique of daily life," which allow for the explanation of the repetitive yet meaningful structure of daily life. The study discusses the conditions under which urban spaces are in harmony (isorhythmia) or disharmony (arrhythmia) with the rhythm of old age. The relationship between work time and leisure time is established specifically in the context of old age. The tension between elderly individuals and the city is evaluated through the dimensions of physical, economic, social, cultural, and digital exclusion. In this respect, the study offers a theoretical contribution by discussing the phenomenon of old age from a Lefebvrean perspective.
Analysis of Disabled Child Care in Foster Families within The Context of Social Capital
Caring for a disabled child requires more responsibility than caring for a non-disabled child. Providing care for disabled children in a family environment positively contributes to their development. Although the number of disabled children benefiting from foster care services in Turkey has increased in recent years, the placement rate of disabled children with foster families is still quite low compared to other child groups. This situation makes researching this issue crucial. This study aims to reveal the role of social capital in the foster care process by examining the experiences of individuals who are foster parents to disabled children from a social capital perspective. The experiences of foster families were examined within the framework of social capital elements such as trust, social networks, reciprocity, norms, and values. A qualitative research method was used in the study, conducted within the framework of a phenomenological design. The sample of the study consists of individuals who are foster parents to disabled children, selected using a purposive sampling method. The fieldwork was conducted in 2025 in the provinces and districts of Isparta and Burdur. Research data was collected through in-depth interviews with a total of 24 foster families who are foster parents to disabled children.

A Study on The Potential Value of Industry Collaboration in Interıor Design Education
The contemporary education process that emerged during the Republican Era aims to provide equal educational rights and conditions to all individuals defined as students. In order for this permanent education model not to remain merely theoretical, practice-oriented learning methods—particularly on-site and firsthand learning—have been developed, especially in fields that directly affect human life and living standards. In interior architecture education, this approach is sustained through a combination of theoretical courses and practical components such as internships, workshops, fairs, and seminars, enabling students to adapt more easily to professional life after graduation. It is essential for students to engage with industry leaders, observe all stages of the design process, and follow production at various scales. Beyond these experiences, establishing early communication among producers, designers, and commercial stakeholders is crucial in helping students position themselves within the market. Within this framework, the study on university–industry collaboration aims to identify existing shortcomings and propose solutions, providing a foundation for future collaborations in this field.

Spatial Perception in Digital Experience Museums And Exhibitions: A User-Centered Analysis
The current study examines spatial perception in digital experience museums and exhibitions from the user's perspective. The analyses conducted on the cases, "Ephesus Experience Museum," "IMM Digital Experience Museum," and "Kandinsky: Journey of the Blue Rider Digital Exhibition", address the sensory factors that influence the perception of space through a holistic approach. Evaluations on color, light, texture and material, form and shape, scale and proportion, temperature, sound, and smell demonstrate that digital exhibitions, unlike traditional museum spaces, offer a multisensory experience. The findings reveal that digital projections, holograms, and interactive technologies redefine spatial boundaries, creating an immersive experience where visual, auditory, and cognitive stimuli converge. Digital experience spaces transform visitors from passive spectators into active participants, shaping spatial perception on individual, cultural, and sensory levels. Consequently, digital museums/exhibitions are considered aesthetic tools for transmitting contemporary art and cultural heritage and user-oriented perceptual experience environments. This study highlights the innovations brought by digitalization to the spatial perception dimension of museology and exhibition design, contributing to future research in the field.
Determination Of User Activities in Urban Parks with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Case Study of Isparta Kule Park
In this study, the user behaviors of Kule Park in Hızırbey Neighborhood of Isparta city center were observed in detail through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. Based on the age, gender and physical movement patterns of the participants, the activities they perform, the spaces they use and their time-spending habits were analyzed. In the light of the data obtained, elements such as user density, spatial distribution, accessibility level and mobility patterns were evaluated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) supported analysis. This approach provides more comprehensive, systematic and objective results compared to traditional observation methods. The research contributes to the development of user-oriented spatial designs, effective management of parks and intervention strategies that encourage physical activity. In addition, the integration of UAV technology into the discipline of landscape architecture accelerates the process of digital transformation in professional practices and provides a valuable model in scientific and practical terms.

The research findings reveal that small underwater houses not only offer a lifestyle in harmony with nature but also provide an innovative vision for preserving marine ecosystems and promoting sustainable development. In this context, underwater architecture is evaluated as a pioneering approach capable of offering environmental, economic, and social benefits for future generations.
Violence Against Women In The Family: A Field Research On Women Migrating To Isparta
In ancient and modern times, women have shed light on their times in every field. There, she was a sultan, a judge, a poet, an artist, a writer, a lawyer, a warrior, and one of the narrators of the prophetic hadiths. Also, until now, women still work and contribute with all their energy to the maintenance of their homes and family members. They are wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters, and this is what makes the role women play in building society important. It is a role that cannot be ignored or underestimated. Through our research that addresses the issue of violence against women within the family between the socialization process and male authority, we see that the phenomenon of violence against women is one of the phenomena that has historical, cultural and social dimensions. It is not limited to time and space. It is not related to the nature of society, whether conservative, western or eastern, but to the existence of man and the mutual relations between men and women within the family. I applied this research to ten immigrant women who were abused in Isparta province of Turkey and used the case study approach using qualitative research. I used interview and observation tools as methods. Then I analyzed these cases and obtained results that were suitable for the purpose of the research.
Analysis of the Effects of Art Deco Architecture on the World and Turkey
The concept that can be accepted as Art Deco architecture does not have form features, but the motivations and dynamics that form the form. Works of architecture have shown changes depending on place, time, and society. These changes are characterized as "style, style and form". The construction of styles progressed slowly in the Ancient Ages when stagnation and calmness prevailed. Stylistic changes varied with technological developments. It is difficult to distinguish styles within the current period, but it is necessary to examine past periods. However, it is possible to describe the style when looking at objects, settlements and structures in everyday life. In the 20th century, it is possible to characterize it as Modernism. The Modern movement in design and architecture is divided into fields within itself. Some of them are prominent while others remain in the shadows. Art Deco, which varies in culture, that is, in countries, the reflections of the world countries and the Republic of Turkey have been investigated. stated.

Risks and Hazards In Working Environments From an Interior Architecture Perspective
One of the significant factors in ensuring occupational health and safety for employees in public buildings is the working environment. The design of the work environment affects employee motivation and productivity. Therefore, the work environment needs to be organized to provide the ideal setting and incorporate optimal solutions suitable for its function. Ignoring this necessity leads to various risks and hazards for employees due to the design of the space. Based on this premise, this study investigates the risks and hazards encountered in existing public buildings. The research has provided data on the topics that should be prioritized in the design of future work environments and the creation of occupational health and safety course content related to the field. The analysis revealed that occupational health and safety issues predominantly focused on hospitals and university laboratories. The studies highlighted noise, ergonomics, thermal comfort, lighting, and ventilation as key elements causing risks and hazards related to space. The research has provided data on topics that should be prioritized in the design of future work environments and in the development of occupational health and safety course content for the field. Increasing studies and knowledge/culture in the field of interior architecture will contribute to making working environments healthier and safer.
Football is the most popular sport today, with ancient origins. This is why various countries have tried to trace its origins back to their own history. Initially, governments and intellectuals tended to ignore football. This was because of its violent nature, its potential power and its connotation of war. Later on, football became too important an industry to be ignored. Parallel to this, governments have tried to take advantage of football's ability to canalize the masses. Social scientists and intellectuals have also become more interested in football. Ideology-based definitions of football are valid for the ancient times of modern football. On the other hand, with the transformation of football into an ideology in itself, religious, class-based or ideological approaches have largely lost their meaning. In this study, this ideological transformation of football will be discussed.
Reading Semiotic Orientation In Interior Architecture Project Process Through Student Projects
As an object of communication, space offers various identities to the user as a result of the subject-space interaction by transforming its physical elements into objects of communication. Interior semiotics, which focuses on the process of understanding and interpretation of this event, deals with the sensations created by the data of the space on the user and the processes through which these sensations pass. The formal abstraction methods that interior architecture education indirectly provides students with are a guide for them to create the meaning and identity behind their designs. Within the scope of this study, firstly, a literature review was conducted in which general semiotic methods were defined, and two student projects were selected as a sample to be analyzed. It covers the analysis of syntagmatic and paradigmatic elements that exist on these projects within the framework of Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic method. The outputs of the analyzed projects aim to reveal that interior architecture students are able to internalize and apply semiotic methods to design processes even without learning semiotic methods at the theoretical level. This study aims to emphasize the importance of integrating the concept of semiotics into the educational process in the discipline of interior architecture.
Digital Technology Use of Baby Boomers and Generation Z Adults and Intergenerational Digital Solidarity
Increasing life expectancy and longevity in today's societies enable at least two generations to live together. This situation has made it important to examine the adaptation processes of different age groups to digital technologies. As digital technologies have become an integral part of daily life, how these technologies are adopted by different age groups has become an important subject of study. In this context, this study examines the use of digital technologies and intergenerational digital solidarity between the Baby Boomers (born between 1944-1964) and Generation Z (born between 1997-2012) adults. The study reveals that Baby Boomers (1944-1964) generation adults approach digital technologies more cautiously than Generation Z (1997-2012) adults and receive support from their relatives in the learning process, but when they adapt, they can solve problems independently. Generation Z, on the other hand, is a generation that has internalized technology as "digital natives", can adapt quickly and can easily use digital technology in all areas of their lives. This is despite the fact that Generation Z's dependence and commitment to technology is criticized by other generations. As a result, the use and adaptation of digital technology differs between Baby Boomers and Generation Z, but these differences bring about intergenerational digital solidarity and mutual assistance in learning processes. This solidarity allows for collective action in the digital world.
While the virtual universe and new media communication tools are being used so much, learning the design layers of the metaverse and what is systematics of metaverse, how it works, are very important points for architectural designers who want to understand how the representations of interacting real-world functions are simulated in real time by designers and make qualified design. If new media communication tools take up a large area as a concept, have an active user, and if they continue to be used in this way, it is also important in the future. In this study, we examined the design systematics and layers of the metaverse and examined how new virtual spaces are created and their impact on the future. In this research, we aimed to examine the design systematics in metaverse logic and how new virtual spaces are created and their impact on the future through examples. We touched upon how the design systematics basically consists of different layers in the metaverse logic. We analyzed under what conditions we would obtain positive or negative results when architects and interior designers pay attention to the design systematics and layers and take into account their own experiences and the experiences and feelings of the users while designing in the metaverse.
Evaluation of The Relationship of Ergonomics And Biophilic Design Principles Through Library Design
This study is about examining how biophilic design reduces ergonomic risk factors through library design. The study is important in that it is a descriptive study to draw attention to the fact that biophilic design principles increase the well-being of users by reducing ergonomic risk factors, to systematically examine library design within the scope of biophilic design principles, and to determine a direction about biophilic library design. This study aims to reveal that biophilic design not only reduces ergonomic risk factors but also improves mental and physical health. Document analysis was preferred to analyze the library in terms of biophilic design principles. With the findings obtained, deficiencies and ergonomic risk factors in the library's interaction with nature were identified and suggestions were made within the scope of biophilic design principles to improve them.
The Actual Condition of Çallı Village as a Unique Sample of Rural Architecture and Some Suggestions for Its Preservation
Çallı, a mountain village in Burhaniye District of Balıkesir Province, is 9 km from Burhaniye district center by road. It is located in the distance. Roughly 426 m from the sea level, on the steep western slopes of the Madra Mountains, overlooking the Burhaniye and Edremit Plains and the shining sun of the Edremit Gulf. The village rapidly lost its population after the 1990s, and today it looks like a completely deserted and abandoned village, except for four households. Unused and abandoned stone masonry walls and earthen roofed structures are also turning into ruins day by day due to neglect. Çallı Village, which is melting like soap, has a settlement texture perfectly adapted to the topography on a slope resembling the ancient theater cavea. The current situation of the settlement was documented with photographs and drawings, and some civil architecture examples that survived until today were examined in terms of plans and materials, and architectural documentation and archive studies were carried out. In this research, in addition to documentation studies, personal interviews were conducted with local people and the living habits of the region were documented. Suggestions have been made to document the rural architectural examples of Çallı Village and to preserve them and pass them on to future generations. It is thought that it will contribute to the literature.

Deconstruction is a postmodern reading attitude against logocentrism which was developed under the representation of Jacques Derrida, questioning the immutable rules of western metaphysics and answering all of the definite meanings that can be inferred from text with doubt. In deconstructional readings, expressions and impressions from the text that seem to be certain should be analysed over and over again and the motion of the language should be interpreted knowing that the meanings can turn into different meanings. In this context, a deconstructive reading of Shakespeare's play, King Lear written in 1605 will be made in this study. In this reading, which is suitable for a deconstructive reading due to the abundance of intertextual references and binary oppositions such as good-bad, friend-enemy, husband-wife and many more, the development of Lear's place in the patriarchal family structure throughout the story, in which he takes place as a symbol of authority, and the similarity with the sub-stories, dementia and mood disorders, his journey from blindness to wisdom will be read with a deconstructive approach. The situations encountered by Lear in the cyclical trajectory of the text will be scrutinized. A reading will be conducted on the countless possibilities of the situations faced by Lear and family members. By examining the physical and psychological ramifications, events will be evaluated based on the infinite divergences of meaning they entail.
3D Projection Mapping as a Common Visual Design Application of Contemporary Art, Advertising and Entertainment Industry
Buildings, automobiles, and even human faces can be transformed using the 3D projection mapping technique and technology to provide an immersive visual experience for spectators. It has gained popularity recently, particularly in the industries of entertainment, modern art, and advertising. The ability of 3D projection mapping to immerse audiences in various worlds and produce memorable experiences is thought to be the primary factor behind its rising appeal in these regions. Examples of 3D projection mapping applications have grown widely for a variety of uses, including entertainment, art, advertising, and special celebration events, despite the high prices and difficulties in the creation process. While the contents of these works may be autonomous, a new trend in hybrid applications is emerging that combines aspects of commercial marketing with modern art aesthetics and practices with the primary objective of giving users delightful experiences and interesting moments. On the other hand, technological improvements and the opportunities they present for numerous new works and experiences have made it possible for projects and applications that combine multiple fields or specialties. On the other hand, there are different production pursuits in creative fields such as entertainment, art and advertising. It is a fact that those who produce in these fields cannot ignore the opportunities provided by technology. In this context, this study will examine the opportunities and innovations that 3D projection mapping technology offers to these fields in terms of visual design, as well as approaches that will shed light on hybrid works in entertainment, contemporary art and advertising, which we may encounter more frequently today and in the future.
A Sampling on COVID-19 Effect in Introduction to Furniture Course: Teen Room Design
In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes in the education systems afterward; due to the earthquake disasters in our country, distance/online education has become compulsory, and courses have been moved to digital platforms. Sketching on large surfaces with traditional drawing materials has been replaced by projects shared in the virtual environment with the help of interfaces using tablets and computers. With the "life fits in the house" approach, it has been seen that it is possible to carry out many activities in the house or even in just one room. In this context, the study evaluated the changing learning styles in a sample of "teen room" spaces for university students studying design. After the studies were analyzed through the spaces and furnishings of teen rooms identified through a screening strategy, and then the adaptation of teen rooms to the process and its aftermath was sought. Data were obtained through the observation method from the determined study group. As a result of the study, it was determined that the education system and the social world have an impact on sample. With the increasing use of screens, it has been observed that the surfaces can be included in the design for different functions. Under the leadership of this study, the fact that the changes in social life can be mirrored and the fact that change can be monitored through spaces has been revealed with the qualitative data obtained and the content analysis method.
From Pictoral Space To Theatrical Space: The Artists Who Created Stage Designs in The First Quarter of The 20th Century
The effect that the art the 20th century created brings a quest for a brand-new language in every field of the history of art and thought as well as performing arts. Until then, stage design was discussed as an equivalent of the visual world which was on the first page of the play, and which described the place in a literary way. And the unity of time and place was bounded by entrenched rules from Aristotle’s Poetics. A secondary space located in the rectangular and dark room of the theatre building; the setting served as a representation of the place no matter how realistic it was and was described as an illusion. Whereas the content of the modern art cut its ties with the past by rejecting all traditional codes. As the movements that occurred in modern art and sculpture created manifestos against each other, the history of the emancipation of art was written in a sense. Therefore, instead of the hierarchy of actor and text that is on the first layer between theatre and the audience, an expression of the text in a plastic language was tried. Since a total change could not occur altogether, changes occurred in: at first, the function of theatre buildings (the architectural structure) and thereby the limits of the area of the audience and the play, and then the actor’s subjective relation with their body and language, the questioning of content and form of the text, the use of setting and costume as an independent expression, all these developments occurred with the productions of extraordinary artists of the avant-garde art in the field of stage design. Today, considering the stage designs that were specifically made by many artists that are renowned worldwide in their own field, these are the most exclusive productions of theatre history. The article focus on the first quarter of the 20th century and in line with kind of a stage aestehetic the artist created and also the relationship and the design of abstract place tahat is created on stage, and it will present how this turned into a space research in the history scenography.

Examination of Interior Design in Fernando Botero's Paintings Through Colonial Era Spanish Architecture
Fantastic art; It has a unique frame that is presented with an image where imagination prevails over reality, is fed by the imagination rather than the artist's technical abilities, has a strong creative aspect and is often blended with a surrealistic understanding. Although fantastic art is perceived as a contemporary approach, its origins date back to specific interpretations of ancient myths. Botero, one of the contemporary representatives of fantastic art, has included the cultural codes of Spain in his works, while talking about the daily life and habits of the Latin American people. It also used the colonial period architecture, which was designed with the understanding of the region, as a base. In addition, he paid attention to the concept of space in his original reproduction works that brought a contemporary interpretation to classical works and evaluated the space as a background. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the character-space relationship in Botero's paintings through the colonial period architecture within the scope of fantastic art.

The Social Content Issues in Turkish Painting Between 1923-1960 Reflections in The Tables
After The Turkish Republic founded in 1923, there have been intense studies in many fields of art, especially in painting. All the social and political developments, revolutions and social events have also affected the painters. Since the early years of the Republic, besides the subjects such as crops, harvests, threshing, tractors, peasants and farmers, Atatürk, the War of Independence and the revolutions have been among the subjects that have been extensively covered in paintings with social content. The art of painting was used as a tool in order to introduce and make the reforms popular to the public, and the artists produced works in the socialist realist direction. After the death of Atatürk in 1938, a new era began in Turkey and the Assembly elected Ismet İnönü as the President. During this period, the whole world was under the influence of the Second Word War. While new artistic formations were seen in Turkey in the 1940s, social realist painting gained meaning with the work of the Yeniler Group, which was established in 1941. The artists of the Yeniler Group, who questioned the groups before them, entered the public and produced works with social content. They approached the painting of working people and the environment they live in and observe within a social understanding of art. The works of some of the artists of the group were removed from the exhibition halls as they were seen as contrary to the national moral values. With the coming to power of the Democrat Party in 1950, the transition to the multi-party system and liberalization period began in Turkey. After this period, various trends are seen in Turkish painting art. Abstract paintings began to take the place of realistic paintings with social content in the 1940s. Although abstract painting was handled by many artists between the years 1950-1960, figurative and social-themed paintings continued to be processed with the beginning of industrialization and squatting. Some members of the Onlar Group, which was active in the early 1950s, and the artists of the Yeni Dal Group, which produced works similar to the realistic understanding of the Yeniler Group, also discussed social issues in their works during this period. In our study, the works dealing with social issues between the years of 1923 and 1960 will be examined in three parts as Atatürk Period (1923-1938), Ismet Inönü Period (1938-1950) and Democrat Party Period (1950-1960). Keywords: Turkish Painting, Social Realism, Contemporary Turkish Painting.

The Evaluation Of The Spatial Understandings Of The New Millennium in The Field Of Interior Architecture
The aim of this study is to analyze and compile the fundamental changes in interior architecture design from the beginning of the new millennium to the present. In this context, a literature study was conducted and visuals related to the subject were used. In the face of the socio-cultural, socio-political and socio-economic effects brought about by the new millennium, the basic principles of interior design approach have been preserved, while various new understandings have emerged on the physical and virtual fundamentals. While Interior Architecture is a branch of art and science that creates a route on the living axis, artificial intelligence has begun to be added to this axis by users. The staff of the Henn Na Hotel chain in Japan consists of artificial intelligence. The pandemic era, the rate of advancement of technology and globalization are among the main developments affecting this process. The rapid development of technology has allowed interior spaces to be considered as virtual spaces as shells and the rise of smart interiors. Interiors have started to communicate with it’s user and interactive spaces have also occured. Fictional spaces have entered a perceptual-conceptual development phase thanks to effects and sound technologies. Detailed and accurate evaluation of this process is important in terms of predicting the future and new trends.
The Use of Adobe Material In Traditional Buildings In Anatolia
The changing needs of human beings throughout history have shown themselves in every field and new things have entered our lives. One of these is the need for shelter to be protected from the harms of the environment in which it is located. Hunter-gatherer primitive people met their need for shelter by entering tree cavities and caves. With the beginning of agricultural activities in the Neolithic period, human beings settled down and built houses where they could take shelter near agricultural fields, leaving the tree hollows and caves they lived in with the changing living conditions. In the construction of the houses, they mostly benefited from traditional resources such as stones, trees, adobe, which are easily accessible in the environment, from the past to the present. These materials, which are used as building materials, were used in proportion to their easy and abundant availability in the environment. While the use of wood is predominant in buildings built in Anatolia where trees are abundant and climatic conditions are favorable; stone material where wood is less frequent; In the Anatolian countryside, where the continental climate is dominant, where stones and trees are not enough, mudbrick, which is an earth-based material, was often used. The history of adobe dates back to the Neolithic Age (9000 BC). Today, the way of production of adobe, which is used especially in the Anatolian countryside, continues to exist almost unchanged despite its deep-rooted history. The mudbrick structures, which are not very old and created in rural areas, bear traces of cultural knowledge from tens of thousands of years ago.
The Relationship Between Interior Architecture And Science Fiction: An Analysis Study on The ‘‘Passengers’’ Movie
The aim of this research is to analyze the movie named Passengers, in which the events between two space travelers are told and a humanoid robot is partially included in the story, in terms of fictional space. For this reason, Avalon, the main location of the movie, has been examined in terms of the design criteria of fictional spaces. According to the scenario, the movie takes place in the spacecraft called Avalon, which goes to space with its 5000 colonists and 258 crew to establish a colony on Homestad II, the fourth planet conquered by mankind. The movie mentioned within the scope of the research is watched and evaluated within the scope of the main subject. Within the scope of the Fear and Space elective course given at Kütahya Dumlupınar University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Interior Architecture, the students also watched the aforementioned movie and submitted various optional opinions and suggestions about the movie in the weekly course evaluation form. These forms were also used within the scope of the research.

An Evaluation on Çaşnigir Bathhouse Located in Barla Village of Eğirdir District of Isparta
Barla, which is connected to the center of Eğirdir district in Isparta, is now a village while it was formerly a town. There are many historical buildings in Barla. Two of these historical buildings are bathhouses. One of these bathhouses is Çaşnigir Bathhouse and the other is Göçeri Bathhouse. Çaşnigir Bathhouse is known as "Çaşnigir Paşa Bathhouse" among the people because of Çaşnigir Pasha Mosque located nearby. The bathhouse is said to have been built by Çaşnigir Sinan Pasha, who was patnonage of Çaşnigir Paşa Mosque in 1376. Bathhouse should probably have been built by local masters in terms of architecture. If it is thought that Hamidoğulları Emirate prevailed in the region in those years, it can be said that the local masters who made the bath could have reflected the artistic taste and effect of the beauties on the work. Çaşnigir Bathhouse differs from other bathhouse structures in the surrounding area because the warmth section, the hot section and the desolate sections are located side by side in the horizontal plane. It is also separated from other bathhouses due to the eastern wall that makes an angle in the undressing section. The plan of the bathhouse in the present situation is the only a representative of the surrounding area acording to the similar structures. However, it is understood that some basic changes have been made in the bathhouse. As a result of examinations made in the bath, it is estimated that presenting the comments and thoughts based on some traces of the building as an article will eliminate some of the deficiencies in this subject.
Bauman's Sociology and Some Basic Concepts
Zygmunt Bauman, one of the leading figures of contemporary sociologists, is also a person who, as a Jew born in Poland at the end of the first quarter of the twentieth century, lived an important part of world political history. He is an important thinker both for his century and for twenty-first century social sciences. Bauman based his sociology on this idea, starting from the idea that postmodernity can be interpreted as 'modernity that failed to realize its original plan'. Bauman is of the opinion that the modern mind's effort to organize and classify societies causes racism and cultural assimilation. According to Bauman, those who make this effort are the political administration and the intellectuals. With these criticisms, Bauman declares that modernity is in crisis. Bauman's views, most of which are based on these criticisms of modernity, extend to the postmodern understanding. Bauman does not clearly present a comparison of modernity - postmodernity in his works, but states that the understanding of the day is not the same as the modern understanding allows these distinctions to be noticed.

Evaluation in Aydın Atatürk City Square in Terms of Ergonomics
City squares are places where people from different groups gather, rest and socialize. For this reason, city squares are suitable for women, men, children, the elderly, the disabled, etc. should be relevant to all individuals. Urban equipment elements that allow opportunities such as seating, lighting, transportation, siege and activity in city squares also have an important place. The design of urban reinforcement elements in anthropometric-ergonomic criteria is a factor that will increase the use of urban squares. Within the scope of the research, Aydın Atatürk City Square was chosen as the study area because it is one of the areas that people use intensively. Urban reinforcement elements in the research area are grouped under five groups as floor elements, roof elements, reinforcement elements, sports areas, and containment elements and evaluated in terms of ergonomics and anthropometry. Ergonomically unsuitable uses have been identified and suggestions have been made to eliminate existing errors.
Fountains in Üsküdar City Texture Via Pervititch Maps
Fountains, which constitute an important building group of water architecture, found a place in the Ottoman urban phenomenon by reflecting the style and characteristics of the period they belong to. Fountain structures have become a very common architectural element in neighborhoods due to many factors such as the Muslim people's view of having a fountain built as a blessing, and the importance attached to water by Ottoman subjects and the vital value of water. These structures, which are shaped by the architecture of the period, also shape the urban texture in which it is located. Fountain structures, which usually deal with their architectural features, raise some questions about their contribution to the urban fabric. The urban phenomenon of the Ottoman period; It was formed based on the history, geographical structure, sociological structure and cultural accumulation of the city. The architectural structures that take place in the city phenomenon shape the city in which they are located. At this point, the fountains, which take their place as a small-scale building group in the urban fabric, have both been shaped according to the space they are in and have contributed to the urban texture by shaping the space. When we look at the fountains, which are integrated with the urban texture in Pervititch maps, on the scale of today's city, they almost disappear in the concrete. From this point, it is concluded that fountains have lost their importance in today's modern world, but it is also a fact that the society has no awareness of this issue and the urban fabric is not protected.
