Abstract

It is seen that the lower social economic group is faced with housing problems with the increasing housing prices in recent years and economic problems after the pandemic. The difficulties faced by groups in need of social assistance, such as the homeless, students, immigrants and the elderly, in finding housing, are increasing day by day. Users facing this problem are looking for various temporary or permanent accommodation solutions. As a result of the increase in housing problems and the lack of qualified structures, the tiny house movement, which is used in the world, has started to attract attention in our country. Tiny houses, which are seen as a smaller, economical and sustainable answer, can be an answer to the problem of housing. In this article, first of all, the point of accommodation problems was examined. Then, as a result of the literature review, the definitions of tiny houses were made. Tiny houses were examined in terms of socioeconomic and sustainability in order to develop recommendations. Finally, in line with the information obtained, suggestions have been developed for users, sanctions and manufacturers for a more sustainable use.

BARINMA SORUNUNA SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR BİR ÇÖZÜM OLARAK TİNY HOUSE

Abstract

Son yıllarda artan konut fiyatları ve pandemi sonrası ekonomik sıkıntılar ile birlikte alt sosyal ekonomik grubun barınma sorunları ile karşı karşıya kaldığı görülmektedir. Özellikle evsizler, öğrenciler, göçmenler ve yaşlılar gibi sosyal yardım ihtiyacı duyan grupların konut bulmakta duyduğu sıkıntılar her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu sorunla karşı karşıya kalan kullanıcılar çeşitli geçici ya da kalıcı barınma çözümleri aramaktadırlar. Barınma sorunlarının artması ve kalifiye yapı bulunamaması sonucunda dünyada kullanımı her geçen gün artan tiny house hareketi ülkemizde de dikkat çekmeye başlamıştır. Daha küçük, ekonomik ve sürdürülebilir bir yanıt olarak görülen tiny house’lar barınma sorununa bir cevap oluşturabilir. Bu makalede öncelikle barınma sorunlarının geldiği nokta incelenmiştir. Daha sonrasında literatür taraması sonucu tiny house’ların tanımlamaları yapılmıştır. Öneriler geliştirmek amacıyla tiny house’lar sosyoekonomik ve sürdürülebilirlik açısından incelenmiştir. Son olarak elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda daha sürdürülebilir bir kullanım için kullanıcı, yaptırım ve üreticiler için öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
