The lighting levels in the shooting range were evaluated and compared with international standards. The study was carried out in three phases: preparation, fieldwork, and evaluation. A grid system was created for measurement, and then, lighting levels were measured at two different heights (90 cm, 140 cm) and along horizontal and vertical axes. The findings indicate that the existing artificial lighting conditions within the shooting range are inadequate in specific zones, potentially compromising visual comfort, concentration, and overall athletic performance. Such deficiencies may hinder the spatial perception and task accuracy required in shooting sports. The lighting assessment conducted in this study provides critical insights that can inform design decisions aimed at enhancing both safety and user performance. Accordingly, the study not only assesses the current state of the facility but also offers a valuable reference framework for future lighting design improvements in comparable indoor shooting range.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışma, Mersin Erdemli Atış Poligonu mevcut yapay aydınlatma olanaklarının incelenmesine odaklanmaktadır. Atış sporlarında doğru aydınlatma, sporcuların performansı üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Poligonlardaki aydınlatma seviyeleri, uluslararası standartlarla karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma, üç aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir: hazırlık, saha çalışması ve değerlendirme. Ölçüm için grid sistemleri oluşturularak aydınlatma seviyeleri iki farklı yükseklikten (90 cm, 140 cm) ve yatay ile düşey eksenlerden alınmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, poligonun mevcut yapay aydınlatma koşullarının belirli alanlarda yetersiz kaldığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu durum, atış sporu yapan bireylerin görsel konforunu, odaklanma düzeyini ve performansını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Ayrıca, aydınlatma tasarımına ilişkin bu değerlendirme, hem güvenlik hem de sporcu verimliliği açısından önemli tasarım kararlarına yön verebilir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, sadece mevcut durumu değerlendirmekle kalmayıp, yeni tesisler için yapılacak tasarımlara yol gösterici bir nitelik taşımaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
