KONUT SATIN ALMA KARARIMIZI NASIL VERİRİZ? KASTAMONU’DA BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Konut ve barınma genellikle temel insan ihtiyacı olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu da konut kararlarının önemini artırmaktadır. Tüketicilerin konut kararlarını etkileyen çok sayıda faktör bulunmaktadır. Bununla beraber inşaat sektörü son yıllarda yüksek ekonomik büyüme performansı gösteren Türkiye ekonomisi içinde oldukça önemli bir yer kaplamaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı Türk tüketicilerin konut kararlarını araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla önce inşaat sektörü ve tüketicilerin konut kararları incelenmiştir. Daha sonra Kastamonu şehrinde bir anket düzenlenerek sonuçları paylaşılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın sonucunda finans, yerleşim, estetik, içsel ve dışsal dizayn, çevre ile ilgili faktörlerin tüketicilerin konut kararlarında etkili olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
