Abstract

In this study, as an innovative approach, it is aimed to determine effects of demountable furniture on the preferences of residential users in Ankara. Demograhpic information and opinions of users regarding to demountable furniture were carried out with the help of a detailed questionnaire. 243 household users participated in the questionnaire. The obtained findings were evaluated with SPSS program. As a result, 66.7% of the participants prefer demountable furniture due to “easy transportation”, 67.1% stated because of “dismantling and assembly” and 48.1% “assembling in place”. On the other hand, 28.4% of the participants had problems due to the “need for a technician in assembling” of demountable furniture in their houses, 29.2% of them had “wear and tear of furniture pieces during dismantling” and 14% of them had “not being strong and durable” were determined. As a result, the diversification and strengthening of the fasteners used in demountable furniture with an innovative approach will contribute positively to the process.
