Abstract

The unexpected outburst of the Covid-19 Pandemic in December 2019 affected lives of all people throughout 2020 and 2021 all over the world. House usage and satisfaction dramatically altered after the restrictions took place and people were confined in their homes for long periods of time. This situation caused many homeowners to re-evaluate and criticize and even change their layouts and usage of their rooms, balconies, living areas etc. In this study, participants were asked about the existing physical conditions of their current houses, the problems they encountered during the pandemic and their opinions on changes that they would do to their homes if a chance occurred. Also, Participants were asked what kind of important issues they would take into consideration if they had a chance to move to a new house regarding their experiences during the pandemic
