Determining the Usage of Under Sink Cabinets in Residential Kitchens

Abstract

In this research, it is intended to determine modes of use for undersink cabinets located in house kitchens and to determine the needs required in this volume of space. For this purpose 50 house kitchen undersink cabinets have been photographed while they are being used and materials-objects contained in them have been determined in Türkiye. In conclusion it has been determined that contained in the undersink cabinet are cleaning supplies (cleaning chemicals, bleach, vinegar, dish soap, cleaning bucket, etc.), foodstuff (oil, jarred food, food in plastic bags, etc.), small appliances and tools (oven-stove with single burner, toaster, small-large propane bottle, etc.), various utensils (plastic containers, pots, frying pans, trays, teapots, etc.), kitchen waste bin and water filtration appliance to varying extents. Of the undersink cabinets we examined, 40% has a single shelf within and 60% has no shelves. It was observed that due to careless design of the under-sink cabinets and failure to plan for the requirements, layouts are untidy and it was determined that the users use certain items such as cabinet door baskets, in-cabinet organizers, etc. in order to cope with this untidy layouts. Given the facts that oil and such materials as bleach etc. which stand side by side in the cabinet may react with each other in case of toppling or leakage, it might be suggested that such volumes must be planned very carefully and that users must be very careful against poisoning.
