Abstract

Regional population growth, depletion of natural resources, and environmental problems have caused people to rapidly turn to mobile spaces that consume less energy and are environmentally friendly living spaces. These mobile spaces should be designed within the scope of sustainability principles and offer innovative solutions. Elements such as energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, use of recyclable and sustainable materials, modular and flexible design, minimalist life and optimum the use of compact space, adaptation to climate and environmental conditions, social and economic sustainability, portability and low environmental impact are essential in the design and production of sustainable mobile living spaces. Wood is a natural, renewable, and sustainable material that solves these requirements. When evaluated in terms of physiological health, the thermal balance of wood material, moisture-regulating properties and natural fibre structure, and its harmony with the human body are the reasons for preference. Regarding psychological health, the natural atmosphere it creates in interior spaces, its stress-reducing, relaxing and peaceful effects, its air quality-improving properties, and low volatile organic compound emissions have positive effects. This study investigated the physiological and psychological effects of using wood, a frequently preferred living material in designing and producing mobile spaces with sustainable alternative living spaces suitable for road transportation and transport, on human health.

Sürdürülebilir alternatif yaşam alanlarında kullanılan ahşap malzemelerin insan sağlığı üzerine fizyolojik ve psikolojik etkileri

Abstract

Bölgesel nüfus artışları, doğal kaynakların tükenmesi ve çevresel sorunlar, insanların hızla, daha az enerji tüketen, çevre dostu yaşam alanı olan mobil mekanlara yönelmesine neden olmuştur. Bu mobil mekanlar sürdürülebilirlik ilkeleri kapsamında tasarlanmalı, yenilikçi çözümler sunmalıdır. Enerji verimliliği, yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları, geri dönüştürülebilir ve sürdürülebilir malzeme kullanımı, modüler ve esnek tasarım, minimalist yaşam ve kompakt alanın optimum kullanımı, iklim ve çevre koşullarına uyum, sosyal ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik, taşınabilirlik ve düşük çevresel etki gibi unsurlar, sürdürülebilir mobil yaşam alanlarının tasarlanması ve üretiminde önemlidir. Bu gerekliliklere bir çözüm olarak ahşap, doğal, yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir bir malzemedir. Fizyolojik sağlık açısından değerlendirildiğinde, ahşabın termal denge, nem düzenleyici özellikleri ve doğal lif yapısı, insan vücudu ile uyumu, tercih nedeni olmaktadır. Psikolojik sağlık açısından ise, iç mekanlarda oluşturduğu doğal atmosfer ile stres azaltıcı, rahatlatıcı ve huzur verici etkileri, hava kalitesini iyileştirici özellikleri ve düşük uçucu organik bileşik salınımı olumlu etkilere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, sürdürülebilir alternatif yaşam alanlarına sahip, karayolu ile ulaşım ve taşımaya elverişli mobil mekanların üretiminde sık tercih edilen bir yaşam malzemesi olan ahşap malzeme kullanımının insan sağlığına fizyolojik ve psikolojik etkileri araştırılmıştır.
