Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı kot pantolonun ergonomisini incelemektir. Çalışmada kot pantolonun ergonomisini incelemek, kot pantolon kullananların karşılaştıkları problemleri belirlemek ve belirlenen problemlere göre kot pantolon kalıplarının ergonomisine yönelik tasarımlar önermek için bir anket formu hazırlanmıştır. Anket 1170 üniversite öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin 614’ü kız ve 556’sı erkek, boyları 160cm ve altı ile 181cm ve üstü arasında, kiloları 50kg ve altı ile 76kg ve üstü arasında, 430’u düşük bel, 705’i normal bel ve 35’i yüksek bel kot pantolon tercih etmişlerdir. Elde edilen verilere ilaveten anket dört faktörde toplanmıştır: “sıkıştırma rahatsızlığı” (Faktör 1), “merdivenden çıkma rahatsızlığı” (Faktör 2), “gerilme rahatsızlığı” (Faktör 3) ve “arkadan bel açılma rahatsızlığı” (Faktör 4). Faktör analizi sonuçlarında; kadınların, 170cm ve altında boya sahip olanların, 60kg ve altında kiloya sahip olanların ve düşük bel kot pantolon tercih edenlerin arkadan bel açılma rahatsızlığını (Faktör 4), 66-70kg ile 76kg ve üstü kiloya sahip olanların sıkıştırma rahatsızlığını (Faktör 1), ve yüksek bel kot pantolon tercih edenlerin sıkıştırma rahatsızlığını (Faktör 1), merdivenden çıkma rahatsızlığını (Faktör 2) ve gerilme rahatsızlığını (Faktör 3) yaşadıkları gözlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar açıkça çoğu kot pantolonun bel kısmında gerçekten bir problem olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, tespit edilen problemleri çözmek ve daha ergonomik kot pantolon üretmek için kot pantolon kalıplarına yönelik bazı öneriler yapılmıştır

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE ERGONOMICS OF JEANS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the ergonomics of jeans. In the study, a questionnaire was prepared in order to investigate the ergonomics of jeans, and to discover what problems subjects had while using them, and using the results, to propose design changes to the ergonomics of jean patterns. The questionnaire was conducted on 1170 university students, of whom 614 were female and 556 were male, whose heights ranged from 160cm and below to 181cm and over, whose weights ranged from 50kg and below to 76kg and over, of whom 430 preferred low waist jeans, 705 chose normal waist jeans, and 35 preferred high waist jeans. In addition to collecting this data, the questionnaire focussed on four factors: “the discomforts of tightness” (Factor 1), “the discomforts of stepping up stairs” (Factor 2), “the discomforts of strain” (Factor 3), and “the discomforts of opening waist on the back” (Factor 4). In the factor analysis, the following results were observed that women, 170cm and below, 60kg and below, and the participants preferring low waist jeans experienced the discomfort of opening waist on the back (Factor 4), 66-70kg, 76kg and over experienced the discomfort of tightness (Factor 1), and the participants preferring high waist jeans experienced the discomforts of tightness (Factor 1), stepping up stairs (Factor 2), and strains (Factor 3). These results clearly showed that there exists a real problem in the waist area of most jeans. Finally, some suggestions for jean patterns have been made in order to solve the problems found and to produce jeans more ergonomically
