Furniture
design is an important factor influencing the quality of life. Today, more
attention is paid to the comfort, safety, and health of the users in addition
to the visual appearance in the design of the furniture. Therefore, it is
necessary to make designs for the characteristics of the user who uses the
furniture.

The user-centered
design (UCD) is used in the interior design of all kinds of motor vehicles,
office furnitures, educational institutions' furnitures, home furnitures and
hospital furnitures, that is, every area in which the person himself/herself is
located.

In this
study, a general research has been carried out on the importance and necessity
of implementing “UCD” in furniture design, which has been rapidly increasing
recently.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Mobilyada Kullanıcı Odaklı Tasarımın Önemi Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Mobilya
tasarımı, insanın yaşam kalitesini belirleyen önemli bir etkendir. Günümüzde mobilyaların
tasarımında görselliğe ek olarak kullanıcının rahatlığına, güvenliğine ve
sağlığına daha fazla önem verilmektedir. Bu nedenle mobilyaları kullanan
insanın yani kullanıcının özelliklerine yönelik tasarımlar yapmak
gerekmektedir.

Kullanıcı
odaklı tasarım; ofis mobilyalarında, eğitim kurumlarının mobilyalarında, ev
mobilyalarında, hastane mobilyalarında ve her türlü motorlu taşıtların iç
dizaynında yani insanın bizzat bulunduğu her alanı düzenlemekte
kullanılmaktadır.

Bu
çalışmada, son günlerde önemi hızla yükselişe geçen “kullanıcı odaklı
tasarımın” mobilya tasarımında uygulanmasının önemi ve gerekliliği hakkında
genel bir değerlendirme çalışması yapılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

CAD, ergonomi, insan faktörü mühendisliği, kullanıcı odaklı tasarım, mobilya
