Effects of Auditory and Visual Setup on the Perception of Space
Abstract
People perceive, understand, and read the environment through the senses. Vision and hearing, the two most effective senses in sensing space, provide much more effective and lasting information. The mechanism of action of eyesight and hearing and the determination of the factors affecting these senses are especially important in terms of space design. The study, it is aimed to reveal how and to what extent the visual and hearing sensations affect space design in isolation and together. In this way, the contribution of auditory and visual information to improving the human space experience was investigated. To determine this, the positive and negative effects of the auditory and visual information experienced by people were observed. In the study, One-to-one and collective survey method was followed. The application was carried out with 9 sound and 9 visual materials. Sound, visual materials, and a standard questionnaire were applied to 271 participants. As a result of the study, it was revealed that different combinations of sound, image, and the combination of both are effective on people's perception of space and under what conditions the effect occurs.
