Building Performance Criteria Based Sustainability Assessment of Rural Mass Housing: The Case of Günyurdu Village

Abstract

New housing developments in rural areas not only address the need for housing but also have a significant effect on the region's social, cultural, and economic frameworks. The inability of these efforts to align with local social norms and the natural environment threatens both individual well-being and long-term sustainability. This study aims to evaluate the sustainability performance of rural mass housing projects from the perspective of user satisfaction by putting forth the levels of compliance with building performance criteria. Within the scope of the research, a mass housing project in Günyurdu Village, was selected as a case study. The survey conducted employing Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) method reveals the satisfaction levels of occupants with their housing units while providing data on areas for improvement. Results show that satisfaction with the housing units is lower than average. This work aims to contribute to future policy development processes for sustainable rural mass housing.
