Mutfak Tasarımında Fiziksel Konfor ve Verimlilik: Yaşlılar

Öz

Birçok yaşlı insanın yemek pişirme gibi günlük yaşam aktivitelerini gerçekleştirmekte zorlandıkları bilinmektedir. Özellikle mekan büyüklüğü, tezgah yükseklikleri ve depolama ünitelerinin erişilebilirliği yaşlılar için bir sorundur ve optimum performansla kullanılamamaktadır. Bireylerin günlük yaşamın temel ve enstrümantal aktivitelerini kolaylıkla sürdürebilmeleri, konfor ve verimliliği artırabilmeleri için mutfak çalışma ortamının ve donanımın optimum tasarımı önemlidir. Etkili bir mutfak tasarımı için yaşlıların rahatlık ve bağımsızlığının en üst düzeye çıkarılması, işlerin minimum çaba ile yürütülebilmesi için, mutfak alanı içindeki tüm ana unsurların ilişkisi dikkate alınmalıdır. Bireyin minimum çaba ile işlerini yürütmesi bağımsızlık artışı sağladığı gibi kendi başına yaşamını sürdürebilmesine de olanak sağlar. Mutfak bireyin antropometrik özellikleri ve iş yapma alışkanlıkları göz önüne alınarak tasarlandığında birey minimum zorlanma ve enerji tüketimi ile işini sürdürebilecektir. Bu derleme çalışma yaşlı bireylerin mutfakla ilgili faaliyetleri yapmaları sırasında yaşadıkları güçlükleri, bedenin farklı bölgelerinde faaliyete bağlı ortaya çıkan kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarını ve optimum tasarım özelliklerini içermektedir.
