SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON ACCOMMODATION UNITS IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

Öz

Accommodation structures have evolved throughout history from spaces that merely met basic shelter needs into environments focused on comfort, aesthetics, and experience. Today, this transformation is addressed holistically through interior architectural approaches that aim to establish an emotional connection with users. However, academic studies focusing specifically on the interior architecture of accommodation units appear to be limited and fragmented in the existing literature. This study examines research centered on the interior architecture of accommodation units through a systematic literature review conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using the Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS databases. The reviewed studies were classified according to their themes, research methods, types of accommodation, and spatial focuses. The findings indicate that themes such as perception, user experience, sustainability, and thematic design are prominent in the literature, while mixed-method approaches and certain topics (e.g., accessibility, ecological accommodation, and material usage) are addressed to a limited extent. Additionally, the studies predominantly focus on hotel buildings and room-scale interior spaces, whereas alternative and small-scale accommodation types are relatively neglected. By evaluating the literature on the interior architecture of accommodation structures from a holistic perspective, this study identifies current trends and research gaps and offers a theoretical and methodological framework for future research.

İÇ MİMARLIKTA KONAKLAMA BİRİMLERİNE DAİR SİSTEMATİK BİR LİTERATÜR İNCELEMESİ

Öz

Konaklama yapıları, tarihsel süreçte yalnızca barınma ihtiyacını karşılayan mekânlar olmaktan çıkarak konfor, estetik ve deneyim odaklı yapılara dönüşmüştür. Günümüzde bu dönüşüm, kullanıcıyla duygusal bağ kurmayı amaçlayan iç mimari yaklaşımlarla ele alınmaktadır. Buna karşın, konaklama birimlerinin iç mimarisine odaklanan akademik çalışmaların literatürde sınırlı ve dağınık olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, Web of Science (WoS) ve SCOPUS veri tabanlarında PRISMA yönergeleri doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen sistematik bir literatür taramasıyla konaklama birimlerinin iç mimarisine odaklanan akademik çalışmaları incelemektedir. İncelenen araştırmalar temalar, yöntemler, konaklama türleri ve mekânsal odaklar açısından sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular, algı ve kullanıcı deneyimi temalarının literatürde baskın olduğunu; karma yöntem yaklaşımlarının, erişilebilirlik, ekolojik konaklama ve malzeme kullanımı gibi konuların ise sınırlı biçimde ele alındığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak otel yapıları ve oda ölçeğindeki iç mekânlara odaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışma, literatürdeki eğilimleri ve araştırma boşluklarını ortaya koyarak gelecekteki araştırmalar için kuramsal ve metodolojik bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
