DETERMINING THE COGNITIVE PERCEPTION OF DIFFERENT SETTLEMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE IN THE URBAN AREA

Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of obtaining directly from the user the factors that should be considered in the design, structuring, and rehabilitation processes of the physical environment. Real spatial environment was selected as the experimental environment. To obtain the necessary data, the Beck depression test was performed before the experiment, and the relevant measuring devices were adapted to the subjects for EEG-HRV measurements during the experiment. The main purpose is to physiologically measure how people are affected by different environments in the city; To determine the effects of the city on people and to reveal the cognitive effects of different environments. Users themselves were directly involved as subjects in the study. Results will contribute to the management of the user-oriented design process in making the urban physical environment more qualified. The study, unlike other approaches, aimed to measure two different environmental effects physiologically and to offer suggestions about how it can affect in practice.
