Abstract

Architects have difficult working conditions due to the profession of architecture and they stay in the working environment during intensive working hours. For this reason, it is important to improve the comfort conditions in the working environment for architects to feel physically and psychologically better. The aim of this study is to evaluate the comfort conditions in the working environment of architects working in Bursa. In this direction, 203 architects were reached and a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The questionnaire consists of 2 stages. The first phase includes demographic characteristics and the second phases includes questions about comfort conditions. When the comfort conditions of the architects were examined; it was seen that they were satisfied with the sub-factors of artificial lighting, indoor temperature and natural ventilation adequacy, indoor air quality, absence of bad odors in the working environment, seat ergonomics, equipment adequacy. However, they feel uncomfortable about the auditory conditions in the working environment. When the correlation between demographic characteristics and comfort conditions in the working environment is examined, the correlation coefficients are in the range of 0-0.20, indicating that demographic characteristics have a very weak or no relationship with comfort conditions in the working environment.
