Özet

Houses are spaces where we spend most of our lives, meeting our accommodation needs and reflecting us and our personality. The tunnel formwork systems are effective in house production. They appeal to the people in different social status varying from high-incomers to low-incomers from the city center to the peripheries of city. Based on such determination, the satisfaction of house user set forth the main line of work. For this purpose, six parameters have been ascertained to determine the user's comfort, by interrogating the comfort of interior space in the houses: The thermal comfort, visual comfort, acoustic comfort, humidity and moisture control and design quality. With the purpose of interrogating the user's satisfaction, four mass housing areas constructed with tunnel formwork system in Izmir have been investigated. These are: Gaziemir Emlak Bankasi Houses, TOKI Uzundere Houses, Mavisehir Stage I and Mavisehir Soyak Houses. After providing general information about all these mass houses, the surveys applied to the users have been evaluated. © 2014 Archnet-IJAR, International Journal of Architectural Research.
