Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building01:26

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.
Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key aspect...
Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new environmental audit framework was developed to assess community day centers for older adults. Findings show spatial responsiveness requires integrating sensory, safety, and circulation cues beyond basic accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Architecture

Background:

  • Community day centers are vital for older adults' mobility, orientation, and psychosocial well-being.
  • Existing environmental guidance frameworks (e.g., WHO Age-Friendly Cities) lack structured evaluation tools for non-clinical settings.
  • Limited tools exist for assessing environmental responsiveness in community-based older adult centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a Delphi-informed environmental audit framework.
  • To examine spatial responsiveness in community-based day centers for older adults.
  • To refine an 18-item checklist assessing accessibility, environmental quality, safety, and supportive spatial features.

Main Methods:

  • A three-round Delphi process with experts in architecture, interior design, and gerontology.
  • Application of the developed framework to eight municipally operated day centers in Turkey.
  • Non-parametric statistical tests and visual-comparative synthesis with photographic documentation for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Identified item-level differences in flooring safety, color contrast, and handrail provision (p < 0.05).
  • No significant differences in total checklist scores indicated comparable baseline performance.
  • Configurational analysis revealed differences in spatial compactness and layout fragmentation between center types.

Conclusions:

  • Spatial responsiveness in day centers involves integrating sensory, safety, and circulation cues, not just basic accessibility.
  • The Delphi-informed framework shows practical applicability for environmental assessment.
  • Further multi-site validation and user-reported outcome integration are needed for generalizability.
