Effect of color on memory through signage systems in train stations
(2020-09) Doğan, Ezgi Memnune
In complex buildings, it is important to remember the color of information while finding the way with correct identifications. The purpose of the study is to understand the relationship between misleading information and color with the wayfinding process in train stations to compare different colors in terms of recognition. Recognition of color is tested according to false memory studies with misinformation paradigm. The experiment was conducted with six different colors; orange, magenta, turquoise, purple, white, and black. The participants were a total of ninety people of various ages and professions. The study was conducted in two phases. Firstly, they answered questions about the viewing conditions of their devices (smartphones, pad, laptop, and desktop). Secondly, they watched the first and the second videos that consisted of different sign colors in a virtual train station and answered questions that included images of the signage. It was found that there was no difference between different colors on remembering the sign color, misleading information, color scheme, location of the signage, color order, and color pairing. The colors included in the study were remembered in all considerations. The findings of the experiment can guide architects, interior architects and graphic designers who may be interested in sign design.

(2016-09) Duran, İdil Esen
The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between utilized signage types, familiarity and confidence in respondents’ cognitive maps in academic libraries. Besides, it is to understand the influence of utilized signs on wayfinding performance. The experiment was administered in Bilkent University Library. Seventy one non-architecture university students from Bilkent University participated in the study, which was conducted in two parts. The first part was a library tour which involved reaching two target rooms. The second part utilized a questionnaire which inquired about respondents’ familiarity, confidence in their cognitive maps and signage. The study found that although newcomers had higher number of wrong turns and time spent to reach destination points, there was no difference in hesitation. As in other types of spaces, wrong turns and time spent decreased with increasing familiarity.

Kentsel dönüşümün gölgesinde kaybolan apartman tabelaları
(Bilkent University, 2021) Ceran, Defne; Kama, Volkan Sarp; Polatkan, Arda; Eraslan, Semra Selin; Asuman, Eylül
Tabelacılık, Sanayi Devriminden sonra işyerlerinin tanıtıma gereksinim duydukları için ortaya çıkmış bir zanaat türüdür. Meslek, ilk gelişim sürecinde kısıtlı tekniklerle icra edilirken zamanla özellikle yazı tipi bilgisinin gelişmesiyle çeşitlilik kazanmıştır. Türkiye’ye ancak 19. yüzyılda ulaşabilmiş tabelacılık mesleği, öncelikle gayrimüslimler arasında yaygındı. Türklerin harf devriminden sonra Latin alfabesini kullanmaya başlamasıyla tabelacılığın Türkler arasında yayılmasına uygun ortam oluşmuştur. Böylece Türkler de zamanla tabelacılığın erbabı olup gelecek nesillere aktarmışlardır. Apartmanların arttığı dönemde ise apartman tabelalarında bir gelişim gözlenmiştir. Teknolojik gelişmeler, artan nüfus ve çarpık kentleşme başlıca sebepler olmak üzere zamanla mesleğin unutulmaya yüz tuttuğu bilinmektedir.
