    Gender and locality-related differences in circulation behavior in a museum setting
    (Routledge, 2009) Imamoğlu, C.; Yilmazsoy, A. C.
    The authors present the results of a case study conducted at the Sadberk Hanim Museum in Istanbul, which explored the relationship between gender and locality (being a native resident or foreign tourist) of visitors and their circulation behavior. Results indicated that visitor characteristics, particularly locality, had a significant impact on range and duration of circulation, but not on general patterns of route selection, such as the right-turn bias. Results are discussed with respect to the related literature.

    Visitor behavior in museum environments : an analysis of visitor circulation patterns in Sadberk Hanım Museum
    (2005) Yılmazsoy, Aslı Canan
    In this study, visitor circulation in museum environments is examined. The main concern is visitor characteristics and their influence on circulation patterns. In this context, a case study was conducted in one of the two sections of Sadberk Hanım Museum, Istanbul, in order to explore whether differences in visitors’ characteristics in terms of gender and locality have an effect on their circulation behavior. Evaluating these characteristics, the study found a significant relation between circulation behavior and demographics and underlies the importance of providing an effective and efficient museum experience for the diversified museum audience.
