    Evaluation of noise control in industrial buildings through simulations
    (Josip Juraj Strossmayer Univ Osijek, Fac Civil Engn & Architecture Osijek, 2025) Simsek, Okan
    The most common detrimental effect of noise among workers in industrial facilities is permanent hearing loss. In the literature review, it was found that the combined effect of increasing the total sound absorption and noise barriers on noise control in industrial buildings has not been analysed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the combined effect of these parameters depending on the total sound absorption in the volume, noise barrier and the total absorption of the noise barrier in industrial buildings by comparing the noise reduction levels through acoustic measurements and acoustic simulation results in an existing industrial facility and to provide information that will enable the production of guiding information and method development on the design and applications of related areas. Within the scope of the method applied in the study, acoustic measurements were made in the relevant industrial building and scenarios developed for the industrial building were modelled in computer environment. The results of the study show through tables, graphs and noise maps that it is necessary to develop optimum solutions by analysing the combined effect of these parameters depending on the total sound absorption, the noise barrier and the total sound absorption of the noise barrier.

    In Pursuit of Sustainable Well-Being: Articulating Place Attachment Through Multi-Sensory Spatial Qualities in Campus Environments
    (MDPI, 2026) Simsek, Okan; Kara, Ecem
    Place attachment refers to the meaningful ties between individuals and their environments. In educational settings, multi-sensory spatial qualities enhance spatial experience and support long-term well-being. Yet, the relationship between place attachment and spatial qualities has not been sufficiently articulated from a sustainability perspective. This study investigates the associations between sensory spatial qualities and place attachment in educational settings. Accordingly, the study aims to achieve the following: (1) determine students' place attachment scores, (2) assess multi-sensory spatial qualities in educational spaces, and (3) examine their relationship to support sustainable well-being. The empirical phase employs synchronic methodology conducted with 70 architecture students in the educational spaces of the Department of Architecture at ATU. Place attachment scores were measured via the Place Attachment to University Scale, and sensory spatial qualities were recorded on-site. The relationship is analyzed through Spearman's correlation, linear regression, and hierarchical regression analyses. Spearman's correlation indicates significant associations between place attachment and thermal (r = 0.312; p = 0.0086) and visual (r = -0.297; p = 0.0124) qualities. Multiple linear regression shows that thermal (beta = 0.466; p = 0.001) and visual qualities (beta = -0.0016; p < 0.001) are associated with place attachment. Hierarchical regression reveals that adding multi-sensory spatial variables results in a significant increase in explained variance (Delta R-2 = 0.118; p < 0.001) beyond exposure-related factors (R-2 = 0.685). These findings demonstrate the contribution of multi-sensory spatial quality to sustainable well-being and its alignment with sustainability-oriented educational environments.
