A review on experiencing sense of place with virtual reality in the relationship of place and human

The aim of this study is to examine the spatial preferences of users in the context of sense of place with virtual reality technologies by considering the sense of place over real and virtual spaces within the context of human and space relationship. In this study, the conceptual equivalents of place are examined through literature and the relationship between human and place is discussed in the context of spatial perception and experience. The concept of sense of place is examined within the framework of human and place relationship. After examining the transformation of spatial relationships and sense of place through technological developments, experimental method is used in the research to discuss the purpose of human existence in the conceptual dimension of space for virtual spaces other than physical spaces. After the control and experimental groups were determined according to the technology interests and competencies of the participants, the spatial assessments in the context of sense of place were examined by comparing them with real and virtual spaces, the relationship between the sense of place and technology is discussed through real and virtual interior place fictions. In the study, where qualitative and quantitative research methods were used together, it was observed that the participants' spatial attitudes within the context of sense of place, who experienced virtual place with virtual reality technologies, were more negative compared to participants' attitudes who experienced place physically.
