The impact of interactive technologies in spaces on child users

In this study, it is aimed to draw attention to the effect of interactive technologies used in spaces on the development of the child, to draw attention to the design of spaces with this effect in mind and to the use of technology. A research problem approach has been put forward by considering the main field of interest of the study on the basis of interaction within the framework of the concepts of space, children and technology. Accordingly, answers to 6 questions were sought. With these questions, it is aimed to reveal the spatial use of technology and its impact on child development. In this regard, 17 qualified samples were selected. The examples discussed within the scope of the study were analyzed on the table in two parts as the introduction of the interactive element and the determination of the type of interaction and its effect on child development. As a result of these evaluations, data on interactive technologies that can be presented to children in space, depending on the periods of cognitive development, have been obtained. According to the age groups of children, a design criterion has been established for the interactive elements to be designed in attractive forms to appeal to different senses, to enable them to socialize and to be used in a way that ensures spatial integrity after the interaction is over.
