Sergi mekanlarında ziyaretçi dolaşımı için bir simulasyon uygulaması

The layout of the exhibit elements in an exhibition environment affects the visitor behaviorwhose receptivity and time are limited. This study proposes a simulation application for visitorcirculation in exhibition environments in order to increase the number of visual contacts andactive engagements received by each exhibit element. Consequently, the interior designerdelivers an increase in the quality of the exhibition environment. The calculations of theproposed simulation application are based on the data that are collected from the previousliterature related to visitor and exhibit element characteristics. The parameters of visitorcharacteristics involve the interest level, visit plans and fatigue level of visitors. The parametersof exhibit element characteristics involve the physical dimensions, viewing distance, attractionindex and holding power of exhibit elements. In order to assess the functionality of the proposedsimulation application, an example simulation of an exhibition environment is conducted. In thesimulation of an exhibition environment, while all the input parameters are kept constant, thechange in the layout of the exhibit elements resulted in different visitor circulation patterns anddifferent visual contact and active engagement outcomes for each exhibit element. Observingand evaluating the various outputs of the simulation application that involve changes in thelayout of exhibit elements might help a designer in judging his/her design decisions more clearly.Additionally, comparing the simulation application outputs of design alternatives might help thedesigner to prevent possible design errors in his/her exhibition layout.
