Abstract

This study aims that how the physical conditions of the educational areas are perceived psychologically by the people in that environment. Also, It reports examination of educational areas using fuzzy logic in the context of prospect and refuge theory. The theory of “prospect and refuge” seeks to describe why certain environments feel secure and thereby meet basic human psychological needs. Environments that meet such needs will often provide people with the capacity to observe (prospect) without being seen (refuge) (Dosen and Michael 2013). Prospect and refuge theory has usually been applied to landscapes but recent works suggest that it could also be applied to interior spaces. In order to do this, the effects of the study area on human psychology are examined using fuzzy logic based on past studies. This study shows that; in terms of prospect and refugee theory, the way users perceive educational areas and the outputs of the system created using fuzzy logic are enormously similar. It is possible to create productive systems in future research that will increase this perceptual experience by developing sample educational area models that are produced as a result.
