Course Objectives		1- To research epistemological bases of environment-behavior theory and discussing the relations with space in architecture 2- To discuss the intersection between the human and environment in all spaces 3- Researching and discussing the relationship between theories of environment-behavior, people and space through the traces in built environment
Course Description		Human behavior in spaces and the multi-layered character of interation between people and space is the main issue in this course. The scope varies from individual to society, and the extent of environment-behavior interaction in all spaces are taken into account. The content has strong linkages with epistemological bases of environment-behavior theory that is examined trough the course. The research of traces in the environment through people, space and socio-cultural phenomena is another aim of this course.
Course Outcomes		1- To comprehend the interdisciplinary structure of the theory 2- To understand the place of the architecture in the epistemological base of environment-behavior relation 3- As a result of theoretical deliberations, to convey the theoretical acceptances to the design area 4- To contribute to the restructuring of the architectural theory
Pre-requisite(s)		none
Required Facilities		Laboratory Work : Space Syntax 2D / 3D Analysis support the issues in the context of the course.
Other		In the context of Presentations and Term Project, using Spatial Analysis Softwares may be needed.
