ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4. Anthropometries and Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture In the behavior setting, the milieu is expected to meet with the human needs. The built environment, on the other hand, is expected to provide body comfort. Anthropometries and ergonomics are two sciences that deals with the relationship between human capacities and the built environment.
3.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.1 Anthropometry Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Anthropometry is the science that studies on human
physical dimensions, capabilities, and limitations. The term is originated from Greek: anthropos + metron “human” "measure"
4.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.1 Anthropometry Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture For the environment and behavior fit, it must be remembered that the physiological capabilities of people differ from each other. From infancy to adulthood and elderly, physiological capabilities changes all the time. Physiological capabilities also vary by gender and race.

ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.1 Anthropometry Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture • The science of anthropometrics uses data on
human dimensions and ranges of motion (how far various body parts can move). • Researchers usually measure subjects from a particular group (older, adult ,females), then calculate the averages. • They also study differences between groups (e.g., comparing young women to very old ones)
10.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.1 Anthropometry Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture There are two
basic types of human body dimensions: Structural (static) Functional (dynamic) Include measurements of head, torso, and limbs in standard positions. Measurements taken in working positions or during movements associated with certain tasks.

Vitruvius was a Roman architect (and author, civil & military engineer) who discussed about perfect proportion in architecture. Vitruvius’s studies influenced Da vinci to discover the rules of proportions between the parts of the human body.
13.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Da Vinci believed that the ideal human proportions were determined by the harmonious proportions that he believed governed the universe To him, the ideal man would fit cleanly into a circle as depicted in his famed drawing of Vitruvian man.

Sound control (acoustics comfort) is very important for design since unwanted sounds disturb sleep and create anxiety.

ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.2 Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Ergonomics focuses more specifically on people and machines. Similarly, this term is also originated from Greek: ergon + nomos “work”
“natural laws" Ergonomics is a science, which is concerned with the physical and psychological relationship between machines and the people who use them.
26.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.2 Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Main objective of ergonomic studies is adapting design objects for the human use. While designing objects, people’s capabilities and limitations
are taken into account. This helps to ensure that the product is fit for use by the target users. Reference: http://www.designingforhumans.com
27.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.2 Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Ergonomic studies also searched to find ways to keep people safe, comfortable, and productive while they perform tasks at work and home. Therefore, the goal of ergonomics is to design equipment, tools, job tasks, and the environment to maximize productivity ,efficiency, safety
and comfort by reducing worker fatigue, stress, accident and discomfort.

29.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.2 Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Ergonomics deals with different design scales varying from the design of work areas (including office furniture, automobile interiors, and aircraft cockpits etc. ), to the disposition of switches
and gauges on the control panels of machinery to determining the size, shape, and layout of keys on computer terminals and character height, color, and clarity on video displays. That’s why the field of ergonomics is also sometimes called human or human-factors engineering, engineering psychology and biotechnology. References: B. M. Pulat, Fundamentals of Industrial Ergonomics (1992)
30.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 4.2.1 History of Ergonomics Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture The foundations of
the science of ergonomics appear to have been laid within the context of the culture of Ancient Greece and Egypt. A good deal of evidence indicates that Greek civilization in the 5th century BC used ergonomic principles in the design of their tools, jobs, and workplaces.
31.
ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture Source: Wikipedia One outstanding example
of ergonomic studies in Ancient Greece can be found in the description Hippocrates gave of how a surgeon's workplace should be designed and how the tools he uses should be arranged. 4.2.1 History of Ergonomics

ARCH 114 Human and Socio-Cultural Factors in Design Lecture 04 Eastern Mediterranean University Department of Architecture In 19th century,
American mechanical engineer Fredrik Winslow Taylor, pioneered the scientific management method, which proposed a way to find the optimum method for carrying out a given task. His efforts to improve industrial efficiency called as Taylor's Principles or Taylorism 4.2.1 History of Ergonomics

years ergonomic injuries have gained recognition as a major in work place health. Ergonomics is matching the job to the worker and product to the user. Ergonomics and human factors are often used interchangeably in workplaces. Both describe the interaction between the worker and the job demand. The differences between them is ergonomics focuses on how work affects workers and human factors emphasizes designs that reduce the potential for human error.
