Abstract:

 While water has a vital importance in human history, it also has important meanings for religions. The importance of cleanliness in Islam and the obligatory ablution before prayers have resulted in the construction of shadirvan structures in order to fulfill this duty in religious structures or public spaces. In this study, the development process of fountain structures is expressed and a classification study was made in the context of the historical process of 15 fountain structures selected in Konya. Ergonomic parameters of the selected shadirvans were examined according to anthropometric data. As a result of the study, it was determined that the data of the shadirvan structures examined varied since there were no specific criteria and criteria for shadirvan design. Suggestions for the problems of shadirvans and the need to develop human-oriented potential for future shadirvans constitute the original aspect of the subject.

 Su insanlık tarihinde yaşamsal öneme sahip olmasıyla birlikte dinler için de önemli anlamlar taşımaktadır. İslamiyette temizliğin önemi ve ibadetlerden önce abdest almanın zorunlu olması, dini yapılanmalarda veya kamusal alanlarda bu görevin yerine getirilebilmesi için şadırvan yapıları inşa edilmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bu çalışmada şadırvan yapılarının gelişim süreci ifade edilmiş olup Konya ilinde seçilen 15 adet şadırvan yapısının tarihsel süreci bağlamında sınıflandırma çalışması yapılmıştır. Seçilen şadırvan yapılarının antropometrik verilere göre ergonomik parametreleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda şadırvan tasarımı için belirli ölçüt ve kriterler olmadığı için incelenen şadırvan yapılarının verileri çeşitlilik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Şadırvan yapılarının problemlerine yönelik öneriler ile gelecekte yapılacak olan şadırvan yapıları için, insan odaklı potansiyelinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği konunun orijinal yönünü oluşturmaktadır.
