In recent years, in addition to the education and sport activities of sport halls, they began to be commonly used for several musical and speech activities, since those structures are available to serve large crowds of people. Most sport halls in Turkey are built as typical projects without considering their potential of use and activity-related acoustical features. The study was conducted on sport halls, the typical projects designed for the Ministry of Education (Code: MEB 2004.63), with the audience capacity of 70 people. Their acoustical performances are examined by the use of 3-D computer modelling and acoustical simulation methods with the software “ODEON combined 8.5”. The examinations were based on the Global Reverberation Time (GRT) at low (125-250Hz), mid (500-1000Hz) and high frequency (2000-4000Hz) ranges and grid responses analyses. The acoustical parameters used for the grid response analyses were EDT, STI, SPL(A), T30 and C80 with an emphasis on the values at mid-frequency band (500-1000Hz) and their cumulative distribution. The results have shown that acoustical features of the project are inadequate for education and sport activities, and multi-purpose use. Among the ceiling treatments proposed, baffle suspended ceiling proposals are observed to be the most efficient intervention in terms of acoustical improvement of the hall and material economy. The permanent interventions recommended are: “the use of baffle panelled suspended ceiling” made of 10-cm-thick rock wool panels with 60cm intervals and “the use of sound absorbing perforated metal sheet” covering the parapets between the playfield and the tribune. For the multi purpose use of the sport hall, it is recommended to use sound absorbing curtain modules in front of tribune’s rear wall, side walls, front walls and at the openings between the service and sports areas. The budget needed for a satisfactory remedial work was estimated to vary in the range of 4.5% and 6.9% of the overall construction cost. The results also pointed out the key concerns of the acoustical design particular to the sport halls.

Volunteers motivation and sense of community in a sports event
Yıldız, Alper; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Yıldırım, Sinan; Devrilmez, Erhan (null; 2016-11-25)
Volunteers are indispensable for sports events. Success of the event is related with their well management and coordination. It is expected that keeping volunteers’ motivation and sense of community levels high will affect both volunteers and event positively. Hence, aim of this research was investigating the perceived senses of community and motivations of volunteers, and examining correlations between sense of community and motivation of sports event volunteers. Four hundred seventy-seven of whom voluntee...
Perceived opinions of the sports high school students, teachers and managers towards the sports high schools in Turkey
Görmez, Gürkan; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Hürmeriç Altunsöz, Irmak (2016-12-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived opinions of Turkish sports high school students, teachers, and managers about the sports high schools. Participants of this study were 1283 (338 Female, 945 Male) students, 50 teachers (14 female, 36 male), and 26 (2 female, 24 male) managers from 11 sports high schools located in seven different regions of Turkey. Three different scales were developed and used separately for the students, teachers and managers of sports high schools to measure thei...
Evolution assessment of main stadium structures of summer olympic games: from 1896 to 2012
Madani, Nigar; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015)
Main stadium structures of summer Olympic Games are large scale structures which are specifically-designed to accommodate a very crowded amount of people and international many sports competitions of Olympic Games. There are many written documents on Olympic stadiums, however there is scarcity of knowledge on assessment of their physical performances/capacities and evolution in time based on quantitative data. The study, therefore was shaped to examine the inherent physical performances of those structures ...
Percieved opinions of the sports high school students, teachers and managers towards the sports high schools in Turkey
Görmez, Gürkan; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2009)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived opinions of Turkish sports high school teachers, students and managers about these high schools. In order to reveal the practical conditions of sports high schools, three survey instruments were developed separately for sport high school students, teachers and managers related to school perception. Participants of this study were 1283 students, 50 teachers, and 26 managers of 11 sports high schools in Turkey. According to the results, participants’ ...
Acoustical analysis of multipurpose hall NY computer simulation method: METU Northern Cyprus Campus Auditorium (NCCA) as a case study
Yılmaz, Tansu; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2005)
In this study, impulse response of a multipurpose hall, namely METU Northern Cyprus Campus Auditorium (NCCA) is analyzed and the acoustical quality of the auditorium is evaluated. Suggestions to increase the acoustical satisfaction has been made and to overcome the probability of bass-rise caused by the noise of HVAC systems, a proposal has been made to control low frequency sounds by introducing the volume resonators for the specified frequency. For the study, Odeon, which is used effectively in computer b...
