- Abstract
Anthropometric measurements vary according to the nationality, region, gender, age, body structure, nutrition, physical activity and even economic and social status. The comfort, physical health, well-being and performance of people can be increased by designing the equipment, goods, furniture etc. according to the human body and organs. This is important especially for students, who spend most of their time sitting on the chairs, benches and stools. In this study, anthropometric measurements of the students in Turkey were made and it was aimed to design school furniture according to these measurements. For this study, 187 university students (45 female, 138 male) who attend to Zonguldak Karaelmas University, Bartin Faculty of Forestry and who don't have any physical disabilities were chosen. Then, anthropometric measurements of the students were made, percentage values were found and the ideal dimensions and design of the school furniture for Turkish universities were determined. As a result of the study, the following values were recommended ; the ideal height of the bench should be 44 cm., the ideal height of the desk should be 76 cm, and the ideal height of the drawer of the desk should be 60 cm.
