Özet: This study aims to determine the acceptable range of spatial proportions by developing an effective space evaluation model. The model is composed of 3 steps that all utilize virtual reality to evaluate spatial perception. While the first and second steps use static images obtained from 3d models, the third step also employs animations to evaluate interiors with different proportional qualities. The static images are confronted synchronously by asking test subjects to choose the most pleasant one. On the other hand the animations are evaluated by using certain predefined qualitative properties of space including beauty, spaciousness, legibility, density, fluency and enclosedness. The interaction between test subjects and virtual models is obtained by the help of an internet site that guides the subjects step by step. The study both evaluates spatial preferences and various methods used to evaluate spatial properties. The 3 step virtual space evaluation model tries to determine the most efficient way of spatial evaluation. By using 3d models, it becomes possible to change only the parameters that serve for the specified research.Considering the findings of various steps, it has been found out that static images obtained from 3d architectural models give better results in order to compare spaces with different qualitative properties, while the animations provide healthier results while evaluating single spaces with predefined spatial characteristics but not for comparing them. From spatial point of view, it has been found out that the preference of depth, width and height were always evaluated in direct proportion to each other.
