Being an approach for raising habitability of physical environments, reuse of buildings can be materialized in historic buildings as well as the buildings that has been witnessing near past. The present study focuses on the coffee houses that have been transformed from apartments in Zafer and Alaeddin regions in Konya, Turkey. Five such transformations were categorized in terms of spatial organization, and user satisfactions were measured for each category. In the questionnaire, responded by 244 participants, the spatial organization variables, the layout type (with long hall and without long hall) and the layout style (room concept and holistic concept) were used as independent variables whereas the dependent variables were frequency of use, preference of choosing a table, length of occupancy, general satisfaction and spatial perception of users. According to findings, the transformations that used room concept (with long hall and without long hall) satisfied participants more than that of holistic ones. Therefore, possible to claim that, users respond positively and originality of apartments are preserved highly in the interventions that transform apartments in minimum amount and redesign each room with different ambiance. The study is also important for its proposal of a user satisfaction measurement approach for similar transformations.

Fiziksel �evrelerin ya�anabilirli�ini artt�rman�n yolu olan yeniden kullan�m/ d�n��m, tarihi yap�lar �zelinde ger�ekle�ti�i gibi, i�levini yitirmi�, yak�n d�neme tan�kl�k eden yap�lar i�in de uygulanabilir bir y�ntemdir. �al��mada, Konya�n�n Zafer ve Al�eddin semtlerinde yer alan ve apartmandan kafeye d�n��t�r�lm�� yap�lar incelenmi�tir. Bu yap�lar i�inden se�ilen 5 apartman�n kafeye d�n��m�, plan kurgular� ba�lam�nda s�n�fland�r�lm�� ve her birine y�nelik kullan�c� memnuniyetleri �l��lm��t�r. 244 ki�iyle ger�ekle�tirilen anket �al��mas� ile, mek�nsal organizasyona ili�kin plan tipi (sofal� ve sofas�z) ve plan t�r� (oda ve b�t�nc�l) ba��ms�z de�i�kenler olarak, kafeye gelme s�kl��, kafede oturma yeri tercihi, kafede kalma s�resi, genel memnuniyet ve mek�nsal alg� da ba��ml� de�i�kenler olarak belirlenmi�tir. Analiz sonu�lar�na g�re, oda konsepti ile d�n��t�r�lm�� olan sofal� ve sofas�z apartmanlar�n birer kafe olarak hizmet verirken kullan�c�y�, b�t�nc�l konseptle d�n��t�r�lenlerden daha fazla memnun etti�i bulgulanm��t�r. Buna g�re, sofal� ya da sofas�z konutlar�n kafeye d�n��m�nde, odalar aras�ndaki ili�kilere en az m�dahalede bulunan ve her bir oday� farkl� atmosferde kurgulama olana�� sunan d�n��mlerin kullan�c� taraf�ndan da olumlu kar��lanan, apartmanlar�n �zg�n mimari de�erlerinin de korunmas�na yard�mc� olabilecek d�n��mler oldu�u iddia edilebilir. �al��ma, gelecekteki benzer d�n��mlerin incelenmesi ve bu d�n��mlerin kullan�c�n�n mek�nsal memnuniyeti �zerindeki etkisinin de �l��lebilmesinde kullan�labilecek bir model �nerisi sunmas� a��s�ndan da �nemlidir.
