    Improving acoustic comfort in indoor environments esing eco-sustainable furnishings based on sheep's wool
    (International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations, 2024) Ciaburro, Giuseppe; Kumcu, Elif Hasret; Iannace, Gino
    Eco-sustainable materials reduce environmental impact by limiting the use of non-renewable natural resources and the generation of toxic waste, thus contributing to the conservation of ecosystems and the mitigation of climate change. Furthermore, eco-sustainable materials demonstrate a concrete commitment to sustainability, increasing the appeal of a brand towards consumers that are sensitive to environmental issues Companies that adopt such materials often enjoy a better reputation and greater customer loyalty Natural fibers are emerging as a viable choice for sound-absorbing panels in construction because they exhibit favorable thermal and acoustic absorption characteristics, non-toxic nature, and abundant availability. In this study, the use of sheep’s wool fibers as a sound absorption material is specifically explored through measurement and discussion of the absorption coefficient of samples with varying depth. Furthermore, the opportunity of utilizing commercial woven with various types of wool for sound absorption structures, to achieve this, modelled application of wool tapestries are placed at varying distances from a fixed back barrier. This study demonstrates significant sound absorption in specific frequency ranges, conditional on the strength of the rear cavity, affirming the suitability of wool tapestries for tailor-made acoustic interventions. The research highlights the returns of using sheep wool in environmental acoustic applications, demonstrating how the acoustic correction of an environment with the use of material based of sheep’s wool provides results comparable to those of artificial materials traditionally used.

    The effect of demographic factors on entrepreneurship tendency: the case of Aksaray University and Usak University
    (Aksaray Üniversitesi, 2022) Kumcu, Elif Hasret; Çetinel, Makbule Hürmet
    Entrepreneurship is influenced by the desire to achieve psychologically rather than economic motivations. (Yılmaz, Sünbül, 2009: 197) Entrepreneurship spirit and entrepreneurship tendencies are affected by many factors. In this study, the responses of students to the entrepreneurial tendency scale were examined in terms of demographic characteristics. It was observed that there was no significant difference between the two universities in terms of student’s creativity, their working methods and personal satisfaction, which are the three sub-dimensions of the entrepreneurship tendency. There was no significant difference among the genders in terms of working method and personal satisfaction. However, there was a significant difference between the genders in terms of creativity. We found that there was a significant difference between the first year and the second year of study among the creativity and personal satisfaction sub-dimensions. This could be cause that the students are better adapted to the university life and they could develop better ideas about business life with realistic plans. No significant difference was found among the income groups in terms of entrepreneurship tendency. This might be caused by the proximity of the income groups.

    The relationship between five-factor personality traits and social entrepreneurship tendency: the case of university students
    (Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi, 2022) Kumcu, Elif Hasret; Çetinel, Makbule Hürmet
    While some entrepreneurs make an initiative driven by a strong desire to make money, others motivated by the social benefit which they provide. Social entrepreneurs' personality traits are different from other entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs possess all the abilities of a successful entrepreneur, as well as a strong desire for change. They work to maximize social benefit in collective activities. They have a strong sense of social justice. Social entrepreneurs are confident, energetic, and they are capable of persuading others to participate in their ventures easily. The ability to develop a strong network can be considered as one of the important characteristics of visionary social entrepreneurs. Also, social entrepreneurs create superior value for their target audience. In this study, the relationship between the five-factor personality traits of Turkish college students and their social entrepreneurship tendencies were investigated. A comprehensive questionnaire was used to measure the five-factor personality traits and the social entrepreneurship tendencies of 229 college students in Uşak and Aksaray Universities.According to the findings; there is a significant relationship between the sub-dimensions of extraversion, compatibility, responsibility, openness to experiences, and the tendency of social entrepreneurship.

    Using soundscape to design branded environments
    (IGI Global, 2024) Ciaburro, Giuseppe; Kumcu, Elif Hasret
    This study examines the implementation of soundscape in shopping centers for amplifying the branding experience, generating a distinctive and immersive atmosphere dubbed Brandscape. Visual aesthetics historically influenced commercial venue layout and branding, but recent discussions emphasize sound's impact on consumer attitudes and buying behaviors. Integrating soundscape elements into shopping centers provides a distinctive approach to creating a memorable brand identity. By purposefully crafting the acoustic atmosphere, vendors can evoke emotions, reinforce brand ideals, and cultivate a deeper connection with their target customers. Our study delves into the key principles of effective Brandscape design through the integration of soundscape in shopping centers. The study examines the psychological effect of sound on consumer behavior and investigates how different auditory stimuli can impact mood, arousal, and attention. Furthermore, it emphasizes the significance of preserving coherence between the brand's visual identity and the chosen soundscape, resulting in a unified and all-encompassing sensory encounter for consumers.
