چکیده

امروزه گیاهان داخلی به دلیل مزایای روانی و ارزش‌های زیبایی‌شناسی، به طور فزاینده‌ای در محیط‌های اداری مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرند، با این حال اطلاعاتی در مورد ترجیحات گیاهان داخلی از دیدگاه کارمندان در فضای داخلی این محیط‌ها وجود ندارد. هدف پژوهش حاضر شناسایی ترجیحات گیاهی داخلی از دیدگاه کارمندان در بخش‌های مختلف اداری و تاثیر فضای سبز محوطه مجتمع اداری بر این ترجیحات می‌باشد. از آن‌جایی که ترجیحات کارمندان در فضاهای مختلف محیط کار ممکن است متفاوت باشند، گیاهان در فضاهای "اتاق مدیریت"، "بخش کارمندان"، "اتاق جلسه"، "اتاق انتظار"، "آبدارخانه" و "سرویس بهداشتی"، به‌صورت مجزا مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. مطالعه حاضر با استفاده از پرسش‌نامه تصویری شبیه‌سازی‌شده از فضاهای داخلی اداری، به ارزیابی ترجیحات 362 نفر از ساکنین دو مجتمع اداری (دارای فضای سبز و فاقد فضای سبز) در شهر تبریز، ایران، از طریق بررسی "تراکم گیاه"، "ویژگی‌های کالبد فیزیکی گیاه (اندازه برگ، ارتفاع ساقه، رنگ گیاه)" و "فاصله گیاه از میز کار" پرداخته است. داده به‌وسیله آمار توصیفی و آزمون یومن ویتنی مورد تحلیل قرار گرفتند. یافته‌های نهایی تحقیق نشان می‌دهند کارمندان به طور کلی تراکم گیاهی زیاد، ارتفاع ساقه کوتاه، ریز برگ، گل‌دار، رنگ سبز روشن و با فاصله زیاد از میز کار را ترجیح می‌دهند ولی این ترجیحات در قسمت‌های مختلف محیط اداری متفاوت می‌باشد. همچنین مشخص شد بین ترجیحات کارمندان دو مجتمع اداری (دارای فضای سبز و فاقد فضای سبز)، در رابطه با رنگ گیاه، اندازه برگ و نوع گیاه، تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد که تاکیدی بر اهمیت وجود فضای سبز در محوطه مجتمع‌های اداری می‌باشد. نتایج حاصل‌شده با معرفی برخی از گونه‌های گیاهی می‌تواند جهت افزایش کاربرد فضای سبز و بهینه‌سازی کیفیت محیط داخلی در فضاهای اداری مورد استفاده طراحان قرار گیرد.

چکیده [English]

Indoor plants are increasingly used nowadays in office environments due to their psychological benefits and aesthetic values. However, there is no information about the preferences for indoor plants from the viewpoint of employees in the indoor spaces of these environments. The present study seeks to identify indoor plant preferences from the viewpoint of employees in various office departments and the impact of the green space of the office complex on these preferences. Since employees' preferences may vary in different workspaces, plants in the "management room", "employee department", "meeting room", "waiting room", "pantry" and "WC", are separately examined. Using a simulated visual questionnaire of office indoor spaces, the present study evaluates the preferences for 362 residents of two office complexes (with green space and no green space) in Tabriz, Iran, through "plant density", "physical body of the plant (leaf size, stem height, and plant color) "and" plant distance from the worktable". Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that employees generally prefer high vegetable density, short-stem, fine-leaf, flowered, and light-green plants at long distances from the worktable. However, these preferences vary in different parts of the office environment. Results showed a significant difference between the preferences for the two office complexes (with green space and no green space) regarding the plant color, the leaf size, and the plant type, emphasizing the importance of green space in the office complex. By introducing some plant species, the results can be used by designers to enhance the use of green space and optimize the quality of indoor space in office environments.
