This study was conducted to determine classifications for the planimetric design efficiency of certain public hospitals by developing a fuzzy logic algorithm. Utilizing primary areas and circulation areas from nursing unit floor plans, the study employed triangular membership functions for the fuzzy subsets. The input variables of primary areas per bed and circulation areas per bed were fuzzified in this model. The relationship between input variables and output variable of design efficiency were displayed as a result of fuzzy rules. To test existing nursing unit floors, efficiency output values were obtained and efficiency classes were constructed by this model in accordance with general norms, guidelines and previous studies. The classification of efficiency resulted from the comparison of hospitals.

Keywords: Fuzzy logic; planimetric efficiency; nursing unit floors; hospitals; architecture

Bu �al��ma, bulan�k mant�k algoritmas� olu�turularak, �rnek se�ilen devlet hastanelerinin hasta bak�m ve tedavi alanlar�n�n tasar�m verimliliklerine g�re s�n�fland�r�lmas� i�in y�r�t�lm��t�r. Hasta bak�m ve tedavi �nitelerinin kat planlar�ndan hasta kullan�m alanlar� ve dola��m alanlar� elde edilerek bulan�k mant�k modeli alt k�meleri i�in �yelik fonksiyonlar� olu�turulmu�tur. Girdi de�i�kenleri olarak hasta kullan�m alanlar� ve dola��m alanlar� modellenmi�tir. Girdi de�i�kenleri ile ��kt� de�i�keni olan tasar�m verimlili�i aras�ndaki ili�kiler bulan�k mant�k kurallar� ile ortaya ��kar�lm��t�r. Mevcut olan hasta bak�m �nitelerini incelemek i�in, verimlilik ��kt� de�erleri modelden elde edilmi�tir. Genel tasar�m normlar�, tasar�m kriterleri ve �nceki �al��malar ��nda ve de bu model arac�l��yla verimlilik s�n�flar� olu�turulmu�tur. Verimlilik s�n�fland�r�lmas� hastanelerin kar��la�t�r�larak incelenmesiyle sonu�lanm��t�r.
