Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological disorder characterized
by impaired social interaction and communication with stereotyped
and repetitive behaviours. Due to their different perceptions of the
environment, designing a suitable space as a rehabilitation centre
that causes place attachment is an important issue for them. The
term ‘attachment to a place’ indicates the emotional impact of
a place to which people are emotionally and culturally attracted.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that
increase attachment to the location of autistic children in outdoor
rehabilitation centres. In this study, which was conducted by
secondary and primary methods, 200 parents of autistic children
were surveyed using a questionnaire made by the researcher. After
identifying the factors by performing heuristic factor analysis, the
agents were named. Thus, the first factor is determined as the
spatial perception caused by sight, the second factor as the use of
the sense of smell, the third factor as the use of the sense of taste,
the fourth factor as the stimulation and touch pleasure and the fifth
factor as the use of the sense of hearing. According to the research
findings, it could be suggested that the most important factor in
place attachment in these children is the spatial perception factor
resulting from the visual activity, which covers 14.30% of the total
score of place attachment.
