activities and hosting guests. In the semi-detached villas, the kitchen is located on the ground floor and on the street façade of the villa (see Section 3.2.2 for floor plans of semi- detached villas). Some kitchens have an additional winter garden attached to the kitchen. Having such a visible location, the interior design of the kitchens becomes important. Moreover, kitchen is not a female space in the dwellings anymore, as 8 males stated that they use the kitchen for daily purposes. Kitchen is not just a space for female guests because it is used for hosting both female and male guests. So, in the current study, the kitchen has its place in the household a as living space. 3.3.3. Group Differences in the Use and the Interior Design of the Living Room This part is related to the statistical analysis and discussion of results that are related to the group differences in the use and the interior design of the living rooms. Differences in the use and the interior design of the living room for gender, occupational status, and gender are tested in this study. Before the analyses of group differences, Pearson’s correlations were computed in order to assess the relationship between gender, occupational status and time spent in the house. Whether a respondent is working or not working defines the occupational status. The data related to time spent in the house by each dweller was collected during the interviews. There is a significant relationship between gender and occupational status (r= 0.439, df= 58, p< 0.001). The correlation is positive, which indicates that the number of working males is higher than the number of working females (see Figure 3.19 for the relationship between gender and occupational status). Each 62
espondent had a unive university degree, the 6 males who were e not workin working were either continuing their educations or retired. On the other hand hand, the 19 females preferred not to work. This s could be due to the income level of the dwellers. ers. Working 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Not Working 11 Female Male 11 24 19 6 Figure 3.19. The relationship between gender and occupational status 19 There is a significant relationship between occupational status and time spent in the house (r= -0.389, df= 58, p< 0.001) as expected. . The relationship is negat negative, which indicates that non-working working respondents spent more time in their houses. Also Also, there is a significant relationship between gender and time spent in the house ( (r= - 0.291, df= 58, p< 0.005). The relationship iis negative, which means that female respondents spend more time in their houses. This result is an expected one because most of the female respondents are not working working, so they spend more time in their houses. There here is also a significant relationship between n age and time spend in the house (r= 0.452, df= 58, p< 0.001). The relationship is positive positive, which 63 24 6
