Abstract: (1158 Views)
Objectives: Today, visual comfort is considered a fundamental component of man-made environments. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to all factors affecting it. The present study was conducted as a systematic review to summarize the factors affecting visual comfort.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted in national and international databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, BMJ Learning, Springer, and ProQuest. Articles were searched using keywords, such as visual comfort, architectural features, space configuration, interior design, physical factors, and lighting.
Results: Among 135 articles, the full texts of 19 articles were finally reviewed. Questionnaires were used in 53.5% of studies, while device measurements were employed in 21.4%. Physical factors were found to have the most impact on visual comfort, accounting for 51.4% of the studies reviewed. Additionally, architectural factors, space configuration, and interior design accounted for 25.7% of the impact on visual comfort in the studies reviewed.
Conclusion: The improvement of visual comfort can be achieved by influencing factors like physical elements, architectural design, space configuration, and interior design, which can lead to reduced errors, improved performance, decreased injuries from falls, and an overall increase in quality of life.
