Abstract:   (209 Views)
Introduction: Today, visual comfort is considered an important and fundamental component of man-made environments. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to all factors affecting it. This 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: Out of 135 articles, the full text of 19 articles was finally reviewed. Questionnaires were used in 53.5% of studies, while device measurement were used 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.
Discussion and Conclusion: Improving visual comfort can be achieved by influencing factors such as physical elements, architectural design, space configuration, and interior design. This can lead to a reduction in errors, improved performance, decreased injuries from falls, and an overall increase in quality of life.
