This research sets out from the cycle of impaired belonging between city dwellers and the cities they live in and the weakened perceptibility of urban identity in spatial experiences as a result of the chaos and rapid flow of daily life in today's cities that evolve around consumption culture. This cycle is addressed with experiential mapping applications, which prompt citizens to take a step back and slow down their rhythm of life as a way to connect with their city. Based on this, it is aimed to reveal the deepening of the relationship between city dwellers and the city through experiential mapping, which provides a more meaningful and conscious interaction with the urban environment. In this research, the urban identity formed between urban space and the user was analyzed by image analysis, taking the Theory of Imageability as a basis. The application process consisted of three main phases and was conducted with ten students studying at Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Architecture. The research findings show that experiential mapping and semantic rating, applied with a view to increasing the visibility of urban images peculiar to Trabzon city center, enabled the participants to direct their focus on and explore the spatial components of Trabzon city center, suggesting that experiential mapping can be an effective tool in exploring the potentials and problematic aspects of cities.

İLİŞKİSEL MEKÂNIN ALGILANMASINDA DUYUSAL EŞİKLER: KİŞİSEL BİR DENEYİM ÖZ İnsan ve mekân arasında önemi yadsınamayacak olan ilişki vardır ve bu ilişki mimarlık yazınında sıklıkla beden ve mekân ilişkisi olarak karşılık bulmaktadır. Mekân, tasarlanmış ve bitmişliğin temsili olmaktan öte; onu deneyimleyen bedenle yeniden kurulan ve artiküle olan, anlam veren, ayıran ve toplayan, izin veren veya engel olan ilişkisel bir olgudur. Her bireyin bir mekânı deneyimleme serüveni, kendi benliğinde taşıdığı -kültüründen, geçmiş deneyimlerinden, kazandığı öğretilerden, amaçlarından, vb. sebeplerden kaynaklanan- özellikleri ile farklılaşmakta; her mekân da kendi içinde keşfedilmeyi bekleyen izler, uyarıcı/duyusal eşikler, sınırlayıcılar ve çeşitli potansiyeller barındırmaktadır. Dolayısı ile mekân deneyimi her beden için farklı anlamlara bürünen ve her bireyin kişisel özellikleri ile özgünleşen bir eylem halini almaktadır. Bu çalışma; beden ile mekân arasındaki iletişimin hangi parametreler altında şekillendiğini ve bir bireyin bir mekân içindeki yönelimlerinin nelerden etkilendiğini öznel bir metot yardımı ile sorgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda; beden ile mekân arasındaki etkileşime yönelik bir literatür taraması yapılmış olup, algısal sürecin bileşenlerini okurun zihninde somutlaştırmak adına bir mekânsal okuma modeli önerilmiştir. Önerilen sistem öznel bir alan çalışması ile desteklenmiştir. Alan çalışması, belirlenen bir mekânda bireysel bir deneyim üzerine planlanmış olup mekân ile beden arasındaki etkileşime yön vereceği ön görülen mekânsal bileşenlerin not edildiği duyum haritalarını içermektedir.

Space, beyond being a representation of design and finality, is a relational phenomenon that is reestablished and articulated with the experiencing body, giving meaning, separating and bringing together, permitting or obstructing. Each individual's journey of experiencing a space differentiates based on their own characteristics derived from their culture, past experiences, acquired knowledge, intentions, and so on. Likewise, each space contains traces waiting to be discovered, stimulating/sensory thresholds, constraints, and various potentials within itself. Therefore, the experience of space takes on an active role, transforming into different meanings for each body and becoming personalized through individual characteristics. This study aims to investigate the parameters shaping the communication between the body and space and examine the influences on an individual's orientations within a space through a subjective method. In line with this objective, a literature review on the interaction between the body and space has been conducted, and a spatial reading model has been proposed to concretize the components of the perceptual process in the reader's mind. The proposed system is supported by a subjective field study. The field study is designed to focus on an individual experience within a designated space and includes sensory maps that record spatial components predicted to influence the interaction between space and the body. Keywords: Perception of Space, Relational Space, Spatial Thresholds, Sensory Map, Personal Experience.

The digital documentation of existing buildings is particularly important when original construction drawings or reliable as-built records are unavailable. This study evaluates the feasibility and selected dimensional consistency of a locally registered Scan-to-BIM workflow integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry for exterior documentation and smartphone LiDAR for interior data capture. A two-storey reinforced-concrete building with unavailable original project documentation was selected as a single case study. Exterior images were acquired using a DJI Mavic 3E (DJI, Shenzhen, China), while interior spaces were scanned using an iPhone 16 Pro Max (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA) and Polycam v5.1.5 in LiDAR mode. The UAV images were processed in Agisoft Metashape Professional 2.2.0 to generate the exterior photogrammetric point cloud, and the smartphone LiDAR data were organised with this dataset in Autodesk ReCap Pro 2025. Both point clouds were then used as geometric references for creating a geometry-oriented as-is BIM model in Autodesk Revit 2025. To evaluate selected dimensional consistency, 32 independent field measurements collected using a steel tape measure and a laser distance meter were compared with corresponding BIM-derived dimensions. The dimensional comparison yielded a mean absolute error (MAE) of 29.56 mm, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 31.21 mm, a maximum absolute error (MaxAE) of 46.00 mm, and a mean signed error (MSE) of +29.56 mm. These results indicate centimetre-level dimensional consistency for the selected validation dimensions, with a small systematic positive offset in the BIM-derived dimensions. The workflow can support preliminary geometric documentation and general as-is BIM for a small existing building, but it does not demonstrate survey-grade georeferencing, full registration accuracy, modelling reproducibility, or general applicability without further testing.
