| INTRODUCTION47%(2.9 billion) of the world population were living in urban areas in 2000 whereas it is expected that 60% of the world population will be living in urban areas in 2030. In European countries, more than two thirds of the total population live in urban areas (Konijnendijk, 2003). According to the Address-Based Population Registration System of the Turkish Statistical Institute for the year 2015, total population of Turkey is 78,741,053. Of this population, 72,523,134 live in city centers whereas 6,217,919 live in towns and villages. These numbers indicate that 92.1% of Turkish population live in city centers (URL1).Rising population lead to an increase in urbanization. The number of people living in unit area is gradually increasing. Nowadays, people living in the cities spend at least 80% of their lives in closed areas (Güllü & Menteşe, 2007; Cetin, 2016). Indoor air quality is important for people who spend majority of their lives indoors. The decrease in indoor air quality directly influences people’s health and performance (Konijnendijk, 2003; Cetin, 2016). The studies of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) showed that the level of indoor pollutants can be 5 to 100 times higher than that of the outdoor pollutants. The influence of outdoor pollution has been known since the early 20th century. However, research dwelling on indoor air quality or the issue of indoor air quality came to the fore 30 years ago (Bulgurcu, 2005). Indoor environment refers to all the buildings that are constructed by people to separate them from outdoors with the intention of creating a more appropriate indoor environment compared to outdoors.
