Özet:

Increasing urban rent with the impact of neoliberal policies has led countries to

construction-oriented growth. Increasing construction activities and especially the

increase in the volume of the housing sector have made it mandatory to consider

sustainable development goals in building production. The aim of this study is to

determine the role of minimalist design principles in sustainable mass housing

production, to measure their contribution to the relevant SDG targets and to put

forward a multi-layered evaluation model. The research was structured with a

mixed method strategy and consisted of five stages: (1) systematic literature review,

(2) development of the conceptual framework, (3) collection of expert opinions

through two rounds of Delphi technique (n=56), (4) criteria weighting with Likert-

based Fuzzy AHP, and (5) model validation with Structural Equation Modelling

(SEM). The 13 minimalist design principles identified as a result of the literature

review were matched in detail with 17 SDGs and 169 sub-goals and a conceptual

structure was put forward. The impact of minimalism on SDGs is categorised in 3

factors: economic, environmental and social. The principles of “Functional

Simplicity and Efficiency”

,

“Human-Centred Design” and “Process-Production

Optimisation”, which are the factors with the highest impact on the SDGs, stand out as the sub-factors with the highest level of impact. In the Structural Equation

Model (SEM) analysis performed at the last stage, the structural validity of the

proposed model was confirmed and significant and direct relationships were found

especially between Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 (Sustainable Cities

and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Production and Consumption) with

minimalist design principles. The fit indices of the model were found to be

acceptable

The original contribution of this study to the literature is to relate the established

minimal design criteria with sustainable development goals and to provide a unique

decision support model for the housing production sector in terms of sustainability

at both theoretical and practical levels. The findings reveal how minimalist design

principles support the SDGs.
