| Beschreibung: | This research examines how human behavior, particularly negative student behavior such as vandalism, dismantling, and scratching, affects the aesthetic performance of finishing materials in school buildings, which is contrary to the purpose of education and teaching. It aims to help architects select materials that can better withstand such behaviors, ensuring the durability of buildings by maintaining their boundaries with the surrounding environment. Performance evaluation plays a key role in determining the suitability of finishing materials under these conditions. The research problem is the "lack of a local study addressing the impact of negative behavior on the aesthetic performance of finishing materials in school buildings." The research objective is to develop a theoretical framework to measure this impact and assess the compatibility of these materials with student behavior. The study begins by introducing the concepts of behavior and performance, followed by a review of relevant literature to construct a theoretical framework with primary and secondary concepts. Two local primary school projects were analyzed using specific analytical and measurement methods. A combination of descriptive, analytical, and experimental approaches was adopted, during which samples of finishing materials—such as granite, mosaic, paint, and ceramic—were tested. These analyses led to key findings and recommendations. The research encountered several constraints, including administrative restrictions related to school regulations, technical difficulties in installing cameras and collecting material samples, and social limitations. Notably, some female staff members were reluctant to be monitored by cameras due to cultural privacy norms prevalent in Iraqi society. The study concluded with several findings, the most significant being that finishing coating materials exhibited significantly weaker aesthetic performance against negative behaviors compared to materials like ceramic and granite. Walls were identified as the most affected surfaces, followed by floors, as both are easily accessible and often neglected due to their lower aesthetic quality. In contrast, ceilings showed no significant impact as students cannot reach them. Negative behaviors were most common in vertical circulation areas due to crowding. Accordingly, the research reached several recommendations, the most important of which are: improving the quality of finishing materials, particularly for walls and floors, to increase their resistance to negative behavior. It also suggests implementing effective strategies for managing recurring behaviors on a regular basis to enhance discipline and reduce undesirable actions over time. |
