Abstract

Based on the collection of 539 questionnaires from different populations that people spend an average of 36 minutes a day in the toilet, which is 14 minutes on average for the toilet, equivalent to more than two years time in the toilet, so the personalized design of toilet has become a big demand of human beings. This study will take the toilets in the West No.1, East No.1 and Wen No.1 teaching buildings of a university as the research objects with personalized and rationalized design of toilets as the main research content. Through the field investigation and issue of questionnaires on the toilets in the three teaching buildings, the characteristics and deficiencies of the toilets in the teaching buildings of universities are explored. On this basis, based on the knowledge and practice of human factors engineering, environmental behavior, psychology and other related disciplines, this paper puts forward some methods and suggestions to solve the toilet problems in teaching buildings of this school.
