Sažetak
Considering the design of schools is of utmost importance, especially in the early stages of education. When evaluating pre-schools in Lefkoşa, North Cyprus, we see that the emphasis is on providing classical design standards rather than modern standards. The common standards of global school design standards were collected and harmonized to form the criteria for the study under the title of “Eco-Friendly School Criteria” (EFSC) and then harmonized in the form of a questionnaire that was followed in the re-evaluation process of four public schools in Lefkoşa, North Cyprus. The aim of this study is to show the importance of increasing the scope of knowledge in North Cyprus about the concept of pre-school design, and to re-evaluate it to consider the extent to which the current design of schools conforms to the EFSC standards while taking into account local standards. The results showed that the average compliance rate of these schools with the EFSC standards is 68/110, which indicates a lack in providing a sustainable and comfortable learning environment for the user, including people with disabilities, to make them feel a sense of belonging to the place.
