Investigating the Effect of Covid - 19 Pandemic Process on Furniture Usage Frequency and Consumer Preferences

Abstract

Our purpose of doing this study is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic, which affects the whole world, affects the park garden furniture. Our hypothesis before we started working was this; we assumed that people who stayed in their houses for a long time due to quarantine would increase their interest in park and garden furniture. For this reason, we conducted a survey consisting of 30 questions to measure consumer habits. Within the scope of our research, the socio-demographic data of 472 individuals with different socio-economic (Lower / Middle / Upper) levels were investigated for indoor and outdoor garden furniture and usage habits during the Covid-19 Pandemic process using Google surveys application. Survey technique was used to obtain research data by using social communication tools.In our study, we learnt that people's interest in nature had increased due to the long time spent indoors; and their desire to renew their park garden furniture had, too.
