Abstract
The Covid-19 outbreak has deeply affected many systems, especially the health sector. With the interruption of the face-to-face education model in the education system due to the pandemic, students faced many problems, especially the problem of housing. It has come to the fore that the dormitories are turned into quarantine dorms, the obligation to pay rent in the houses they live in, and the lack of sufficient space and necessary tools/equipment for online education in order to continue education activities in these houses. It is one of the most common housing problems. In this direction, in the research, “How did the housing problems experienced by the students of the Department of City and Regional Planning during the Covid-19 pandemic affected the educational process of the Planning Studio course?” intended to answer the question. In order to analyze the research question, in-depth interview method, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the sample group reached by snowball sampling method from the students studying at Bursa Technical University, Department of City and Regional Planning. The texts obtained from the interviews were analyzed in depth using qualitative research software and interpreted by establishing conceptual relationships between the codes determined by the researchers. In this context, it is determined that sufficient access is not provided for each student in the accommodation areas to the necessary equipment and technological devices for drawing, model and reporting, which are the necessary end products of course outcomes. As a result, in the distance education process, although effective communication between the instructors and students is ensured by using online platforms within the scope of the course, meetings are held at certain times, but there are restrictions. The problems that arise with the effect of the housing problem cannot be fully reflected in the learning outcomes of the course process.
