Täituvust

Täituvust is an Estonian term describing occupancy or fill level—the extent to which a space, resource or system is filled or used relative to its capacity. In statistics and planning, täituvust is most often expressed as an occupancy rate, a dimensionless ratio or percentage that indicates how much of the available capacity is currently in use.

The occupancy rate is calculated as the ratio of occupied capacity to total capacity, multiplied by 100%. Total capacity refers to the maximum number of units that can be used or housed (for example, beds, seats, rooms, or processing slots), while occupied capacity is the portion currently in use. The complement, vacancy rate, equals 100% minus the occupancy rate. Different contexts may define capacity differently (design vs. operational capacity), which can affect the resulting täituvust value.

Täituvust is used across multiple sectors. In housing and real estate, it describes how fully a building or facility is occupied. In transportation and events, it reflects seat or attendee occupancy relative to venue capacity. In healthcare, bed occupancy rates indicate how many beds are in use. In industry and digital services, it can refer to machine or server utilization, helping to gauge efficiency and plan maintenance or expansion.

Measuring täituvust relies on varying data sources, such as registrations, reservations, ticketing, sensors, or periodic inventories. It is subject to temporal fluctuations (daily, weekly, seasonal) and may be influenced by definitions of capacity. While useful for planning and risk assessment, occupancy figures do not directly measure service quality or user experience and should be interpreted with consideration of context and timing.
