- Through analysis using network graphs for workshops -

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between activities, needs, and components of a place, based on the results of a participatory workshop. The following were clarified. 1) Daily activities are required in the target areas, and the characteristics of each area were confirmed. 2) Through analysis using network graphs, participants’ needs were organized and diversified. We identified many ideas and related needs. 3) By comparing the quantitative analysis results with the contents of the places, we understood the relationship between activities, needs, places, and the components, which cannot be understood from the components alone.
