Abstract
A well-conceived system of internal circulation of users is crucial for the proper functioning of mixed-use developments. Providing for this should ideally involve both movement systems and physical design which together make possible the integration of facilities which is so important. This study is to classify the degree of integration of physical configuration and to evaluate these characteristics from user's behavior and the degree of user's satisfaction. The results are summarized as follows : (1) Combining in a compact physical configuration allows squeezing the building upward and using less site area. In physical configuration of three or more facilities (uses), whenever one facility has no actual functional relationship with the others it will become excluded from the other facilities. (2) The systems of internal circulation in configurations involving three or four facilities break down into the same relationships as those with two facilities in the configuration. (3) The relation between functional model and space model in mixedor multiple-use buildings can be found by analysing the correlation of functional similarity with distance between rooms. (4) The ratio of users who use both facilities in a physical configuration is higher where there is common space between the facilities than where there is no common space. (5) Those who made use of both facilities evaluated mixed-use buildings highly and desired that the managements of the facilities should cooperate more effectively.
