In this study, we focus on the outdoor spaces at Hiroshima University, examining students’ environmental needs and seating behaviors in three different usage scenarios: Ⅰ. staying alone, Ⅱ. interacting with familiar individuals, and Ⅲ. interacting with unfamiliar individuals. This study aims to clarify the design of outdoor spaces suited to various activities, not only for solitary stays and interactions with familiar people but also to facilitate broader interactions among students.
