Abstract
This report is the experimental result how human motions in door opening are influenced by furniture beside the swing-typed door. Four factors (door-setting, furniture-type, setting-position of furniture, and scale of furniture) are pickeed up in many considerable factors through the human motions in door opening have been modelled. The relationship between these four factors and human motions in door opening is made clearly, and the character of human motions in door opening is analyzed. "Result 1" It is showed up quantitatively how four factors have been related to human motions in door opening. "Result 2" Human motions in door opening are classified to four stages by the influence of furniture. Stage 1 : regular motions (non influence) Stage 2 : human motions are influencd by furniture, but balance of body movements is similar to the one of the regular motions. Stage 3 : human motions are influenced consideraly by furniture, and balance of body movements is differed from the one of the regular motions. Stage 4 : most influence of furniture and the particular balance of body movements. "Result 3" Traffic lines in door opening are changed regularly by the influence of furniture.
