HUMAN'S SENSE OF TIME : AS AN INDEX OF THE SYMPATHY BETWEEN MAN AND ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Sometimes we feel the time shorter or longer according to the kind of our works and interest to them. In this study, we intended to examine the change of human's sense of time under the effects of the scene including the noise and green. In this experiment, subjects walked the decided course in order, evaluated the image of the scene and made experiment of sensation time. As a result, we found that subjects feel the time shorter in a comfortable scene, while it is longer in an uncomfortable scene. This study shows that sensation time can be a measure of sympathy between the place and people.
