Study on Fractal Characteristics of City District in Three-dimensional City and its Relationship to Environmental Cognition:

Analysis and Observation of Consecutive City District in Kiba, Koto Ward

Abstract

Since with the fractal dimension analysis is possible to quantitatively measure the complexity of an event and form. It is being applied to study of building and urban planning field. In this study, the research area was assumed to be along the Eidai-Street, Kiba, Koto ward. The relationship between the environmental cognition (cognition characteristic) and the complexity of certain town district as the physical environment (form feature) based mainly on geographical factor were analyzed by fractal dimensional analysis which uses shadow image where three-dimentional information is included and image-correlation. As a result, the relationship between the fractal dimension and environmental cognition was shown to be reverse-correlation. It is thought that the complexity of reflect arrangement, the form and the height of the building influences the amount of psychology in edge formation between the south and the north area separated by Eidai-Street.
