A Study on the Relationship between Space Structure and Staying Behavior in the Ama-Site Park

Abstract

This study aimed to consider the way of park improvement from the relationship between spatial structure and staying behavior, focusing on Ama-Site Park. First, we clarified the spatial structure from the components of the physical environment characteristics and the natural environment characteristics in each area divided by the park path. Second, by staying behavior survey, we showed the attribute classification, staying behavior, and staying place in each area. It was shown that staying behavior occurred remarkably in the covered plaza, around the facilities, and around the tall trees. Tall trees are an important factor that promotes retention staying behavior, and the possibility of planting trees densely to expand and induce retention space was shown.
