Study of Landscape Zoning Using Kansei Engineering

Abstract

In this presentation, Kansei engineering is applied to the landscape analysis of the historical town. Chofu area in Shimonoseki city was taken up as an example of the analysis, and the landscape is evaluated based on an actual photograph. The design that reflects the climate and the history in the region is seen well in the landscape. This shows a characteristic of the region. In the city planning, it is the necessary to unify such images in the regional landscape. However, some problems are frequently seen in such area where the image is not unified around some specific streets. Then, "Image held in landscape and image of the points it the region" was analyzed. Kansei engineering experiment is taken, and the results are transformed to landscape image maps.
