Abstract

When consumers choose the flooring and other interior furnishings that make up their living spaces, they often fail to create spaces that track the manner in which they visualized them. If flooring materials and living spaces that exhibit a high degree of affinity from a sensitivity evaluation standpoint could be linked, it is likely that it would be possible to propose flooring materials and living spaces that have similar sensitivity evaluations, enabling consumers to choose products that would more reliably please them. The objective of this research was to clarify the relationship between flooring materials and living spaces from a sensitivity evaluation standpoint. We conducted a correspondence analysis based on the classification of various flooring materials and living spaces in impression evaluations performed by a group of subjects and succeeded in indicating proximity to their respective impressions. The technique utilized in this research promises to increase consumers' satisfaction.
