Discussion on the study of human-environment system

Abstract

Research on humans and the environment is usually conducted with a simplified model, but when studies include a living environment, the problem becomes complicated, so it is necessary to carefully examine the variables to be considered. It is also important to consider the problem setting employed in this specific type of research. Laboratory experiments alone are not sufficient for studies on any human-living environment system that includes increased subject satisfaction and comfort, and it is useful to use social survey methods and interview surveys. As variables to be considered in this research, there are several important keywords, such as personality, inter-individual differences, intra-individual differences, embodied cognition, emotions, and attention. Thus, for studies on living environments with a high level of consumer satisfaction and comfort, we made a conscious effort to consider the pertinent issues.
