Analysis on the Required Atmosphere in the Shop Space by Semantic Differential Method

Abstract

In order to create the comfortable and pleasant lighting environment, it is required to make both the function and the atmosphhere of the space suitable to the purpose of facilities using lighting installations.
Especially in the case of shop, it is important not only to satisfy the functional requirement such as the visual performance of goods, but also to make the atmosphere preferable. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop the techniqueproducing the luminous environment having the required atmosphere.
The problem is composed of the following two steps, which require new technical development.
(1) To clarify the required atmospheres in the space quantitatively.
(2) To develop the lighting method to realize the required atmosphere.
Especially in the case of shop, it is important to produce the required atmosphere. Authors studied on the factor analysis in the semantic differential method by experimental appraisal concerning the required atmosphere.
Consequently, it is clarified that the important factors are activity, unusualness, modernity and refineme
In addition, for example, the required atmosphere for the several shops are shown by using the factor of activity and modern ity.
