Abstract

The study focused on pedestrian space consist of lower part of the building and sidewalk space. This study aimed to consider the prospects for the landscape formation of Midosuji avenue by analyzing that visual characteristics and clarifying the differences. First, based on the impression evaluation, principal component analysis and cluster analyses were performed. The first factor was interpreted as the “sophisticatedness” and the second factor as the “static-dynamic”. Second, in classifying landscape photographs, six types were shown. Third, the relationship between the types of landscape photography and landscape components was analyzed. In conclusion, it was found that the pedestrian space consisting of sidewalk and setback spaces has an effect on “sophisticatedness” and “static-dynamic”. Also, if the ratio of glass in the building facade is high, it was shown that it tended to be an element that affects the impression of “sophisticatedness”. If the ratio of green on the private side is high, it was shown that it tended to be an element that affects the impression of “sophisticatedness”. In addition, a correspondence relationship was also shown that tended to be “static” that tree heights were uniform, and “dynamic” that tree heights were uneven.
