Abstract

Nature and Green had been eagaly required in the high density residential areas of Megalopolice. The people are requiring more rich green space and some of them have made preservation movements of the green space in the plan of developing area. But now people found crowded park, when they visited a park to enjoy a quiet green environment. These demands encouraged the investigation of park use to find pleasant capacity. Finding a preferable capacity of a green space, the impression of congestion was analized with the amount of the visitors at the park. Two important results were obtained.
1. The impression of congestion were significantly correlated with the amount of visitors at the park. And 700 person per 7 ha provided the impression of congestion on a half of visitors.
2. The decrease of the amount of visitors provides more efficient impression of density than that of increase. This means that the decrease of visitors provides more desolate impression than that of real density of the visitors. The efficient correlation was not observed at the visitors to be overcrowed. At the time of over capacity, the visitors are inable to justifytheir density.
