A Study on the Planting Design of Street Tree using the Modelscope System

Abstract

The present reserch has two main objectives. One of them is to aid in the reviewof procedure and methodology of space design by using the sequential image gained throughthe modelscope system.
The second objective is to determine the psychological effect with the factors such as planting interval, size of tree crown, and height of the trees which comprise the street tree-planting pattern have on the pedestrians by applying the present system of space design function.
The results of the experiment carried out with a 1: 100 scaled down model are:(1) there is a direct relationship between the street tree planting interval and the size of tree crown, the most desirable distance being that interval which allows for the tips of the branches of adjacent trees to barely touch each other, and (2) the effect of the above factors to the whole is most evident when the trees are either tall or the size of tree crown small.
