A Case Study on Inhabitants' Evaluation of Psychological Effects of Field

Abstract

This study aims at clarifying the range of fields which influences inhabitants' evaluation of psychological effects of fields.
The evaluation on 11 effects was surveyed with a questionaire which was marked by inhabitants in Tsuchiura City. And the land around every respondant's house which is used as fields is measured to get “field percentages”.
There was comparatively close correlation between the following evaluations and “field percentages”;
1 the evaluation on the effect that fields admit fresh air into a house, and the “field persentage” within a radius of 30m from respondant's house (the correlation coefficient is plus).
2 the evaluation on the effect that fields relax persons with their extensiveness, and the “field persentage” within a radius of 60m from respondant's house (the correlation coefficient is minus).
