This paper aims to consider the Kansei of the third graders of the elementary school to the public space through the analysis of the environmental estimation and the proposal by means of the use of the five senses′ icons. The method can be categorized into three stages, the first being the conduction of the fieldwork and workshop, organized as follows (1) “try to reserch”, (2) “try to encode”, (3) “try to survey”, (4) “try to propose” and (5) “try to criticize”, the second being the collection of the result data discriminated in quantitative terms in order to understand their tendency and the third stage being the qualitative consideration of the results.
According to the analysis during the estimation phase by the third graders of the elementary school, there exists a gap between the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the Motomachi area. On the other hand, the “proposal” is more related to Kansei rather than the “estimation” where the Kansei of the children concerning the public is understood as a continuous space among both areas.
