Abstract
Kyoto is one of the most famous historical tourist cities in the world. The final goal of this study is to establish a design system for Machiya-Cafe facades in this historical tourist city. This paper focused on evaluating Machiya-Cafe facades in Kyoto, and the common and different points of the evaluation between Japanese and Koreans. University students from South Korea, who lived in Kyoto-city, and tourists from South Korea to Kyoto participated in these subjective experiments. They evaluated a number of different Machiya-Cafe facades in terms of “Recognition”, “Familiarity”, “Restfulness”, “Regionality” and “Preference”. As a result, it was found that the evaluations of “Recognition”, “Familiarity”, “Regionality” and “Preference” of Machiya-cafe facades by Koreans were common with those of Japanese, whereas the evaluation of “Restfulness” by Koreans differed with those of Japanese.
