Abstract
Ex-post Evaluation techniques for the neighborhood traffic management should be able to evaluate the scheme from the viewpoint of residents' daily lives. In this paper, we applied POE (Post-Occupancy Evaluatio) to the ex-post evaluation of Woonerf, which is the evaluation technique being given attention in the field of architecture.
As a case study, we conducted POE researches in a housing estate in suburban city of Tokyo, where we introduced Woonerf about two years ago. Through the study, we found out that experimental approach at the time of improvement is quite useful POE technique, and that, because improving residential streets is not as same as constructing ‘ideal’ streets, subjective evaluations, such as questionnaire survey, should be managed carefully.
