Abstract
One factor affecting the degree of attractiveness of underground spaces is “anticipation” which evokes a desire to go ahead or explore. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors contributing to such anticipation. After local field studies, overseas field studies, and the experiments, we revealed that extreme anticipation points are determined by the invisibility ratio of space and are most influenced by the cross-sectional invisibility ratio of space. Extreme anticipation points and extreme anticipation levels were also estimated.
