Abstract
Recently, structures with the flowing water have been constructed to create places for recreation and relaxation for citizens. On the other hand, the scattering light reflected from water surface might play harmful effects on visual handicapped persons. In order to deal with this problem, the handicapped persons only receive advises to stay away from water front areas by medical professions. The fundamental solutions of this problems on the basis of the engineering have not been clarified yet. In this study, we have investigated the characteristics of the scattering light reflected from the water surfaces, and have showed the consideration of visual effect to construct waterside spaces.
