Abstract

In this study, we suggest that we should design living environment from the stand point of affordance for both humans and animals. As a beginning, we observed behavior of pet dogs, next had interview with some trainers for guide dogs. It was found from the result that there were some possibilities of increasing efficiency in training guide dogs by using the concept of affordance.
