Abstract
Parks have various open spaces such as grassy areas and shady trees. These spaces are used for a variety of activities. On the other hand, parks are also expected to have the potential for static use, where people can enjoy their time and refresh their bodies and minds. We focused on reading activities as a program to generate such use in open spaces such as lawns and shaded areas. We divided the project into three phases and conducted practical trials. In addition, we explored the relationship between the library, the plaza and roads, and tried to find out what kind of measures would promote such activities. As a result, we found that the "Green Library" was better promoted in areas slightly off the park road, near the playground equipment, and on the grass. We also examined the effectiveness of reading to children and the presence of staff. The results of the study revealed more effective ways of introducing the "Green Library" and points to be noted for its promotion.
