Development and Utilizationin of KANSEI Design System for Designing of Coastal Landscape

Abstract

This paper explores the evaluating system of coastal landscape by using the KANSEI engineering as well as the social sciences to collect data for the landscape data base. The system have been found to be useful in designing and evaluating of coastal landscape with various types of beach protection works such as detached breakwaters and submerged artificial reefs. The landscape KANSEI design systemconsists of the coastal landscape data base and Kansei designing system in whichprincipal component analysis was introduced. The system was applied to the actual castal improvement works for shore, and it was shown that the system is also very useful to get the agreement formation for the design at the citizens' participation in municipal general affairs.
