意識距離の短縮効果を有する歩行空間の創出に関する基礎的研究

抄録

In today, traffic means diversifies, people is expecting more comfortable transfer. However, walking also accompanies any traffic means. In other words, walking is the basis of them and occupies most of urban traffic. And recently, Sapporo in Hokkaido, it is planning the city that considered environment and pedestrian. Therefore, It is necessary that comfortable transfer would be possible in walking space, as the walking becomes more important. Then, this study noticed that the possibility reducing the sensation of distance: “consciousness distance”.
In the place, distance perception of human in transfer is very unclear, and the main factors influencing that are considered mental state of human, weather condition, surroundings of transfer, etc.
Then, this study noticed surroundings of transfer that can consider in urban and regional planning, the relationship between consciousness distance and the surroundings of walking in walking transfer clarified. To begin with, we set six sidewalks as objects of the research, and carried out walking experiment. As the result, it was proven that the consciousness distance was greatly influenced by surroundings of walking.
Next, we set some underground passages as objects of the research for purpose of clarifying factors influencing consciousness distance. Then, as a result of analysis of factors influencing by Semantic Differential method and Analytic Hierarchy Process in addition to the walking experiment, it was proven that four factors: busyness, richness of visual environment, brightness, diversity of visual environment are greatly influencing consciousness distance. In addition, it was proven the relation that high total weight in AHP evaluation of underground passage coincided with short consciousness distance.
