多空間デザインモデルに基づく座り心地研究の体系的分析

抄録

Person has spent most of the day in a sitting posture. In recent years, there has been a growing attention to the "seating comfort" researches. However, research topics are complicated and vary widely, it is difficult for a designer to use accurately design knowledge during the development of chairs. Therefore, in this study, "seating comfort" researches based on the literatures were systematically analyzed by the elements extracted and classified into spaces of element inter-relationship diagram using Multispace design model. Extracted elements were classified and discussed about change based on timeaxis. And, also the literatures categorized using cluster analysis of the extracted elements. From consideration based on the analysis results, researches about the human mechanism of seating comfort and long-term sitting analysis including the postural change have been proposed as non-research areas for future knowledge expansion.
