The purpose of this study is to propose an index providing appropriate density of people in spaces such as terminal in airport, public plaza, display corner at art museum open area in elementary school and so on (we called these spaces lobbies and lounges in this study), where various factors change at a moment with people walking through to and fro and ones standing still here and there. We open have various psychological effects such as 「Crowdedness」,「Comfortableness」,「Activeness」. In this study, we call these effects given by another walking or standing people in a space 「The dynamic sense of density」, and analyzing mutual relationship between psychological effects and physical factors concerned with activity of people, we try to get index providing pyschologicaly appropriate density. The experiments uses video equipment to represent various levels of factors, and pyschological assesments are directly input into microcomputer by testees. On the same report named (part-1), we had experiments to propose an index in concourses. And this time we deal with experimental study in such lobbies and lounges. In addition to this study, we also had another experiments at a gym to represent simulated action by testees as assesments in a field, and then examined how 「The dynamic sense of density」 visualy given by video moniter is indeed matching or different from the sense in such actual field. The results are as follows. ・「The dynamic sense of density」 is most affected with increase or decrease of density, and in proportion to increase of density, we feel more 「Crowded」,「Uncomfortable」,「Active」. But such pychological influences in concourses are more remarkable than lobbies and lounges. ・The index of pschologicaly appropriate density will exist, roughly speaking, about 0.3〜0.5 (person/m^2). But this index change in accordance with randomness of pedestrian, percentage of standing people, and position of people, then we take such physical transition of factors into consideration, when we plan a public spaces. ・Experiment to assess psychological influences with video moniter is rather effective to substitute for assessments in the field.
