JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study summarizes the results of a experiment conducted in order to assess continuous recognition of street space from the standpoint of individual differences. The experiment was conducted on a grid of streets and included 13 men and 6 women. Subjects were asked beforehand whether they had been so this area and whether they tended to get lost. The subjects performed a free walk for 25 minutes. Analyzing the protocol data on path choice, photographs taken by subjects when choosing routes, a cognitive map, and the path actually chose, subjects who had a higher level of spatial cognition walked around in a wider area than those with a lower level, becaouse the former grasped the overall space structure of a block and the latter didnt. This indicates that providing clearer spatial structure in a town and legible signs may extend the activity area for people with lower level of spatial cognition and may be an effective means of increasing the legibility of existing cities.View full abstractDownload PDF (1583K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper, we paid attention to the virtual city that is made of CG images, and tried to analyze characteristics of recognition while driving in virtual city. The results were summarized as follows. 1)It was indicated that there was a change of method in experiencing the virtual city spontaneously according to the effects of experience. In other words, recognition proceeded through gaining and confirming the information. 2)Subjects could not recognize the information about the pattern of the road, promptly. Precision of recognizing the virtual city could be enhanced gradually by repeating the experience. But, there were great differences between the subjects. 3)It is very difficult to recognize the virtual city precisely. We can guess this is because the narrowness of the space and the lack of attention to the buildings prevented them from behaving as they intended. Especially, it was indicated that a sense of distance was hard to grasp.View full abstractDownload PDF (1116K) -

Voysey insisted on the importance of roof shape as design element used a simple hipped roof, which was like the roof shape of wealden houses. In using the simple shape, the modern architectural critics have regarded Voysey as a pioneer of Modern architecture, but Voysey asserted an importance of the vernacular tradition to the fitness for the natural environment. The main reasons that the hipped roof was used in the wealden houses, which were the vernacular style in the Weald, South England in which the vernacular style in the Weald, South England in which Voysey took an active part. He considered the roof shape to be reasonable in the rules of netue. Another reason is that Voysey was influenced by G.

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe project shed light on the distribution of old cloth and cotton cloth used in rip weaving from their source to their distination in northeastern Japan, where the climate is too cold for cottonn to grow, in the Edo period, based on the literature and materials. The study revealded the following: 1)The cloth used as materials for rip weaving were first gathered in Osaka, around which they were produced, and then transported from Osaka to Edo, a center of cloth consumption. It went to ports in the cold northeastern Japan via the western shipping route, mainly taken by the Kitamaesen Ships, and the eastern shipping route, river transport to inland areas, and overland routes. 2)On the return trip from Tohoku and Ezochi, strained lees of mackerels and sardines were taken to Kinai, where they were used as fertilizer to grow cotton. 3)The secondhand clothing stores found at major ports of call played important roles in the distribution of secondhand cloth and rags as materials for rip weaving. In particular, the stores in the consumption center of Tokyo played a key rolo in the resource circulation and recycling system.View full abstractDownload PDF (1703K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper we evaluate a recognizability of elevator's open/close signs. Aims of this research are to examine which sign is easy to recognize among three type signs; English, Chinese ideograms, Arrows, and which factors influence recognition. A task of the experiment was showing a video-scene, in which someone tries to get on or off an elevator, so the subject should select a suitable sign. It was found out that [OPEN/CLOSE] is good, and [開/閉] is not bad, but Arrow sign is bad to recognize from the result of experiment. Therefore, we carried out door experiment to investigate the reason why [開/閉] was hard to be recognize than [OPEN/CLOSE] by comparing [Push/Pull] with [押/引]. The result showed that [押/引] was easier than [Push/Pull]. Thus, we can say that resemblance of the sign's shape is an important factor that influences recognition. And, we can say that adeptness to the characters is important too, from the result which English-speaking subjects distinguished better English ideogram, and Japasene subjects distinguished better Chinese ideograms. Also, we considered better: why arrow sign is bad, and the importance of showing a real situation, and so on.View full abstractDownload PDF (2221K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper is continued from the paper presented in the Bulletin of JSSD Vol.47 No.6 2001. The study makes clear strategic differences about the realities and the problems of design investigation and design patent application in eight manufacturing industries. 1. Design patent investigation is carefully practiced from the first stage of the design process by electric appliances and machinery industry. 2. The problem of design investigation is uncertainty of simularity judgment measure and searching of investigated data for patent application. 3. Both designer and company structure tend to be passive to utilize their own design patent, which already applied and patented. 4. The problem of design patent application is that the investment efficiency is getting worse due to the shortening of product life cycle and the tack of the strategic counter plan for the patent application.View full abstractDownload PDF (2591K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBefore Japan accepted the Western modern thinking, the Japanese words 'takumu' 'takumi' had been used to express the conception that implicates design meaning as a mental plan. This article examines meaning of the words from those original form. The etymon is not definite, however, it had been understood as '手組', which literal composition is hand-combiner. When writing letters introduced to Japan from ancient China, 'takumi' was made to correspond with the characters '匠' '工' '巧' and phrases '工匠' '工人' ' 匠者' etc. In addition, it became government post names or status of woodworkers based on the political system of ritsuryo codes. Consequently, the word estaglished to indicate a technical expert. After the Meiji restoration, the word became obsolete in colloquialism. Because of some alternative loanwords from Chinese took the place of it.View full abstractDownload PDF (1674K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA study was performed to understand how and for which subject computers are used at elementary schools, which are the first encounter with the information education. We found that computers are primarily used for CAI, computer education, research skills, and information transmission skills. Especially, research skills and information transmission skills are considered part of information literacy for fifth and sixth graders. Skils to process and express information are required at the final atage of information literacy. It means that a person who transmits information also needs to have a reader's point of view. Current art education focuses on creativity but it does not require kids to be aware of how the third person may feel or think about the work. On the other hand, the standard of the evaluation to such expression is not established. This paper will clarify this point and show the necessity to reform for the future art education.View full abstractDownload PDF (747K) -
