JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper is concerned with an analytical research on product aesthetic durability that is considered as the particular indication of the broad concept of product aesthetic sustainabiliry. As aesthetic boredom is the opposite of aesthetic durability, the research goes into a comparative fieldwork on product aesthetic boredom to inversely approach product aesthetic durability. Indeed, this paper prefaces the fieldwork whose major outcomes will appear in the two following papers. So, it generally reviews the whole story, backgrounds, approaches and plans of the research, and specially introduces the process and results of an exploratory inquiry on product replacement before the products breakdown as the first phase of the fieldwork in detail. The results of this exploratory inquiry firstly illustrate the role of boredom in product replacement and finally lead us to decide the object and subject age group for the next phases of the fieldwork.View full abstractDownload PDF (2530K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper is a fundamental study with the purpose laying the basic foundation of package design studies, controllingthe risk as small as possible on the process developing new package designs, clarifying numerically the design factors of package design exerting the effect on consumers' purchasing activity from the point of KanseiEngineering. In this paper, a new general method to analyze the result of questionnaire surveys concerning consumer' s image of package design is proposed. This formulates numerically consumers' purchasing criteria on shampoo containers and fuzzy image of design factors on its package design expressed with linguistic image evaluation based on fuzzy logic. Besides, the mean and variance of these fuzzy design factors and the numerical measure of consumers' taste and distaste concerning its package designs are defined and discussed with the data obtained from Japan and Republic of Korea.View full abstractDownload PDF (2184K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis is the second paper of this study that describes the basic foundation of package design studies being able to control the risk as small as possible on developing new package designs, introducing the method to express quantitatively consumers' image evaluation based on fuzzy logic. In part 1, the design factors(brand name, package design, price, etc) of shampoo containers on consumers' purchasing activity are formulated quantitatively. From the point of Kansei Engineering, this paper clarifies consumer' image structure in selecting shampoo containers, applying factor analysis to consumer' images makes for twenty adjectives extracted from questionnaire surveys in Japan and Republic of Korea, and furthermore, analyzes quantitatively the correlation between these adjectives and consumer' average image marks, numerical measure of taste and distaste concerning package designs, which are obtained with the new general method proposed in part 1.View full abstractDownload PDF (2142K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this research was to investigate contents of the Policy of Ikigai for the elderly people, to consider from the aspect of the mental diversity of the elderly people, and to examine the direction of the future of Ikigai design. As a result of the document investigation, it was suggested that the Policy of Ikigai was unbridgeable gulf of one for which the elderly people hoped now. To clarify the lack part of the policy, the relations between the purposes and the contents of the Policy of Ikigai of 82 local governments were investigated. As a result of Quantification Theory 3,etc, the Ikigai support such as clubs for the elderly was the main in many municipalities. And, correspondence to Ikigai based on a free, personal action was insufficient. It was thought that it was necessary to correspond to the diversity of elderly people's sense of values as a direction of the future of the Ikigai design.View full abstractDownload PDF (1328K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn previous research, we called the cognitive structures of pattern design "Layer" and classified them into five types. The purpose of this research is to clarify the relations of five kinds of Layer and the differences of the character by the analysis method. The canonical correlation analysis was done using the evaluation values of the patterns and the image feature values of the pattern images. Two axes obtained as a result of the analysis were interpreted, the first axis was named Statistical evaluation axis, and the second axis was named Structural evaluation axis. It was considered that the two axes corresponded to the sight of overall nuance and the sight of form feature. We thought the sight of overall nuance to be evoked easily from the order of the analytical result. It was clarified that Tone Layer means overall arrangement of white elements, Texture Layer means overall distribution, Composition Layer means array rule, Movement Layer means continuous impression by travel of elements, and Detail Layer means easiness of elements to be caught by the eye.View full abstractDownload PDF (1149K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn ukiyo-e, which reflects and represents the aesthetics unique to Japan, the ideal dressed female figure in the Edo Period is depicted, and the features of figure vary during the long Edo Period. In this paper, firstly we chose some works produced in the Edo and the early Meiji Periods by eminent ukiyo-e artists, and categorized them into 6 groups. Thereupon, we estimated the body shape of the depicted dressed standing female figure, and made a quantitative analysis of the features seen in the female body depicted. Based on the analysis, we pointed out the following, 1) the transition depicting some regions of body with the lapse of time is noticeable while other is not, 2) the body shape of the depicted figure has a cylindrical torso without much constraction in the waist, as compared to the proportions of modern female adults.View full abstractDownload PDF (1413K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Korea, the development of design has started as part of the export promotion which is the principal target of modernization. There is no denying the fact that this development of design has had a great influence on the industrial promotion of the country. Moreover, this idea regarding the design development for industrial promotion leads to regional development. Design plays a central role in breaking away from regional policy so far aiming at the central part and in searching for the new power that can make a region self-reliant and autonomous, and as a main support of it, the Design Innovation Centers has been established in position. The Design Innovation Centers plays a central role in the promotion of local industry and the whole region while it is based on the design techniques as such a means; and it is highly expected to play a leading and active role in the network in which the region works in cooperation with local residents, industries and universities, etc. in the future.View full abstractDownload PDF (1372K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS"Munkha keori(Cultural Street)" has been constructed as the symbol street of region in Korea since 1990. This research focuses on the analysis of the physical form and use quality of pavement through studying the spatial features of "Munkha keori", field investigation of "Munkha keori" constructed and interview with the managers of the municipality. As matters now stand, as the rolling method of construction, asphalt paving and economical cement block paving constitute the majority, and pedestrian coexisting with cars, simplicity of construction, and economy have been considered to give priority. Unfortunately, just a little consideration has been given to aesthetics, regional characteristics, and harmony with environment. On the one hand," Munkha keori" are set in the busy streets that are the key points of the region, on the other hand, it is confirmed that events are being held in half of these places.View full abstractDownload PDF (3576K)
