鉄道の駅前空間は、商業施設等が集積する⽣活の拠点となることが多く、街の顔として地区の魅⼒を左右する重要な場所でもある。地上の鉄道駅では、駅前広場の整備が進められており、駅や駅近傍の都市空間を対象に、整備主体の垣根を超えた⼀体的な整備の事例が増加している。一方、地下鉄駅は⼀般に駅舎や駅前広場を地上に持たず、当該地区における重要性は高いものの、駅と駅近傍の空間を一体的に計画する事例は都心部に限られている。本研究は、地下鉄駅の駅まち空間の概念を提⽰し、地下鉄駅周辺の都市空間の利⽤実態を把握し、周辺の大型商業施設や街路空間と地下鉄駅との関連性を分析した。都市構造や地区の形成過程を背景として、駅周辺の⼈⼝密度や駅までの交通⼿段に違いがあり、それが地下鉄駅近傍の商業・交通の機能の複合性に影響を与えていた。地下鉄駅に接続する⼤型施設は、施設内が通り抜けとして利⽤され、地上への導線として重要な役割を担っていることを指摘した。また、駅周辺の道路が、送迎空間として駅前広場と類似する機能を担っていること、札幌市と福岡市では利用実態に異なる傾向があることが明らかとなった。

The city formation around a new campus of Kyushu University is in progress according to campus relocation of the university. In the Organization for Promotion Academic City by Kyushu University (OPACK), which is an organization for promoting the city formation of the new campus and surrounding area, the author is cooperating to promote the city formation by industry-academia cooperation as a university professor. This research considers the relationship between the industry-university cooperation and the contribution to society by university from the point of view of mechanical engineering in accordance with the experience and information obtained by the author's activities in this organization, and tries to find the ideal way of the industry-university cooperation. This is the third report that introduce activities of Itoshima City, which has been performed cooperating with Kyushu University, since the City established in 2010. At first the outline of Itoshima City is described, it is told that a trigger of collaboration activities with Kyushu University was campus relocation to this city. Two main projects have been performed since 2010; the former is to support a research on the subject related to the present problems of Itoshima City, the latter is to support the events stimulating friendship between the citizen and the university staff and students. Both projects became successful. After describing a problem that maintenance of such a good relationship will not continue after the campus moving completes, it is stated that it will be resolved with a reason.

This study examined the impact of the Green View Index (GVI) and Sky Open Rate (SOR) on people’s psychology in Kyushu’s station squares. These elements, termed “Visual Landscape Factor” (VLF), were classify squares and analyzed using machine learning to assess their VLF. A questionnaire and factor analysis rated each square, exploring the relationship between these ratings and VLF. The findings revealed that urban station squares scored highest when GVI ranged from 6.3% to 12.1%, highlighting the significant influence of landscape elements on psychological responses.
