個人差および階層性を考慮した住環境評価構造のモデル化 : 認知心理学に基づく住環境評価に関する研究(2)

Abstract

In this study, the following requirements were set up to make the knowledge obtained by a place evaluation research viable as design guidelines. 1) The knowledge obtained ought to be a phenomenological representation of people's evaluation. In other words, if there are individual differences, they should also be clarified as a part of the knowledge. 2) The knowledge ought to be a statistically condensed and tested representation of people's evaluation by respecting their variety in the taste. In the previous paper, based on G. A. Kelly's personal construct theory, the evaluation grid method was elaborated to satisfy the first requirement. In this paper, to satisfy the second requirement, the phenomenological subgrouping approach followed by the facet theory approach is elaborated. The subgrouping approach is to reconcile the two seemingly contradictory requirements listed above (i.e. phenomenological vs statistical). The facet theory approach which works on SSA is to produce models of place evaluation by respecting their hierarchical structure. By combining these two approaches, SSA models of place evaluation can be obtained along the groups of people who share similar construct systems in their evaluation. An example of the application of these research methods on the living room evaluation is also presented, and the validity as well as the viability of the models obtained are discussed.
