環境共生型住宅レーベンスガルテン山崎のビオ・ガーデンに対する居住者意識

Abstract

Yamasaki Lebensgarten is environment-harmonious housing, which takes hold of the consciousness of its residents about the bio-garden that forms the center of its concept, and provides the kind of garden that the residents want. Approximately 90 percent of the residents were aware of the bio-garden close to their home, and they appreciated it. Furthermore, we found that 80 percent felt this garden to have a “natural atmosphere of wild birds, and pleasant moisture from the current and water”. Many people use this bio-garden to take a stroll and have a look around. The rate of interest among elderly people 70 years of age or older was high, at 90 percent, and we think that the residents have become used to the bio-garden. We believe the reason why the bio-garden was highly evaluated by the residents is that its setup and its intended use for daily life are consistent with the needs of the residents. Possibly proper management and enlightenment will enhance the value of its existence.
