街路空間における空間構成要素の分析(物理量分析) : 街路空間の研究(その2)

Abstract

This study is to explicate Space-consciousness of street spaces objectively (Psychological-analysis), to develop a method how to describe the street spaces quantitatively (Physical-analysis), and moreover to obtain relation formulas between the results of Psychological-analysis and Physical-analysis (Correlation-analysis). In this paper (Part II ), the results of Physical-analysis of the street spaces are presented as the second step of the study. First, five Shopping-streets and five Residential-streets were selected especially in Tokyo district out of many streets investigated. In order to analyze these street spaces physically, photographes and sketches of the street spaces were collected and also the measurements of the street spaces were taken. Second, we divided a street space into physical elements such as Wall, Window, Street-trees, Sidewalk and Street-furniture. Furthermore, these physical elements were properly classified into several space elements by their attributes. As a result, it was made clear that Shopping-street spaces were possible to represent with only twenty-seven space elements, and Residential-street spaces with only twenty-two space elements. Third, we tried to make an analytical model for the description of these street spaces. The model was composed of the above-mentioned selected space elements and was named SYMBOLIC-ELEVATION. This model represented each street space skillfully without losing its characteristics and atmospheres. Finally, the quantities of the space elements of the street space were calculated to obtain the characteristics of the street space. In conclusion, Physical-analysis proved that the street spaces could be described quantitatively by the analytical model consisting of the appropriate space elements.
