| Abstract |
Emphasis has recently been laid on the importance of street space that constitutes urban space in stimulating and strengthening the functions of the downtown area. In most urban areas, however, street space has deteriorated so much that it reveals barrenness. This situation is owing not to the lack of proper understanding about the importance of street space planning, but to the paucity of accumulated study on the correlation between the spatial consciousness of man as the subject of a street space evaluation on the one hand and the constituent elements as the object of spatial formation on the other.
District unit planning is a social system that is concerned with developing street space. It maps out ideal urban space for better urban environment. It also aims to better utilize urban space in accordance with the size and complexity of a city.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the correlation between urban planning control elements regulating constituent elements of street space and the structure of man's psychological evaluation of the streetscape. It explores the influence of physical regulatory elements on the streetscape, thus providing basic data and guidelines for planning a better streetscape. It makes a psychological analysis of different applications of controlling elements by employing a semantic differential method and a CG simulation.
The procedure of my research is first to choose adjectival pairs that describe street space through bibliographical study and preliminary survey, and then to select physical regulatory elements concerning district unit planning. My study also shows the influence of the design control elements of district unit planning on the streetscape, by experimenting with those elements by means of CG simulation. It examines variables on the axis of psychological factors according to the variation of regulatory elements and the degree of the influence of those variables. |
