| Abstract |
The ultimate goal of this study was to plan an exhibition space of a museum by investigating the audience behaviors and experiences in one. The analysis results were as follows : First, the audience behaviors were examined for correlations. The findings revealed that the stopping points and traveling distance and time were valid as the analysis indices to represent the entire audience behaviors. Second, for such audience behaviors as representing conversations and experiences, the inclination of individual audience turned out have the deciding influences. Thus they were rather unfit to show the degree of in-depth viewing. Third, the findings implied that small changes to the signs increased the path of traveling in the aspect of exhibition environment. But it seemed that they didn't cause changes to the traveling time, conversations, use of items for experience, and stopping points of the audience. Fourth, in analyzing the spatial structure using the space syntax and predicting for the audience behaviors as many researchers have, it's important to consider the sign system for the sake of validity. |
