| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to know what are the pedestrians' behaviors to find their ways in a large-scale interior space(like the COEXMALL). It is very important that architectural designers should know pedestrians' behaviors in particular spaces. Specially, Behaviors about wayfinding must be considered when designers plan a large, internal, splendor space.
At first, we surveyed papers and studies on wayfinding and behaviors. And then the investigations of pedestrians' behaviors about their wayfinding have been proceeded in a weekends( Saturday and Sunday ). Results as follows : It was hard to find wayfinding cues(for example, like signs) because of various visual informations. Mainly commercial signs affected pedestrians' wayfinding. About their wayfinding, it was more critical phase how often pedestrians visits and experienced such spaces than anything else. Moreover we know that pedestrians cannot always differentiate necessary signs from commercial signs correctly. Because commercial signs are more stimulant and colorful than signs for their wayfinding. This survey show that designers should plan the spaces considering to pedestrians' behaviors and control wayfind cues(like visual informations, commercial signs as well as color, form and lighting etc.) in a large-scale interior space. In order to do so, researchers will have to study on various wayfinding cues through concrete and various method sooner or later. |
