| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze the functional relations and proximity of facilities in commercial mixed-use buildings. This study particularly develops the evaluation method for functional relations and the proximity of facilities in terms of their location and circulation from user's perspective. By literature survey, the functional zones are defined. Questionnaire survey was conducted and analyzed to elicit the peoples' perception of the study area. Drawing analyses and user behavior observations allow us to develop evaluation system for the proximity of facilities. We carried out case study using the developed evaluation method.
Research revealed following results. Many cases show that the functional relations and 'proximity' of facilities do not correspond each other. First, existing functional zone is needed strong functional relations although they have strong 'proximity' of facilities. Second, the 'popular-facilities' are needed stronger relations than the 'purpose-facilities'. Inversely, the 'purpose-facilities' have stronger proximity than 'popular-facilities'. Third, the public-zone(e.g. public plaza) is demanded high functional relation not just than 'proximity'. |
