| Abstract |
This study was trying to seek public library users’ needs by studying their behavior. Ultimately the purpose of this paper is to set in detail design policy of unit space in public libraries. The researcher sought physical correspondence by dividing users according to their behavior. Also found out more detail design policy through study of space support by users’reading types and major movements. The followings are results. Public libraries are not only public communication spaces but also users’personal spaces. Thus there is the need for combination of these two roles. 2) There is the potential of role of unit spaces by supporting of reading in book spaces and by diversifying reading seats in reading spaces. 3) Users’ need characteristics in unit spaces are personal spacing, protection of privacy, social interaction, user friendliness and so on. 4) The study of users’ posture and motion from their behavior pattern will be the basic data for unit space and lay-out planning in public libraries. Finally the researcher will get to more objective and scientific study with help of mathematical data and frequency study. |
