Abstract |
The relationship between users and physical elements of environment gives a space special characteristics. The Environment Probabilism by Altman shows that behavior and environment, both response, effect each other and construct their chracteristics. People can choose their response consciously or unconsciously during their walking, sitting, standing, talking in their environment. Designing a good place can lead people to the goal that they want and designer intend to get. A good place well designed as an positive place is organised with 3 points (1)user`s behavior (2)physical elements in environment (3)meanings produced between behavior and physical elements. In this study the importance of physical elements are focused on. In the place where we can have permeability, variety, legibility, robutness, visual appropriateness, richness, personalisation physically, these characteristics will encourage people to have strong motivation and to choose the most active way. From this perspective the circulation of physically handicapped persons is analyzed into their behavioral environment and their behavioral response. The analysis shows the handicapped in our situation has no environmental right for a man itself, even they have no street to walk safely.And their response to the environment was very negative. Basically the elements from exterior space to interior space should be guaranteed for everybody according to their behavioral characteristics include handicapped. From this study the result shows that the needs of a person should be considered and accepted as an important design problem for improvement our environment. |
