| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to research the psychological determinant factors of window design and the relationships between environmental variables and the tendency of residents` preferences over those factors. Field surveys and questionnaires, focused on residents in apartment houses, were used to research the residents` preferences. Sunlight inflow, view, privacy, and spaciousness can be assumed as major environmental psychological factors related to windows. But some difficulties in applying all those factors` requirements in a window design lie in the fundamental mutual contradiction such as providing both optimum privacy and openness. Those difficulties can be solved to a certain degree through the process of comparison between those factors based on residents` preference tendency in a specific space. Other results of this research are as follows:1) The preference research shows that sunlight inflow stands first in living room, and followed by view, privacy, and spaciousness; privacy ranks first in bedroom and followed by sunlight inflow, view, and spaciousness; the elderly over sixties prefer the sunlight inflow first both in the living room and the bedroom.2) Satisfaction degrees on sunlight inflow, privacy, spaciousness are increasing along with the dwelling height, while the view is not showing any relationship with the dwelling height.3) Natural elements, as the object of view, are preferred to artificial elements such as buildings and roads.4) Windowsill heights in bedrooms have relevance to the state of satisfaction about sunlight inflow, privacy, and view, while show no relationship with spaciousness. |
