摘要

This study is aimed at developing an evaluation structure to systematically analyze how pedestrians evaluate street furniture from which view. This study mainly used the evaluation grid method, an advanced psychological evaluation method that was developed to examine the exact cognitive construct of individuals about a certain objective by the interview survey. By using this method, the cognitive construct between images that evaluators see from street furniture, and physical elements that form the images can be systematically drawn into a network diagram. The study is conducted by the following procedures. 1) Street furniture are classified into specific types and the target type of street furniture for the study is determined. 2) On the basis of the evaluation grid method, interview is conducted to identify the cognitive construct of the environmental evaluation on a street landscape. The correlation between the observer's psychological evaluation and the physical elements of the street environment is drawn into a network diagram in a systematic way. 3) In the analysis step, the network diagram is analyzed to identify the physical elements that affect the evaluation on environmental furniture and to find out how much the individual elements affect the evaluation.
