Effects of Minimum-Intervention-Design to Urban Waterfront Park in China:an application of POE

摘要

POE (Post-Occupancy Evaluation) Methodology is an effective tool to find users' evaluation to built projects and help improve design. In this paper three ALSA prized projects in China as cases are explored, with some common characters of Minimum-Intervention-Design (MID) and have built as urban waterfront park, designed by the same office. The present study was performed to evaluate users' satisfaction and understanding rates to the three parks and their concepts basing on the POE method. Interesting results are: 1) Users' satisfaction rates are high in all of three parks. 2) MID creates diverse familiar spaces and opportunities for people to think of wildness and learn native plants resulting in high recognition. 3) Users' understanding and acceptation of the park have positive correlation with explanation system. 4) Post built maintenance influences the users' altitudes and turns to be a very important factor for more application of MID.
