The Empirical Research of the Emotional Experience Ambulatory Assessment of Built Environment by Wearable Interactive Technologies

摘要

The study aims to explore the method of ambulatory assessment of urban built environment by an empirical study, find out the interactive coupling relationship between the built environment and human's emotional experience, establish the link between physiological indexes and the emotion experience, and thereby lay an empirical foundation for this method to be applied in the field of urban study and design. The virtual scene was constructed with a university campus environment video, and college students were randomly selected as subjects. Wearable biosensors were used to record the subjects' physiological indicators in real time, and the emotional variations were detected by the combination of mental maps and interviews, and consequently evaluate the campus environment. The experiment verifies that the SC value is the window reflecting emotion arousal, and the variation trend of the SCL and the sum of the LF/HF value reflect the individual and overall emotion experience in stages. This method could create a new layer of information for designers, enrich citizens' participation in urban space design, and help to create a high-quality urban environment that meets people's psychological and physiological needs.
