オープンカフェの利用状況による歩行者の注視行動の変化

摘要

The purpose of this research is to examine effects of use situations of an open-air cafe on pedestrians' behaviors. An experiment was carried out to observe pedestrians' attentive actions to the cafe according to the use situation on the open terrace of the cafe. The results of the experiment are summarized as follows. 1. When the open terrace was used by costomers, pedestrians tended to face the cafe frequently. The more costomers there were, the more remarkable the tendency was. 2. Pedestrians tended to face the cafe more frequently at night than during the day. 3. Male pedestrians tended to face the cafe a little more frequently when the costomers were only men. On the other hand, women pedestrians tended to face the cafe a little less frequently when the costomers were only men. 4. When two men were on the terrace facing the street, pedestrians tended to face the cafe only for a moment. 5. There were some differences between actual attentive actions and psychological evaluations, and a part of the differences were estimated to be associated with interpersonal relationships with sex.%近年、都市部においてオープンテラスを備えたカフェや、街路に 面して大きなガラス面を持つような飲食店が増加している。そうした 飲食店に滞在する人々には、外部空間とつながることで視覚的な 開放感がもたらされると共に、店外の風景や道行く人々を眺めると いう楽しみが得られる。
