山形県金山町の街並みづくりの特性に沿った景観照明の提案と実験

摘要

This paper examined the role of the nighttime landscape of Kaneyama Town,Yamagata prefecture, which has tackled the production of rows of houses over 50 years thanks to the initiatives of residents. A concept for the lighting environment that involves controlling consumption energy was proposed in combination with the characteristics of each street determined in this investigation. Because of the strong requests from residents, the landscape lighting experiment was conducted at four places: the bridge, the town square, and two buildings. The lighting design took into consideration expressing the individuality of the town and promoting the ability to take a walk without fear at night. Lighting equipment was attached in cooperation with local residents. The affirmative effects of the landscape and feeling of safety while taking a walk were demonstrated from the results of a questionnaire. The landscape lighting of the town will be improved thanks to the further participation of residents.
