Profile My specialty is human-centered urban planning and its management. I work with stakeholders in urban planning, including governments, local governments, shopkeepers, businesses, and citizens. I think that sustainable cities need public spaces where people can walk, interact, and spend their leisure time. In order to find ways to create such public spaces, I focus on the relationship between urban space and human behavior. As a concrete example, I define an urban landscape that includes human activities as an "Activity-scape”, and conduct research on what human activities contribute to improving the "Activity-scape”. In another example, I conduct research on the urban environmental factors that cause visitors to take active strolling in urban areas, and research on the affinity between future personal mobility and human activities in the public space. These results are clarified through presentations at domestic and international conferences and publications in journals.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) The influence of human activities on impression of urban landscape

    The field of urban landscape design includes cases such as the preservation of existing streetscapes and the creation of new landscapes. However, most of the subjects were hardware-centric, and the urban landscape including human activities was not treated. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of human activities on impression evaluation for urban landscapes through experiments. The results revealed that social activities created by interactions with people have a greater influence on liveliness and attractiveness than do single activities; thus, it is important to create spaces where people can interact with each other.

  2. (2) The effectiveness of considering human activities in building consensus on public space planning

    The objective of this study was to clarify the effectiveness of expressing activities in a VR system for public space planning to support consensus building with citizens, based on the idea that it is important to consider people's activities when creating attractive public spaces. We constructed a VR system comprising a background expressed in 3DCG and activities expressed in real video image. As a result of the evaluation experiment, it became easier to visualize the utilization of space by expressing an activity. Although its effectiveness was clarified, some problems regarding the functioning of the system were highlighted.
