街並みの「ゆらぎ」の心理量分析 : 街路景観の「ゆらぎ」に関する研究(その2)  [in Japanese] PSYCHOLOGICAL-ANALYSIS OF THE FLUCTUATION ON TOWNSCAPE : Study on the fluctuation of street scapes Part II  [in Japanese]

The purpose of this paper is to show how much influence the atmosphere of various street scapes has on the mental state of people. In order to clarify this, firstly a new terminology, 'the feeling of fluctuation,' is defined in this paper, and secondly, by using the term, the elements of various street scapes are analyzed in 'forms,' 'materials,' and 'fluctuation' through 'the semantic differential method.' As a result of this experiment, the strong distinction between modern street view and historical street view is observed. What is more, through factor analysis, seven factor axes can be found in 'form', while six psychological factor axes in 'materials.' Therefore, it is clear from the above that through the analysis from the viewpoint of the idea 'fluctuation,' the strong influence of townscape on human mind can be found.
