在這全球化經濟發展的年代、不斷追求創新突破的社會中,傳統市場已不能滿足我們多元化的需求;因此,從大型量販店的興起到百貨公司的林立,提供我們更不一樣的生活品質。然而,這些改變當中唯一不變的就是維持一個城市基本運作的開始---全國人民每日三餐的溫飽。本研究試圖以城市居民的日常生活需求---飲食為基礎,探討民生轉向商業空間美食街後,室內設計對使用者領域感、私密性以及空間行為的影響。將美食街比擬為小型的「生活城市」,結合空間型態構成理論(Space Syntax)進行分析,來檢視商業空間中的設計以及使用者在空間中的行為模式。主要的研究發現包括:商業空間中與垂直動線(手扶梯)連結的通道,在空間中的位置視覺範圍較廣,受外界元素干擾刺激較多,因此流動率較高,使用者不容易久坐;空間中使用者比較少的通道,視覺範圍廣度較窄,受外界干擾刺激較少,使用者擁有較多的隱私空間,不容易與他人併桌;設計元素之遮蔽性較強,且位於人潮較少的區域時,使用者能夠感受到比較強的領域感,停留時間相對增加;空間的元素、所使用的材質及尺度也會間接影響使用者的行為,例如:在空間中重複統一元素(如燈具),天花板、地面設計與室內家具做搭配,皆可提高空間的一致性及辨識度;家具尺度的大小是否符合空間的比例,以及是否符合人們的使用需求,諸如此類的原因都會對使用者的空間行為造成影響,例如過大的座位區在空間中容易形成焦點空間,讓人坐立難安。本研究之觀察與分析可供相關人員做為日後設計及評估之參考。後續研究將分別從設計師與使用者的角度探討出適合商業地下美食街的空間規劃設計。
In the rapid developments of global economy era and the seeking creative breakthrough persistently society, the traditional market is no longer to meet our diverse requirements. Our various living qualities have been supported by the emerging superstores and department stores. Base on the daily requirement of eating, this study attempts to explore the interior design influences consumer’s territory, privacy, and spatial behavior in the food courts of department stores. Methodology of this study was the Space Syntax, which combined digital graphical representations and quantitative analysis. After observed two cases, this research founded that the major circulation connecting with escalator has wider visual fields and more noises. There were more movements in the corridor, so that consumers left the table right after they finished the meals. On the contrary, the lesser users the corridor, the narrower the visual fields it is. The consumers tend to be eaten alone. The consumers felt more territory and stay longer in the area with higher enclose design elements. Material and scale of the spatial elements impacted users’ spatial behavior. For instance, the total design of lighting, ceiling, pavement, and furniture improved the consistency and identity of the food court. The spatial behavior was also influenced by the size of furniture. The consumers stayed shorter when the large eating table became the focus of the area. The results of this study can inform both interior design practice and food court management. Future studies can focus on both user and designer points of view respectively. A suitable design theory for food court will be established.
