論文概要: The paper takes a "human-centered" approach and aims to achieve "perceived comfort." It applies physiological sensing technology and eye tracking technology to the study of "perception-space" and quantifies the unobservable variable of "perceived comfort" through human factors technology. By analyzing the physiological indicators of different perceptual states obtained through measurements, and synchronously verifying the "representativeness" of the changes in various physiological indicators through subjective questionnaires, comfort states are determined, and corresponding spatial indicators and parameters are derived. Through experiments conducted in residential and restaurant spaces, one-way perceived comfort, room brightness under single functional behavior, spatial distance, appropriate sound pressure levels, comfortable temperature, humidity, and the use of warm and safe decorative materials are obtained as spatial indicators and features.
Chapter 1 Introduces the research background, research objectives, and significance of the paper, discussing the current research status of domestic and international studies on elderly architectural spaces under human factor experiments and the new technology of eye-tracking.
Chapter 2 Establishes a research model for the relationship between architectural spaces and human perceptual experiences, focusing on epistemology and methodology, and explores the correlation between perceived comfort and architectural spaces.
Chapter 3 Focuses on visual comfort and investigates the brightness, spatial distance, spatial transitions, and color preferences of elderly residential spaces.
Chapter 4 Aims at auditory comfort and studies the spatial layout and form of residential and dining spaces in elderly buildings.
Chapter 5 Measures the physical parameters of temperature, humidity, and air velocity in residential spaces, and simultaneously applies human factor devices to study the thermal perception state of the elderly and the comfortable physical environmental parameters in living spaces under thermal comfort conditions.
Chapter 6 Targets tactile comfort and applies human factor devices to study the tactile preferences of the elderly.
Chapter 7 Based on the research results of perceived comfort, corresponding optimization designs are proposed for the problems found in the surveyed and experimental elderly residential spaces. This includes recommendations for window size for visual comfort, recognizable spatial transition scale, and elderly color preferences; ideal models for double occupancy residential spaces and dining spaces under auditory comfort goals; physical parameters of temperature, humidity, and air velocity under thermal comfort; as well as the selection of tactile materials that are comforting and provide a sense of security.
Chapter 8 Summarizes the correlation between different sensory organs and their corresponding relationships in space and discusses future directions for improving the physical environmental parameters and spatial parameters of architectural spaces with the goal of perceived comfort.
