Title
Conceptual Design of Noncontact Modular Spaces Considering Psychological Responses: Focusing on Personal Space Cognition and Sense of Safety
 
Abstract
Mobility and physical activity are essential elements that account for an individual’s quality of life. Meanwhile, infectious diseases are expected to continue emerging or reemerging in the future. This study presents a method for designing non-contact spaces while considering users’ personal space cognition and sense of safety. We analyze a modular space plan by applying the theory of personal space, which is classified into three zones: intimate, social, and public and analyzed detailed spatial characteristics according to corresponding close, moderate, and long distances. This study presents a spatial design approach based on the three defined zones and distances. The possibility of developing a model for generating non-contact modular space plans was confirmed using generative adversarial networks. In the future, it will be necessary to develop models and tools to optimize spatial configurations by using actual user spatial behavior pattern data. This study highlights the necessity and feasibility of developing a model to interpret modular space planning through the lens of interpersonal distance, with particular attention to enhancing psychological wellbeing. Future research should involve a more comprehensive analysis of various contextual factors, including physical elements, user-related characteristics, and the social aspects of spatial environments.
