시지각 분석에 따른 호텔 로비공간의 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The goal of this research is to establish a featured classification of hotel lobbies using visual structure analysis. This research aims to study various lobby types by studying guests' perception of lobby areas through two-dimensional and three-dimensional quantitative analyses.Hotel lobbies market services to enhance customer satisfaction while creating a pleasant atmosphere for emotional appeal. In addition, lobbies are hubs of customers' activities and crucial spaces where the overall design image of the hotels are created. Six hotels were chosen from among the five-star hotels in Seoul with over four hundred guestrooms. Those encompassing non-accommodation facilities such as department stores or amusement parks were excluded. To analyze the lobbies of the selected hotels, I visited each hotel to study how the lobby spaces were being used, and using quantitative methods, analyzed visual areas from a guests viewpoint as well as related differences in spatial volumes. A hotel lobby is not an independent, monolithic interior space, but is closely related to the surroundings and external elements. Given the large volume and heterogeneity of the traffic that passes through a lobby, this research classified the lobby space into segments for guests to identify locations and determine their next destination and for hotel managers to conduct their tasks. Based on the classification, a study has been done on the sizes of the spaces and the circulation paths that connect the individual spaces. Then, the relationships between isovist areas and distances have been analyzed from a visual perspective; the lobby space systems, entry methods and areas created along the circulation paths have been comparatively analyzed.
