Abstract

Following many changes in consumption behavior or needs of modern people, department stores have not only the role of distribution but also have spaces where people can sit down to have conversations, wait and collect information. Therefore, a careful planning for users to conveniently use rest spaces within department stores is required. In this study, theoretical parts on resting spaces in department stores had been looked to analyze arrangement characteristics. Among rest spaces of department stores, characteristics of arrangement of entrances, hallways, side of escalators, elevator halls, and powder rooms are analyzed to have the purpose of suggesting development plans. The results of analysis in this study are as follows: First, horizontal arrangement types of resting spaces in the department store are showed with complex types in most cases. Second, vertical arrangement types of rest spaces are a separated type and mixed type. Third, there are a variety of plan types compared to existing space. Particularly, rest spaces are placed to access conveniently such as elevators and escalators hall rather than independent rest space.
