관람객 행동을 고려한 과학관 전시공간의 분석방법에 관한 연구

Abstract

Recently, museums are changing their time and space composition from room-to-room to the exhibition space of open plan. Moreover, exhibition space and exhibit are being planned to use diverse techniques and media in order to cope with social changes. In particular, different from general museums whose relics or artworks to be displayed can be anticipated in advance, science museums whose main exhibition is participatory one where spectators can experience and understand various and comprehensive contents are required to be prepared with plans through efforts. This approach toward exhibition space and exhibit is being considered from the process of setting the direction for the actual plan for a museum, and in many researches, quantitative and qualitative study which can be reflected to the actual plan for the exhibition space and exhibit is being carried out simultaneously. Especially, regarding the plan for the exhibition place of the present science museums where open space consists of the main part, which is different from the open plan space, this demand is increasing more and more. However, when an open type of exhibition space and participatory exhibit are analyzed and predicted, problems occur, such as unclear standards for the analysis, gap between the analysis results and the actual behaviors depending on the spectators' cognitive experiences, and therefore failure in applying it to the real plans. Accordingly, this study aims at trying to analyze spectators' behaviors in the exhibition space of science museums using space syntax based on the fact that spectators recognize exhibition space and exhibit and behave in a science museum in a variety of ways. This study is also meaningful in that the cognitive scientific analysis methods examined in the preceding study were applied to the real space and investigated positively.
