| dc.title | Emotional responses to public outdoor space experience based on thermal environment : a case study in Hong Kong | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | The public outdoor space (POS) is essential because it helps to keep citizens healthy mentally and physically, and the using experience of POS is significantly affected by the thermal environment. Understanding how people feel after using POS, and how the thermal environment influences their feelings is crucial. This insight can effectively guide urban designers in future POS design. This study selected a large park as the POS. Through questionnaire surveys and on-site measurements, 88 people were invited to use the POS from 14:00 to 16:00. Weather data, comments and thermal sensation vote (TSV) of the participants during the POS experience were collected, and the comments were quantified into Emotion Factor ranging from “-1” to “1” using the sentiment analysis tool. Based on the perspective of big data, this study identified the Emotion Factors by analyzing the comments of the participants on observed POS. The thermal comfort range of residents in the area was determined through regression analysis of Emotion Factors, thermal environment parameters and TSV. This range is wider than the range determined by the traditional TSV method, indicating that the emotion response of residents to POS is affected by the complex interaction of multiple factors. | en_US |
