情緒棲地：東海大學校園使用者環境偏好之空間群聚研究

Habitat Preference: Exploring Spatial Autocorrelation of Environmental Preference of Tunghai University Campus

環境偏好為個體與特定空間環境互動所產生的一種評價，對促進人們心情愉快、精神疲勞復甦與促進健康扮演一重要角色，然而過去環境偏好研究多集中於個體對於實質環境的心理偏好程度，較少研究從空間特性觀點來瞭解使用者環境偏好的空間分佈，本研究目的為探討使用者環境偏好的空間分佈特性，選擇台中市東海大學校園為研究調查基地，採用自填式問卷作為研究工具，資料收集共獲得652個有效分析單元，使用空間統計分析工具進行資料分析。依據資料分析結果顯示受訪者對校園環境偏好的指認次數具有空間集中特性，表示使用者的心理變數在空間分佈上會產生空間群聚的現象，此外，環境偏好中的一致性、複雜性、神秘性與易讀性屬性之空間群聚熱點的形成應與現況環境特徵與熟悉度具有關聯性，上述研究結果可供校園空間規劃及管理相關情緒空間研究之參考。

Environmental preference is an evaluation of individuals’ interaction with the specific settings and plays an important role in promoting humans’ pleasure and restoration as well as mental health. Prior research on environmental preference mainly focuses on the individuals’ psychological responses to those environments. However, few empirical studies investigate the spatial pattern of individuals’ environmental preferences across a specific environment. The purpose of this study is to explore the spatial autocorrelation of individuals’ environmental preferences of Tunghai university campus. A total of 652 valid analysis units are administered an on-site questionnaire and a campus map. The data were analyzed with spatial statistical analyses technique. The results indicate that environmental preference is spatially dependent cross the campus, showing that the psychological variables would be contributed to the formation of localized “hot spots” of responses. The findings suggest that environmental attributes and familiarity are ascribed to understand why coherence, complexity, mystery, and legibility are locally clustering. Finally, the planning and management implications for campus are discussed.
