what did I do?


I conducted observations at various locations in the park, including picnic areas, jogging trails, and green spaces. I recorded people's activities, how they interacted, and their behavioral characteristics in the park. At the same time, I noticed the characteristics of different age groups, different family structures, and different activity groups.


What did I learn?

Through observation and incorporating White's theory, I found that the design of public spaces has a significant impact on people's behavior. White proposed that public spaces need to have attractive features such as seating, greenery and easy access. In my observations, I found a similar phenomenon:

The importance of seating and seating areas: White emphasizes the role of seating. I observed that the benches and picnic tables attracted people to gather, rest, and socialize.

Natural environment and use of space: White mentioned the importance of greenery and open space. I observed that the grassy and shaded areas attracted many families and friends to gather for picnics, play and relax.

Motivation for social interaction: White believes that public spaces should encourage social interaction. In my observation, picnic areas are the center of social activity, with many families and friends interacting in these areas.

Flow and Access: White refers to the fluidity and accessibility of public spaces. On the jogging track in the park, I saw people flowing freely and making full use of the space for exercise.


Is it interesting?

I thought this observation mission was very interesting. I feel the role of urban public spaces in promoting social interaction and community cohesion. At the same time, I learned how space design affects how people behave and interact. Observing the energy of different areas and understanding how design elements influence people's choices makes the whole process of doing homework both fun and enlightening.

week 2 classroom questions

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
