ABSTRACT

The influence of space morphological factors on the way-finding perception in public space way-finding research is the focus of current research. The large-scale theme park is a landmark place for the city to promote the tourism economy and the city vitality. This kind of place has the characteristics of large-scale spatial structure and complex local node route. It is easy to cause the problems that the space is difficult to be perceived, difficult to choose when seeking the way, time-consuming to choose, and even lost direction to reduce the playing experience. In order to explore that mutual effect of the law between the characteristic space morphology of a large-scale amusement park and the tourists' way-finding perception, this article take the outdoor public space of the theme park of HB town as the object, based on Kevin Lynch's theory of environmental behavior related to space cognition of way-finding, use an on-site questionnaire and software simulation and 3D modeling of built environment. In the theme park of the HB town, 10 spatial feature points were selected to obtain the data of way-finding perception questionnaire, space morphological element modeling and measured oblique photography modeling. The three kinds of data were coupled by using the spss software regression analysis. The correlation among the spatial structure, the node interface enclosure and the subjective feeling of the tourists is obtained. Furthermore, the three are checked to find the difficult multi-direction nodes in way-finding. Finally, on the basis of this, the paper points out the space organization design suggestions of the large-scale theme park.
