Machine-translated · View original
A lab that evaluates urban and architectural environments from the perspective of human psychology.
AboutAbout the lab
Evaluating urban and architectural environments through human psychology.
The lab of Prof. Oi studies how to evaluate urban and architectural environments from the standpoint of human psychology.
Covering everything from individual well-being to the global environment, the lab investigates the psychophysiological relationship between people and their environments.
Its areas of expertise are urban and architectural environmental engineering and environmental psychology.
At Kyushu University, the professor is listed as faculty of the Environmental Design Course in the School of Design and of the Environmental Design Course in the Graduate School of Design.
Key terms
- Environmental psychology
- The field that studies the relationship between environments such as buildings and cities and the psychology of the people who spend time in them
- Luminance distribution
- How brightness (luminance) is distributed within the field of view. Used as a clue when evaluating the visual environment
- Spatial cognition
- The process by which people grasp and understand the positional relationships and routes within a space
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to understand the psychophysiological relationship between people and their environments, as a foundation for creating and sustaining good urban and architectural environments. It conducts surveys and research on lighting, the visual environment, human territory formation, wayfinding, and spatial cognition.

The lab studies the safety and comfort of lighting. This is one of its studies aimed at understanding the psychophysiological relationship between people and their environments.
Visual Environment Evaluation Based on Luminance Distribution
The lab studies methods for evaluating and designing the visual environment based on luminance distribution (the distribution of brightness).
*Illustrative imageHuman Territory Formation in Space
The lab studies how people create their own territories within architectural and urban spaces.
*Illustrative imageWayfinding and Spatial Cognition
The lab studies how people search for routes within a space and how they perceive and understand space (spatial cognition).
