| Summary: | 碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 建築系建築及都市設計碩博士班 === 103 === The concept of space was first proposed by Laozi in his Tao Te Ching: “Benefit from what is here, make use of what is not.” Space not only entails outside and inside expanses but also involves a binary space, which is simultaneously external and internal. To understand how this spatial pattern exists in architectural space, this study used fuzzy theory, a popularly discussed concept in recent years, to interpret the in-between space of the Chin Shuei service area along the Taiwan National Freeway. A questionnaire survey of users using the service area was conducted to investigate their perceptions and preferences regarding the space. The results were then employed to establish a model for evaluating the characteristics of spatial patterns. The National Freeway’s Chin Shuei service area was targeted in this study. Its space was divided into five zones, namely outdoors, semi-outdoors, in-between space, semi-indoors, and indoors, according to the member functions defined and calculated for the space. Subsequently, users’ preferences and perceptions regarding spatial patterns and spatial combinations were surveyed. The results of this study showed that all of the spaces in the service area exhibited an in-between phenomenon to some extent, which may be attributed to the entire service area being an artificial environment. According to a questionnaire survey analysis of user preference for spatial patterns and spatial combination as well as user perception of space, the users did not exhibit a significant preference for the in-between space. Regarding the perception of space, among the six factors of spatial patterns, spatial enclosure (open/closed) and material (natural/artificial) were respectively most and least obviously perceived by the users. Concerning spatial combination, spatial scale, material, and enclosure were all strongly perceived by the users. Particularly, users had the strongest perception of spatial scale but they perceived spatial color the most weakly. The characteristics of the spatial factors and the sequence of their perception, as well as the method used to evaluate and analyze the characteristics of the spatial patterns, can provide a basis for future studies. Furthermore, the results can serve as a concrete reference that architects can apply when planning and designing public buildings.
