    Ar130p Behavior Setting

    This document discusses behavioral setting design and how to analyze behaviors in different environments. It explains that behavioral setting design identifies independent and stable behavior patterns, like areas for containment, food preparation, and hygiene in a prison. A behavioral setting survey examines who uses an area, what activities are done there, and how people and objects interact. Behavioral diagrams can illustrate behavior patterns, like movements in a restaurant. The document also discusses observing localized and specialized behaviors, organizing space and action through behavioral consideration of activity linkages, context, and density. The overall goal is to design spaces that support desired behaviors through provision of space, equipment, and reinforcement of intended functions and moods while allowing for communication and interaction.

    BEHAVIOR

    SETTING
    Behavioral Setting Design
     Identifies behavior patterns that are independent and stable.

     For example, a prison has areas designed to address certain


    behaviors, such as containment, food preparation, hygiene, etc.

     In landscape architecture design, common behaviors would include


    parking, gathering areas, or filtration for runoff.
    The Behavior Setting Survey
    People Objects
     Who goes here and why?  What type and how many
    behavior objects are used?
     Who has control over the
    setting?  What are the possibilities for
    stimulation response, and
    adaptation?
    Size Characteristics
     How many person/hours are Action Patterns
    spent here?
     What activities happen here?
     What is the physical size of the  How novel or repetitive are the

     How often and for how long
    does the setting occur?
    Behavioral Diagram

    A behavioral pattern in a restaurant


    Localized behavior
    Rather than concerning itself with flow, observation may be directed
    towards the total set if visible human behavior in a place to see how
    they interact with the spatial setting as a whole.
    Specialized Behavior
    To make observation more efficient, we may concentrate on certain
    items of behavior that are more likely illuminate the interaction with
    the environment.
    For example, we may watch and record only the only the visible and
    material interactions: pushing open doors, walking up steps, sitting on
    seats, digging, or climbing.
    Method of observation
    On the spot observation of behavior as it occurs in the real world
    Organizing space
    and action-
    BEHAVIOR
    Program
    Collaboration of the behavioral scientist and designer because it is
    based on behavioral knowledge.

    Designer, client, and users should all be parties in preparing the


    program.
    Factors that affect Behavioral
    Considerations
     Linkage of the activity and the setting (movements of people, goods,
    and wastes or communication of information)

     Context (studying the pattern of the surrounding community by


    looking beyond the boundaries of the site)

     Density (intensity of activity occurring per unit area)


    Land Use Diagram
    The plan begins with a diagram of the proposed location of activity and
    activity setting.

    The term “land use” refers to a piece of ground and the economic use
    to which it was put.

    It include broad classes of human activity.


    Some General Objectives
    BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT
    Is there space and time to do what people want to do?
    Is the site equipped and managed for that purpose?
    Does the setting reinforce the mood and the structure of the action?
    COMMUNICATION
    Most plans are effective to the degree that goods, persons, and
    information can circulate easily within them.
    A high level of interaction on a local scale may mean less interplay on
    some larger scale.
