Evaluation of the Application of Behavioral Architecture to the Characteristics of Commercial Users

Case Study: The Food Junction Grand Pakuwon

Abstract

In the field of architecture, humans build buildings or structures to meet their needs, and as users of these buildings influence the way humans behave. As well as ensuring the variables that influence the correlation between architecture and the social stability of building occupants. The most fundamental aspect of architecture is understanding the importance of the interaction between these elements such as accessibility, open space and aesthetics. In the western city of Surabaya, a place has been built, making it a new historical milestone in realizing the people's wishes. For this reason, the design of the Grand Pakuwon Food Junction building must be able to be accepted and respond to user behavior, namely visitors, by creating space elements that foster social interaction, are easy to adapt, and offer indoor and outdoor facilities to its users, as well as giving them a variety of activities to choose from. The method used for qualitative description is interviews and identifying each factor to create the stability of desired behavior for residents and users. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide development of spatial logic theory (Hiller and Hanson) and humanistic principles and encourage building designs that are not only functional, but also pay attention to aspects of genetic attitudes and emotions.
