“…Morita et al (2015) showed that when a pilot project is conducted at a wooden terrace (public open space), outside temperature and weather can strongly affect pedestrian route choices. In addition, Akagawa et al (2007) analysed the relationship between the observed climate data (temperature, wind, and solar radiation) and the number of stationary people or visitors at a large rooftop garden; this study revealed that the correlation coefficient between the observation results and the number of stationary people is high but negative, in public open spaces without a green shady area on a sunny day. Nakase and Kiyota (1988) recognized the relationship between thermal factors and stationary people in parks and surroundings in Osaka.…”

Established on a well-consolidated global network of scholars and professionals, The Journal of Public Space is committed to expand current scholarship by offering a global perspective and providing the opportunity for unheard countries to speak up and to discuss neglected as well as emerging topics that are usually sidelined in mainstream knowledge. The Journal of Public Space is addressing social sciences and humanities as a major field, and is interested also in attracting scholars from several disciplines. It will perform as a scholarly journal but also as an interdisciplinary platform of discussion and exchange by scholars, professionals, organizations, artists, activists and citizens, whose activities are related to public space.

In urban area, making the attractive public spaces is effective one way of creating a public life or increasing the value of area. In Japan, there have been many public spaces which are not well used because the flexible utilization of public spaces including road, park and river has been limited due to some regulations. However, in accordance with the revision of “Act on Special Measures concerning Urban Reconstruction” and so on, stakeholders have been able to review the making public spaces which are stimulated flexibility use because the utilization of public spaces have been permitted by private business operators or locally area management association. In case of practical and tactical public space making, it is necessary to gain a public consensus through stakeholders discuss what kind of good effect will be made by the alteration of public spaces by communication. Therefore, it is effective to visualize based on the data verification and accumulate the results for short-term and temporary alteration of public spaces such as social experiment. At the same time, integrating the consideration of thermal environment and wind condition will contribute to make more attractive public spaces. Therefore, this study aims obtaining the basic data necessary for making the attractive public spaces considering thermal environment and wind condition in Saitama New Urban Center Area which is central business zones. Specifically, this study progressed via the following steps: 1) activity investigation; 2) thermal environmental and wind condition survey and numerical simulation results; 3) analyzing the relationship between 1) and 2). In addition, it attempts to make analysis focusing strong wind for high-rise building because the high-rise buildings are lined in many parts of Saitama New Urban Center Area. Also, these results are intended to make use of designing attractive public spaces in Saitama New Urban Center Area.

: In recent years, when the therapy effects of urban green space is spotlighted, it is thought that the nighttime use should be considered for reviewing urban green because of the increase of urban activities in the middle of the night. Thus, in this study, by adopting the rooftop green space of commercial facilities, the psychological and physiological effect of nighttime use on people has been verified. As a result, with respect to the urban rooftop green space, it is clarified that one can obtain a positive impression during nighttime as well as daytime and live comfortably even during a summer time. In addition, with respect to nighttime use, it became clear that the introduction of lightings could ease people and people tended to feel better in the green space. From these results, it turned out that the nighttime use of the rooftop green space has a psychological effect.
