  • EVALUATION OF DESIGN EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT BY UTILIZING BIM BY PROCEEDINGS ANALYSIS

    YOSHIKAI Keiji, TSUTSUI Takahiro, TAKAGUCHI Hiroto

    Journal of Architecture and Planning (Transactions of AIJ)   83 ( 749 ) 1297 - 1303  2018.07  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    &nbsp;In recent years, the architectural design process has been becoming more and more complicated due to increase in factors to consider. Therefore, facilitation in the design process is becoming more important to reduce the task and needlessness work. As a tool to facilitate design process, BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the focus of attention recently. But, in spite of the large expectations for BIM's influence of facilitating design work, actual introduction of BIM into the building industry is very few, because of the lack of quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of BIM. Therefore, in this research, we evaluated the effectiveness of BIM utilization on reducing reworks and improving the design flow by comparing the 7 buildings which designed with BIM and 3 buildings which designed without BIM.<br>&nbsp;As preparation, we organized meeting date and contents in chronological order from minutes information of 10 buildings. And we classified the contents into 113 design work items.<br>&nbsp;The first analysis is the evaluation using a progress chart. It is the graph showing the progress of the design progress degree. The average of the design progress degree in BIM used cases was higher at the early stage of design process than that of the BIM unused cases. So that, it made clear that many design work items are considered from the early stage of the design process in BIM used cases.<br>&nbsp;The second analysis is the evaluation of the study timing of design work items. It is the percentage value expressed as the average timing of the meeting. The study timing in BIM used cases average is 28%, and that of study timing in BIM unused cases average is 39%. which shows that utilization of BIM leads forward the meeting timing. Next, analysis of the study timing of 19 design work group shows that &ldquo;16. Structural performance&rdquo; and &ldquo;19. Estimate and make the book of confirmation request&rdquo; were studied early stage of design process. And, analysis of the study timing of 113 design work items shows that &ldquo;46. Decide the beam size&rdquo;, &ldquo;78. Study the fire protection zone&rdquo;, &ldquo;79. Design the corridors&rdquo;, &ldquo;94. Decide the floor vibration performance&rdquo;, &ldquo;103. Design the window (form/kind)&rdquo; and &ldquo;113. Make the book of construction order&rdquo; were studied early stage of design process.<br>&nbsp;The third analysis is the evaluation of rework. We clarify the type of rework occurred at each meeting. The type is classified as &ldquo;1. Rework by owner's change request&rdquo;, &ldquo;2. Returning by designer's change request&rdquo;, &ldquo;3. Rework by the change of other design work item&rdquo; and &ldquo;4. The other&rdquo;. In this research, the rework frequency of BIM used cases is 28% in average, and that of BIM unused cases is 19% in average. It shows that reworks are increased 9% by BIM using. However, in the interview survey, designer said &ldquo;Utilizing BIM, the cases that have been overlooked in the design stage and become troubles at the construction stage have been discovered and improved at the design stage.&rdquo;.<br>&nbsp;In conclusion, using BIM in the architectural design process is effective in front-loading of design work, but it becomes a factor to increase the rework of design work. However, the number of building in this research is 10, making it difficult to say statistical analysis results. Also, if the increase in the rework at the basic design stage is one that foresaw the trouble at the construction stage and avoided it, verification including implementation design is required.

    　View Summary

    &nbsp;This paper aims to determine the most common features of both the layout and the building materials of the single floor house in Khartoum -the capital of Sudan- using different methodologies. The results were then used to create a standard testing model to be utilized by researchers in all fields, especially, researches in the field of energy simulation, environmental design, etc. Google High resolution images were used to determine the layouts by studying the location of the visible roof parapets of each house. Three small neighborhoods were randomly chosen from the three cities of Khartoum state (Khartoum, Bahri, and Omdurman), each neighborhood contained around 350 houses. Additionally, one large neighborhood (about 15000 houses) was selected in an old third-class area in Khartoum state to test the various house layouts, in order to estimate the commonness of a specific uniform layout amongst the other layout patterns. Afterwards, the building materials and space dimensions were determined by surveying a random sample of 96 houses chosen from the large neighborhood. These 96 houses were built in accordance to the uniform pattern layout subject of this research. The results show that the uniform pattern layout is clear in about 39.75% of the total samples, and the common dimensions (length, width and height) of the room, hall, saloon, and the kitchen are (4.4m &times; 4.2m &times; 3.8m), (5.7m &times; 3m &times; 3.2m), (7.4m &times; 3.2m &times; 3.8m), and (4.4m &times; 4.2m &times; 3.8m) respectively. The most used materials are brick for the walls, local materials for the roofs, steel for doors, and steel frame and glass panels for the windows in 88%, 38%, 76%, and 82% of the cases respectively.

  • Development of a Simulator for Prediction of Urban Environmental Loads : Parameter Identification Method in Multiplier and Verification of Model

    上野 貴広, 住吉 大輔, 赤司 泰義, 高口 洋人

    都市・建築学研究 : 九州大学大学院人間環境学研究院紀要   ( 31 ) 19 - 28  2017.01  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    We made a long-term prediction simulator of CO_2 emissions from 1975 to 2050 for Fukuoka City with system dynamics. In this simulator, CO_2 emissions are calculated by multiplying CO_2 emission units with amounts of activities. In our past research, it took many hours to make the model because we manually adjust multiplying functions of the model. Therefore we develop a program to adjust every multiplying function of the model for reducing the simulator making hours. Moreover, we compared actual values and calculated values of the simulator by using multiplying functions that were identified by the program, and did accuracy verification of the program.

    ZHANG Jian, XU Lei, NAKAJIMA Yusuke, TAKAKUCHI Hiroto

    Journal of Environmental Engineering (Transactions of AIJ)   79 ( 699 ) 451 - 458  2014  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    The energy supply in Japan faces challenges after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The electricity consumption and the energy consumption for cooling before and after this earthquake in a high-rise university with BEMS is investigated. Compared with the energy consumption in 2010, about 22% of the electricity consumption and 20% of the energy consumption for cooling is cut down in 2011. According to the hourly data for lighting, electric outlets, cooling systems, the load patterns for different energy consumption are studied. The results show that the load patterns before and after the earthquake are quite similar. Furthermore, the difference of energy consumption for cooling in similar climate conditionings in these two summers is pointed out, which illustrates the effectiveness of energy saving methods adopted. Compared with the contracted electricity demand, 15% of the peak electricity demand is cut down in the summer of 2011.

    　View Summary

    Because of the lack of power in Tokyo and Tohoku due to Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, ordinance of electric power usage restrictions were triggered for the first time in 37 years. Large consumers of more than 500kW electric power contract were asked to reduce power consumption of 15%. Furthermore, since the power plant was stopped across the country, power-saving and energy-saving measures have been implemented in almost all over Japan. We conducted the investigation on the power saving conditions in the summer of 2011, in order to grasp and analyze the actual condition of power saving which commercial buildings performed. When we compared the energy consumption of the total from April to September of 2011 with 2010, about Office building, Kanto Area showed the biggest reduction of 21.4%, and when we compared the peak load of electricity of 2011 with 2010, the large office building in Tohoku Area showed the biggest reduction of 23.6%.

The paper also presents for the first time the detailed hourly energy consumption characteristics and composition of such buildings in this area for the year of 2010. Compared in buildings, &lsquo;A&rsquo; is near to the average electricity consumption unit of the investigated buildings while &lsquo;B&rsquo; includes energy conservation measures. Firstly, variation of heating/cooling load and electricity consumption unit has been analyzed. Then averaged electricity consumption unit with different usage like air conditioning system, lighting were examined at different periods. The indices of daily electricity consumption were figured out. Furthermore, energy conservation measures were evaluated to discuss the energy conservation effect.<br>Based on the investigation results, the heating load index per floor area of building B was found to be 40% of building A while the cooling load index per floor area was 30% of A. Air conditioning system accounted for 64.8% in building A and electrical socket accounted for 61.8% in building B of the total electricity consumption. Average daily electricity consumption ratio of building B is 5.1% higher than building A indicating possibility of energy conservation in building A. Finally, from the calculation based on actual data and simulation results, it is worth noting that overall energy consumption in building A can be reduced by 38% and individually heating and cooling loads can be cut down 57.8% and 61.5% respectively.

    　View Summary

    This paper presents in depth analysis of the actual energy consumption structure of a science and engineering university campus in southern China. It also clarifies for the first time the hourly energy consumption characteristics of such campus buildings in this area. Firstly, the measurement meters were installed on the power circuits of 11 different buildings in the campus to obtain hourly end-user energy consumption data from Sep.1st 2009 to Aug.31st 2010. Then examination of energy consumption unit according to the different buildings has been analyzed base on the measured data. Furthermore, the energy consumption of buildings with different usages has been evaluated; the analysis was performed for different days and different load periods. Finally, a detail of energy consumption unit was discussed and constructed based on it.<br> From the analysis, variation of daily energy consumption unit structure of different usage buildings and the whole campus is clearly indicated. The energy consumption of the research laboratory buildings accounted for 58% of the whole campus' energy consumption. The average daily energy consumption unit of the library was the highest. Among the proportion of the total energy consumption for the whole campus, the cooling consumption accounted for 52% with 72.18 MJ/(m2&bull;a), electricity consumption of lighting and electrical socket accounted for 23% with 32.01 MJ/(m2&bull;a). The maximum value of hourly average electricity consumption unit for the whole campus in each month was recorded at 12:00 Oct. 2009 with 24.08 kJ/(m2&bull;h) and the maximum value of hourly average cooling consumption unit was recorded at 16:00 Oct. 2009 with 71.14 kJ/(m2&bull;h) respectively. The energy consumption unit in different load period was listed to indicate which building and which period consumed more energy. In particular, this study we aim to find out peak energy unit of the different buildings, in order to make a proposal for energy conservation measures to reduce peak energy amount of the whole campus to the greatest possible extent.

    Journal of Environmental Engineering (Transactions of AIJ)   71 ( 610 ) 67 - 73  2006  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper presents the effective operation methods and the regional energy conservation effects of housing Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Co-Generation System (PEFC-CGS). We built the model-based simulation program to calculate the energy budget in a case that PEFC-CGS was introduced to detached houses considering specifications of a real PEFC-CGS. As a result of model-based simulations, we found that DSS (Daily Start and Stop) operation was the most effective method. Energy conservation effect is higher in cold areas because it varies by quantity of hot water supply load. The primary energy consumptions are reduced by 4-13% and CO_2 emissions are reduced by 7-20% in Japan. These values are increased by 1-2% in a case of the reverse power flow. Utility costs are also reduced by PEFC-CGS, but they vary by payment setting in each area.

    　View Summary

    Changes of the energy consumption in welfare facilities before and after the Great Earthquake of East Japan were analyzed based on the investigation for development of the DECC. Both electricity and primary energy consumption in the facilities with the residential function were reduced by approximately 8% in the Tohoku region and 16% in the Kanto region in 2011 compared to those in 2010 even though the difference of air temperatures were taken into consideration. As the results from multivariate analyses, measures related to lighting were effective for energy savings in the facilities both with and without the residential function. Additionally, changes of setting temperature of freezers could be a strong factor for energy savings in the facilities with the residential function, whereas restriction of use of electric appliances such as portable electric pots had large influences in the facilities without the function.

    　View Summary

    In this study, we examined the advantages of houses that use a lot of wood and natural materials and that also have breathable walls. There is insufficient research literature concerning the characteristics of effects obtained by using substantial quantities of wood for interiors. Typical Japanese modern houses have a damp-proof membrane but this risks being damaged during the tenure of residents or by earthquakes. Breathable walls do not have such a damp-proof membrane. We measured the environmental performance (indoor thermal environment, thermal environment and humidity in walls, and energy consumption) of four houses that use large amounts of wood, with each house using approximately 1.5 times the amount used by a typical wooden house. Results for one of these houses using large amounts of wood, even the room that was not air conditioned was most stable in terms of relative humidity, and 73.1% of measurements were classified as being within the central range of humidity. And the humility inside the wall was low enough to avoid the mold growth. From the viewpoint of energy, generally theses houses consumption of energy were smaller than the national average, but one was bigger because of the size of family and neighborhood circumstances.

    　View Summary

    This paper presents the effctive operation methods and the energy conservation effects of housing Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Co-Generation System(PEFC-CGS) with an electric storage capacitor. We built the model-based simulation program to calculate the energy budget in the case that PEFC-CGS and Storage System were introduced to detached houses considering specifications of real PEFC-CGS and assumed Storage System. As a result of model-based simulations, we found that DSS(Daily Start and Stop) operation to follow the power loading was the most effective method. It is the calculation result of winter 2 weeks that effect could be comfirmed most. 27% of CO2 emissions discharge, and 19% of the amounts of the primary energy consumption were reduced.CO2 of 7.16kg-CO2 and the primary energy of 100MJ were reduced more than the case that only PEFC-CGS was introduced.The capacity of the Storage System of 600Wh should be necessary to get this effect.

    IBPSA 2007 - International Building Performance Simulation Association 2007     546 - 553  2007  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    The systematic numerical simulation program is developed to calculate the total energy efficiency of housing polymer electrolyte fuel cell co-generation system (PEFC-CGS) which is combined with hot water floor heating (HWFH). This simulation program can also predict actual building physics of heat transfer such as mutual radiant heat among interior surfaces and thermal strage relating with piping pitch of hot water and so on. The indoor temperature can be controlled by PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) to take account of thermal sensing affected radiant heat. As the results, it is clarified that the primary energy consumption is reduced up to 12% in winter because of the utilization of exhaust heat from PEFC-CGS and decreasing of indoor temperature for space heating by floor heating utility.

    This paper presents effective operation methods and regional energy conservation effects of housing Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Co-Generation System (PEFC-CGS). We built the model-based simulation program to calculate energy budget in a case that PEFC-CGS was introduced to detached houses considering specifications of real PEFC-CGS. As a result of model-based simulations, we found that DSS (Daily Start and Stop) operation was the most effective method. Energy conservation effect is higher in cold areas because it varies by quantity of hot water supply load. The primary energy consumptions are reduced by 4-13% and CO_2 emissions are reduced by 7-20% in Japan. These values are increased by 1-2% in a case of the reverse power flow. Utility costs are also reduced PEFC-CGS, but they vary by payment setting in each area.

    　View Summary

    On this study, we developed a numerical simulation program to calculate the introduction effect of the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Co-Generation System (PEFC-CGS) that has been developed as a distributed power and heat source system, and examined its effect. To develop a numerical simulation program, we set up the prototype model of PEFC-CGS by the Energy Sufficient Sustainable House at Island City in Fukuoka, figured out its partial load efficiency, start up energy consumption, heat loss from the hot water tank and so on, and those date for it. By using this program, we calculated the introduction effect on the detached house by the operation methods, and the regions, on the case of it shared, and on the case of using it together with other systems such as the desiccant ventilation system.
    From the results of the calculations, it became clear that DSS operation was the most effective method to operate. In the case of the double income family with two children, if they adopt the DSS operation tracking the electric load without reverse power flow, they can reduce 11% of the primary energy consumption and 16% of the CO_2 emission per year. Furthermore they can save 1〜2% more with the contract of reverse power flow. If the 1kW PEFC-CGS is shared by 2 to 3 families, the introduction effect increase 6% more than the case of single family.
    Today, there are a lot of types of the distributed power and heat source systems, such as a gas engine CGS, a solar cell and heat system and so on, and the combinations of those equipments exist innumerably. We would like to continue the study and improvement to be able to figure out the best combination according to the family make-up, natural environment, their life style and life stage.

    In 2001, the law concerning Deep Subterranean Utilization went into effect in Japan. The law states that the use of space at a certain depth underground does not violate the right of the private above-land ownership. In order to provide for urban disaster mitigation in Tokyo and lessen the environmental burden, technological planning should be applied to Tokyo. This researcher focuses on deep underground space as the last precious unused space of the mega city, Tokyo. We present an effective way of developing a deep underground space network in a closed-off section of Tokyo Bay to promote urban renewal in Tokyo.
    Our research group has been working on projects related to the utilization of deep underground spaces. We have proposed several projects since the 1970s and examined their effectiveness. An outline of the latest project that aims at effective utilization of deep underground is presenter in this research. The way effective implementation of the project can be achieved is also discussed. These projects are major public- works and need to receive higher budget priority Accordingly, it is very important to work out new public- works schemes. This researcher also focuses on the results of feasibility studies and shows how the project can be realized by integrating urban disaster prevention with urban environment improvement.

    カンボジアのような途上国においては、今後のエネルギー消費の増大は、生活水準の向上に伴い避けられない。また同時に、現在先進国で行われているような対策は、所得水準の低さから導入は困難であり、経済発展に応じた逐次的対策の実施が求められる。そこで、カンボジアにおける太陽熱冷房システム導入の検討に先だって、ヒアリング調査により現地の住宅の企画から設計、建材設備の調達、販売までを含む住宅に関する現状を網羅的調査し、これまでの調査結果も踏まえ、居住者の所得、住宅内エネルギー消費量、対策の導入費用の推移を予測に基づく省エネ技術普及予測を行った。最期に、各対策を導入した際の住宅内エネルギー消費削減量、投資に対する利益率を比較し、行政による補助金等に頼らなくとも実現可能な省エネ改修計画を作成した。　住宅購入時（2016年）には、29.6［GJ/年］である住宅内エネルギー消費量も、2041年には73.8［GJ/年］と約2.5倍に増加することがわかる。特に、2016年からの2021年にかけては高度経済成長期に差し掛かり世帯所得の伸びが非常に大きいと予測されるため、住宅内エネルギー消費量の伸びもそれに比例して大きくなる。　改修計画では世帯所得の6［％］を改修予算に充てるものとし、次の3点を考慮して対策導入の順位付けを行う。①：1回の導入でより多くの年間住宅内エネルギー消費量を増加抑制できるもの、②：導入後の光熱費増加抑制効果によって導入費用を回収できるもの、③：①②のペースがより速いもの。結果は、すだれを毎年導入し、加えて2016年に屋根断熱、LED照明、2021年に太陽熱温水器、2026年に内断熱、2031年に高効率冷房、LED照明、2036年に太陽熱温水器、2041年に太陽光パネルを導入するものであった。2016年時の増加抑制量は3.2［GJ/年］（12.5％）であるが、2041年時点では56.9［GJ/年］（77.1％）と年代が進むにつれて、その量、割合共に増加している。しかし、2045年時点では投資回収可能期間が残り5年となって、多くの対策で導入費用の回収が見込めなくなるため、すだれのような簡易的な対策しか導入できずに、増加抑制量は減少に転じることとなる。本計画は行政による助成等に期待しない計画となるが、それでも最終的には、35年間で1.156［TJ］の住宅内エネルギー消費量の増加抑制効果が見込める。

    １．はじめに　本研究では、経済発展による人口増加と生活水準向上が著しいカンボジアにおいて、将来的に見込まれる住宅内冷房エネルギー消費量の急増を抑制するためのパッシブ住宅技術の開発を行った。パッシブ住宅技術を導入する住宅タイプには、都市部で増加傾向にあるテラスハウス型の住宅を選定した。また、2010年度のシミュレーション研究により、テラスハウスの冷房エネルギー消費量急増抑制には、屋根面の遮熱対策が効果的である判明していたため、本研究では特に、テラスハウスの屋根面における蒸暑パッシブ住宅技術の開発を実施した。２．パッシブ住宅技術の選定とシミュレーションによる室内温熱環境改善効果の事前検証　先進国にて導入されている屋根面におけるパッシブ住宅技術を整理すると、アルミシートや塗料を用いて屋根面の日射反射率を高め、建物への侵入する熱量を減少させるものが多い。そこで本研究では、それらの代表的な手法としてアルミシートと高反射塗料を取り上げ、この2手法について、熱・換気回路計算プログラムNETSを用い、その導入による室内温熱環境改善効果の事前検証を行った。その結果、アルミ箔を屋根面から5cm浮かせて設置したモデル（以下、アルミモデル）では、一日の平均室温が現状モデルから3.5℃低下し、クリーム色の高反射塗料を屋根面に塗布したモデル（以下、高反射塗料モデル）では、現状モデルから2.6℃低下するという結果となった。３．実測調査よる室内温熱環境改善効果の検証　実測調査では、カンボジア王立大学（Royal University of Fine Art）の協力を得て、現地のテラスハウス一棟に対して順番に各手法を導入し、各モデル3日間ずつ室内温熱環境の実測データを収集した。その結果、屋根面における一日の平均日射反射率は、現状モデルで37.8%、アルミモデルで74.1%、高反射塗料モデルで67.6%となり、屋根面からの一日の平均熱取得は、現状モデルで93.8[W/㎡]、アルミモデルで17.1[W/㎡]、高反射塗料モデルで24.6[W/㎡]となった。また、屋根面からの熱取得が減少したことで、アルミモデルでは現状モデルから、一日の平均屋根表面温度が平均3.9℃低下し、一日の平均最上階天井表面温度が平均2.7℃低下した。同様に、高反射塗料モデルでは屋根表面温度が2.0℃低下し、天井表面温度は1.6℃低下した。さらに、天井表面温度が低下したことで、最上階における室温、放射温度も低下した。アルミモデルでは、現状モデルから一日の平均室温が1.4℃低下し、一日の平均放射温度が1.3℃低下した。同様に、高反射塗料モデルでは、室温が0.5℃低下し、放射温度が0.5℃低下した。以上の室温、放射温度に関する実測データより、快適性指標SET*を算出したところ、アルミモデルでは、現状モデルから一日平均1.7℃の改善効果が見られ、高反射塗料モデルでは、一日平均0.4℃の改善効果が見られた。４．シミュレーションによる年間住宅内冷房エネルギー消費量の削減効果の検証　年間の住宅内冷房エネルギー消費量の削減効果を算出する為に、実測調査の結果を踏まえ、屋根面の日射反射率と開口部の換気流量係数の変更を加えた修正モデル作成した。そのモデルを用いてシミュレーションを行った結果、年間住宅内冷房エネルギー消費量は、現状モデルで7.7[GJ/年]、アルミモデルで4.7[GJ/年]、高反射塗料モデルで6.0[GJ/年]という結果となった。また、この年間住宅内冷房エネルギー消費量を電気代に換算すると、現状モデルでは405.7[USD/年]、アルミモデルでは249.1[USD/年]、高反射塗料モデルでは315.7[USD/年]となった。５．まとめ　カンボジアにおける蒸暑パッシブ住宅技術としては、アルミシートを屋根面の5cm浮かせて設置することが室内温熱環境改善に効果的であり、冷房エネルギー消費量の削減効果も高いことが明らかとなった。

    　本研究では、サステイナブル建築のプロセスマネジメント研究の一環として、屋上緑地の導入理由および経緯、管理状況、問題点を把握するため、屋上緑地を有する建物の所有者に対して屋上緑化の維持管理・運営に関するアンケート調査を郵便調査法により実施した。送付数は301件で回収数は64件、回収率は21.3%、回答数は57件であった。回答が得られた建物においては、屋上を全面的に緑化している例は無く、平均緑化率（緑化率＝屋上緑地面積/屋上面積）は21.6％であった。施工件数、合計緑地面積ともに100～500㎡未満の物件が最も多く、26件で、その合計緑地面積は9,785㎡であった。　その導入目的であるが、全体では｢ヒートアイランド対策｣、｢省エネ対策｣、｢条例への対応｣の回答割合はそれぞれ18%、15%、15%の順に多い。また｢その他｣では、教育文化施設の建物の照り返しの緩和や、緑地の確保、環境教育の場があげられており、屋上緑化による環境改善効果に期待していることがわかる。用途別で見ると、商業施設以外の用途の環境改善効果に関する回答は、ほぼ同じで全体の半分近くを占めている。一方、商業施設は、「建物利用者から見た景観の向上｣、｢建物利用者への景観の向上や憩いの場の提供｣などの、屋上緑化による利用者へ効果が環境改善効果に関する回答に比べて、多くを占めている。　その他特徴的な動きとしては、商業施設を中心に屋上緑化複合利用をした事例が見られることである。代表例としては、六本木ヒルズ、難波パークスなどが挙げられる。それらの施設では屋上緑地を地域住民やNPOなどに積極的に開放し、農地利用やイベント会場などに活用しており、屋上緑地を複合的に活用しようとする動きが見られる。　次年度においてはこの複合利用の計画、運用状況について詳細な調査を行い、その中からプロセスマネジメントに関する普遍的な知見を得たいと考えている。

  • ホームページにおけるVRML（仮想現実設計言語）を利用したまちづくり研究

    　ＶＲＭＬ（Virtual Reality Modeling Language）は、３次元空間をＷｅｂブラウザー内でシミュレートする技術であるが、インターネットなどのネットワークを用いて、不特定多数に３次元空間をモニター上で再現することが可能であることから、街並みや建物などのシミュレーション結果を広く住民などに体験させる技術として注目を集めている。　本研究では、富山県富山市の中心市街地に位置する太田口通り商店街の再生をテーマとしたまちづくりにおいて、このＶＲＭＬ技術がどのように活用可能であるかを検討した。具体的作業として、ＶＲＭＬを用い、太田口通り１丁目をＷｅｂ上に再現することからはじめ、協力商店においては、この再現された空間から各商店のＷｅｂサイトへのハイパーリンクを行った。これらの作業結果は、太田口通り商店街に設置したまちづくり拠点「ギャラリー太田口」にパソコンを設置、広く来訪者に体験してもらうと共に、意見を求めた。　体験者の多くが、ＶＲＭＬに感心するというよりは３次元空間のシミュレーションに感心していた。実際に自宅などでネットワークを介しての体験ではないため、博物館などに設置されている端末と同一視されたようである。しかし、街並みのシミュレーションがＷｅｂ上で閲覧できることに対しては、概ね好意的であった。　ＶＲＭＬの現時点での問題点である、処理速度については、体験中でも問題となり、精緻な街並みを再現した場合にはまだ実用段階にないとの意見も聞かれた。いわゆるＷｅｂ上でのショッピングモールなどでＶＲＭＬを利用する場合、形状を単純化したり、ライブラリ的なパーツを用いることにより、処理速度を克服しているが、多様な街並みの場合は、これらのパーツの組み合わせを用いることができず、処理速度が大きな問題となった。　この処理速度を克服する街並みライブラリーの充実が今後の課題であるが、Ｗｅｂ上での３次元空間シミューレート技術はいくつかの有力技術が標準を目指して競い合う過渡期にあり、今後の技術の発展によっては、まちづくりにおいて重要な合意形成ツールとなる可能性があると考えられる。
