Abstract

Public seating, as one of the most important urban infrastructures, has been widely installed throughout cities. Little prior research has paid attention to the influence of the natural environment on public seating services and citizens. Based on quantitative data collection statistics from public seating occupancy in a specific windy environment, and user-centred behavioural observations and interviews, this research generated results in the form of charts, texts and images. Based on the findings of this research, design strategies for public seating in seaside windy environment can be deduced, aimed at creating high levels of comfort and satisfaction for the public.
