PROPOSAL OF WIND CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR VARIOUS HUMAN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN THE MID-SEASON

Abstract

This study evaluates whether wind conditions affect human outdoor activities during spring and autumn (hereinafter, the mid-season). Although several previous studies on wind environment have been conducted, only few studies related to its effect on various human activities are available in the literature. Wind velocity measurement and questionnaire survey were conducted during actual human activities in outdoor space. According to the results of the data collected, there was a different tendency for the subjective evaluation of wind strength for each activity. Wind condition assessment for each human activity was proposed.
