Thesis (M.L.A.)--The University of Texas at Arlington, 2003.

This thesis examines perception and use of urban open spaces that contain water features, such as fountains. The objective is to determine users' perceptions of use patterns regarding these. This thesis applies both quantitative and qualitative data collection approaches to gain insights into aspects of user-water feature interaction. The present study analyzed quantitative data collected from questionnaires and qualitative data from direct observations. The study focused primarily on the area immediately surrounding the water feature. A secondary area was also observed that extended up to 100 yards beyond the immediate area of the water feature. The aim was to determine if significantly similar patterns of usage are found for different water features. Patterns of behavior were examined at three types of water features. Three sample sites were selected from Dallas Fort Worth Metropolises, and they are: Dallas City Hall, Fountain Place and the Dallas Museum of Art in downtown Dallas. For contrary purpose, another uncategorized type of site, Water Garden in Fort Worth downtown, was selected. The study is based on responses to one hundred and ninety-nine questionnaires. Respondents were selected randomly on the sites. The questionnaires provided data on user perceptions of space containing water features and user preferences about the space. Consequently, this research evaluated these four sites based on patterns identified by the research. The results of the research, as put forth in this thesis demonstrate that water features become the center of activity patterns, and this knowledge could lead to improved decision-making in the design of such features. Therefore, designers of outdoor spaces need to keep abreast of current research in the area of environmental behavior and users' perception relating to water scenery.Subjects--Topical Terms:
