Abstract:
Qualitemetric methods in determining the quality standard allow quantitatively evaluate the quality of architectural environment of the public pedestrian spaces. Such evaluation must contain a sufficient amount of complex and singular indicators of quality of an object. One of the crucial complex quality indicators of the architectural environment of public pedestrian spaces lies in the quality of its visual environment. This article examines the two components (two singular quality indicators): assessment of the quality of visual environment from the perspective of videoecology, as well as assessment of the quality of visual environment from the perspective of condition and beautification. For obtaining objective results on the efficiency of functionality of architectural environment of the public pedestrian spaces, which allow acquiring objective and accurate information. Based on the methods of videoecology, the author develops the methodology of evaluating the quality of visual environment of the public pedestrian spaces that determines the quality standard of the visual environment of public pedestrian spaces alongside the directions for its improvement, as well as formulate practical recommendations. Accessibility of the means for conducting a graphical analytical examination tolerates the extensive application of this methodology in substantiating the assessment of design solutions and reconstructions of the established urban environment, increases the quality of inspections and accuracy of the results.
