A Study on the Development of the User Behavior Simulation Technology Using a Perceived Action Possibilities

In architectural design, the user is one of the most important factors for the design task as well as the standard for evaluating the value of the built environment after its construction. Recently, accidents, such as fires and breakdowns, in huge and complicated buildings have increased the importance of user behavior simulation. The Korean government has tried to establish a regulation for the prevention of accidents in the built environment. This is regarded as a significant step forward for providing a safer and more appropriate environment for users. However, the existing technologies related to analyzing user behavior only simulate simplified situations. Such simulations are not enough to evaluate accurately the designed alternatives because buildings and spaces contain more complicated information than what we have conventionally considered. Thus, we propose that the advanced agent can interact with the architectural context. It can understand not only the physical situation but also how the users affect this situation. In order to realize this, we adopted the concept of affordances as the perceived action possibilities for the simulation environment.
