Abstract
In this study, I analyzed the planning and design properties of interaction spaces in station squares located in urban areas from the viewpoint of daily interaction. In terms of planning properties, the interaction space-centered type and the interaction space-connected type were also identified. These two types have interaction space at a high level, ranging from 10% to 40%, and the layouts with high connectivity between the station and the interaction space. In terms of design properties, it can be said that, for the individual comfort, such as drinking and eating, it is effective to install a circular seat with a step, plantings, and lighting in the front, and plantings in the back. For intimate interaction, it is effective to install the seat in a location that is close to a flow line. In addition, for indirect interaction with others, such as watching people, it is effective to install the seat in a space where they can see a busy flow line or a square where people are playing.
