Resum: | Sustainable development and energy savings are crucial to the significant worldwide trend in smart city-related research and projects. In this regard, public lighting systems have great energy-saving potential. Nevertheless, while citizen engagement is a key element of most conceptualisations of smart cities, many smart lighting projects and systems fail to take account of the citizen’s viewpoint. Applying a citizen-centric lighting design model, the objective of this study is to examine the affective impressions of local residents of the luminous environments in their areas, taking account of the activities they carry out there. Kansei Engineering is employed to connect luminous design elements with citizens’ affective responses. Lighting environments in 18 urban spaces were evaluated by 310 local residents. The results show that subjective assessments in the evaluation of urban lighting environments can be explained by the following dimensions: Expressive-interesting, Innovative-efficient, Defined-sufficient, Formal-uniform and Glaring. The relationship of these dimensions to urban social activities shows that public lighting should generate, in local residents, sensations consistent with the nature of the activities. Urban lighting must create in the citizen a feeling of innovation (being up-to-date and contemporary) if it is to be seen as energy-saving and caring for the environment. These findings may be valuable for governments, architects, engineers, and lighting designers when developing strategies to ensure their designs are evaluated as being efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. |
