Description

Although daylight changes seen through windows are likely to mediate positive responses in occupants, there are no specialized instruments capturing responses to dynamic attributes in views. This study mapped self-report instruments that could be readily adjusted to measure subjective responses to dynamic views. Through a revision of the literature, 55 papers in view assessment were clustered as a function of prevalent label types and constructs used to investigate responses to static outdoor views. Feature-type was the prevalent label distinction to investigate responses to window views, whilst preference and restoration were the predominant constructs in view out research. Four instruments were deemed appropriate to capture responses to dynamic attributes in views with respect to restoration, provided that semantic adaptations and further validations are set in place. This study highlights the need for more validation studies to increase the robustness of self-report instruments and outlines a theoretical approach to achieve this scope.
