Abstract

A vital component of urban architecture, lighting may create a variety of emotions, including excitement, drama, mystery, romance and more. It also plays a major part in establishing welcoming and cozy public spaces. In order to create lively urban environments, public places must be able to promote social contact, a sense of community, and a sense of safety. This is known as conviviality. By providing enough illumination, improving the aesthetic appeal of public spaces, and fostering a sense of security, lighting can contribute to the creation of a convivial atmosphere. This paper examines the relative importance between the pertinent attributes (intensity, direction, color, and effect), their variables and the pattern of light configuration used to appropriate urban design qualities. An online questionnaire is distributed to determine these relations to suggest a heuristic model for each design quality in respect to lighting patterns in an urban area with a predetermined relevance level.
