A Study on the Configuration Pathway of Constituent Elements in Embodied Interactive Spaces of Libraries
This paper focuses on the core research questions of what embodied interactive spaces of libraries are and what kind of embodied interactive spaces should be constructed in libraries.Aiming to meet users'genuine physical and mental needs,this work conducts research on library spaces from the perspective of embodied interaction,providing practical guidance for library space design.To ensure the objectivity and scientific validity of the research conclusions,mixed research methods combining qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed.Firstly,the researchers conducted extensive and in-depth reviews of domestic and international literature,covering topics such as embodied interaction,library space,and architectural space.A grounded theory was applied to identify and extract the constituent elements of embodied interactive spaces of libraries.Through a gradual coding process including open coding,axial coding and selective coding,five key constituent elements were identified:form,situation,function,perception,and technology.Secondly,to gain preliminary insights into readers'authentic comprehension and evaluations of these five constituent elements,482 questionnaires were distributed and collected.On the basis of the pre-survey results of these questionnaires,the researchers further issued a satisfaction survey on the constituent elements of embodied interactive spaces of libraries,which was distributed online and offline to readers of both public and academic libraries.After data cleaning,114 valid questionnaires were retained and used for subsequent configurational path analysis of the elements.Thirdly,in the stage of constructing the configurational path of elements,Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA)was utilized for data processing.The five constituent elements were designated as conditional variables,and through processes of data calibration,necessary condition analysis,and conditional configuration analysis,the study analyzed how they jointly influence the outcome variable,namely,reader satisfaction.The results identified three configurational paths of constituent elements in embodied interactive spaces of libraries:form-situation,form-technology,and function-perception.The reliability of these findings was substantiated through robustness testing.Furthermore,with reference to the field research conducted by the researchers in the United States,excellent construction cases of embodied interactive spaces in libraries are compared and discussed.Ultimately,targeted strategies for constructing embodied interactive spaces in libraries were proposed.This will assist different types of libraries in optimizing their services according to local conditions,drawing on their own characteristics and available resources,thereby promoting the positive development of library spaces.
