Abstract

This study discusses the flow of information regarding buildings connected via an underground space. Common information is installed although there are a small number of signs in the Tenjin underground center that provide directions to the buildings that are connected to the Tenjin underground shopping center. The data show that the sign format in private sector sites (private spaces) connected to the underground shopping center (public space) is different from the standard sign format and content used in the underground shopping center. Thus it is apparent that there is a need to integrate the format of the information signs in the two spaces (public and private).

Key Words
