Abstract：As China's architecture gradually moves towards high-quality development,people have raised higher demands for the quality of personal space.How to meet personalized scenario requirements for different behavioral patterns within the same space is one of the key issues urgently needing resolution in the creation of high-quality architectural spaces.This study employs scenario lighting as a tool,utilizing psychological experimental methods,with objective stopping distance and subjective questionnaire survey results as evaluation criteria.It explores the impact of different lighting distribution,light colors,and approach methods on the perception of personal space and distance.The result shows that the lighting environment has a significant impact on distance perception and personal space.Among these factors,light color temperature and approach method have the most significant impact on space and distance perception.Lowering the color temperature of the lighting environment can reduce the boundaries of personal space,allowing individuals to accept shorter interpersonal distances.This study holds significant importance for creating personal space lighting environments that accommodate multiple behavioral patterns,enhancing the overall quality of architectural spaces.Additionally,it can serve as a basis and reference for the interior lighting design of public buildings.
