Exploring the Terminology, Definitions, and Forms of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) in Landscape Architecture

While the concept of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is widely applied in landscape architecture and other relevant fields, term POE not well-defined. By reviewing analysing a representative set definitions collected from existing academic grey literature using content analysis methods, this study aims to enhance understanding breadth its practices. Our research found that was developed 1970s subsequently adopted 1980s. With growth field adaptation architecture, scope significantly expanded over recent decades, with growth, there have been considerable divergences understandings how carry out POE. A range different evaluation objects four models were identified by study. surveying conceptual terrain POE, our establishes need for practitioners be aware potential ambiguity surrounding what meant approach. Consequently, specific explicit about their The findings also demonstrate interdisciplinary differences appear overlooked when adapting one discipline another. We, therefore, argue it crucial keep shaping trimming support adaption processes into disciplinary domains.
