Academic Library is defined the place to help students. Learning Commons(LC) is increasing by library improvement and a new establishment. By LC of the library it has been introduced, I will increasingly be extent of seat choice. And extent of seat choice diversity. This paper is user's awareness of the places, by LC of the library it has been introduced. And from the view point of group user and private user, to understand that whereabouts formation of the place, An object thereof is to clarify the hierarchical structure in the choice behavior of the place, Surveyed academic library is three academic library with the LC of Aichi Prefecture. Configuration of LC in three academic library so different. Survey way Question paper by visitors in library, and Plot patrol. LC is specialized in the group user, but there were much private user. LC was used a lot as a place of the personal learning and revealed what it the place that can talk but also the space that I can learn quietly. In the academic library, personal use, and group use was seen in open stuck area and LC regardless of the number of user. In the open stuck, both the personal use, and the group use choose the quiet space around. In addition, the user chooses a seat while minding eyes of another person, and the group use knew that there was a type to choose the far space from the quiet space and a type to melt into the active space. So I think that I mind eyes in learning commons, and I secure anonymity in active environment. According to space choice, I think that I choose a space to a learning style each, when concentration level from the quiet space to the active space changes. Example, quiet space from active space of easy from active space by step up floor. When I choose the learning environment that there was s oneself of the day from the conversation of the user and around the sound environment, I think that the choice of the space is hierarchy. In academic library with LC, the place to be choose by the learning activities, are organized into six by the sound environment and companion form. Factor of seat choice is the degree of the conversation of the learner, and sound environment of surrounding and density of people and space. This three stage, and it is classified among private user and the group user. After this, I need not only the active space such as LC, and it is necessary to maintain the quiet space. Next paper, I want to clarify it hierarchical structure from user's awareness and user's behavior in detail. And I want to calculate the number of seat.

1. Objectives In Japanese universities, the realization of a new type of group learning environment, based on the use of analogic and digital media, has been promoted: Learning Commons (hereinafter, "LC"). Recently, examples of LC built separately from university library have increased. In the previous report, we conducted surveys in libraries where the reading area and the LCs are integrated, aiming to clarify the seat choice behavior of individual and group users. However, it was still to define if all the users actually choose only one of those two types, or if some of them rather choose both types. For this reason, we tried to clarify the differentiated use behavior of reading areaff and LCs, aiming to acquire a useful knowledge for future learning space planning. 2. Research method We conducted a questionnaire survey and a behavior observation survey regarding the use status (addressed to users), and a questionnaire survey regarding the facility conditions (addressed to library staff). The surveys were conducted in four Japanese universities: Sugiyama Jogakuen University, Ritsumeikan University, Chubu University, and Kyoto Sangyo University, which have different LC installation types. All of those institutions have more than 6,000 students and multiple departments. The different LC installation types have been identified as “integrated open type” (Sugiyama Jogakuen Univ.), “integrated separate type” (Ritsumeikan Univ.), “distributed combined type” (Chubu Univ.), “distributed independent type” (Kyoto Sangyo Univ.). 3. Results We noted that, as for the actual conditions, LC facilities have been built outside the library building in those universities where the number of students is larger. Our hypothesis was that most of the single users tend to chose reading areas, and that most of the group users tend to chose LC; however, the results showed that around the 50% of the plural places users tend to choose both facilities, regardless of single or group use. The analysis of this portion of users’ behavior made clear that, between the reasons of their place choice, there are the possibility of using learning tools as PCs and copy machines, and the factor of nearness (LC facilities situated near the faculty building were largely used). In the “distributed type”, a large number of users chose both reading areas and LC because of the quiet environment. From this, it can be thought that by separating LC from the library building, it becomes possible to create various acoustic environments inside the vast surface obtained. Also in the “integrated open type”, where there are no partitions between reading areas and LC, and where, within the same floor, there is a differentiation of quiet and lively spaces, many users’ purpose was “to find a quiet environment”. This behavior could only mean that the concept of “quietness” is not only linked to the absence of sound. 4. Conclusions From those considerations, it seems necessary to provide a differentiation in the sound environment of the learning spaces. Even by planning spaces where there is a sort of “noisy” acoustic condition, it becomes possible to increase the place choice factors of the users.
