Sun Feb 23 2025
In today's fast-paced world, cities are growing quickly, and outdoor ads are becoming a big part of how cities look. This makes it super important to have a way to judge how good these ads look. A recent study set out to create a system to do just that, giving city planners and ad designers some useful tips. The study started by figuring out what makes people think an outdoor ad is good or bad. They talked to lots of people and asked them questions to find out what matters most. Then, they used a special model called the Kano model to see how residents and tourists feel about city ads. They also looked at how much these two groups care about different parts of the ads. One big finding was that residents and tourists have different ideas about what makes an ad good. Residents really care about ads that are easy to understand, fun, and fit well with the city's culture and environment. They also want ads that give useful info like social services. Tourists, on the other hand, want ads that are quick to respond to their needs. But there was some agreement too. Both groups thought that ads should be easy to understand and fit well with their surroundings. They also agreed that ads should be interesting and entertaining. The study also found that residents and tourists have different ideas about what needs to be improved. Residents want ads that are clear, fun, and fit well with the city. Tourists, on the other hand, want ads that are quick to respond to their needs. This research gives city planners and ad designers some solid advice. It shows them what people really care about when it comes to outdoor ads. This can help them make better ads that people will like. The study also shows that there's no one-size-fits-all answer. What works for residents might not work for tourists, and vice versa. So, it's important to think about who the ads are for and what they need. The research also shows that outdoor ads can be more than just ads. They can be a way to share important info with people. This can help make cities more livable and welcoming for everyone.
