In this study, we have implemented an observation research to clarify the relationship between occurrences of stop without purpose and stop with purpose and space conditions in an underground shopping arcade. It was observed that actions of stop without purpose like; "watching commodities or advertisements" happen in spaces where eye-catching objects exist, and actions of stop with purpose like "choosing a destination", "watching information" and "taking out and putting in baggage" happen at exits to ground and in spaces where many partitions lie next to each other. However, actions of stop with purpose like; "using cellular phone" were observed everywhere.
It was observed that actions of stop with purpose like; "conversation" and "getting together" happen close to entrance gates and at exits to ground and spaces where many partitions lie next to each other. And it was observed that actions of stop with purpose like; "telephoning" and "buying ticket" happen close to entrance gates around exits to ground, and actions of stop with purpose like; "eating and drinking" happen around restaurants.
As mentioned above, it has been proved that actions of stop without purpose are often observed in gateway spaces and actions of stop with purpose in open spaces.
