In Japan’s regional cities, there is a movement to increase the social population of young people through the use of space through public-private partnerships. It is important for young people to be aware of and use such initiatives. In this study, we examined the youth’s place and use of space in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. Through a questionnaire survey and interview survey, we analyzed the places for young people from the viewpoints of both providers and users. It was found that there is a correlation between public/private space utilization and the whereabouts of young people.
