Abstract
Based on tendencies of pedestrain path choice revealed in the previous paper through field surveys of mass flow in the case of two parallel equivalent paths at several traffic facilities, experiments have been executed in order to confirm these tendencies, particularly focusing on the "macro-scopic orientation to destination," in individual path choice behavior through artificial settings at interior scale. As for right-handed subjects, the results have shown some clear choosing patterns as follows : a) the choice of left-side path, b) the avoidance of backward path, c) the macro-scopic orientation to destination, and d) the valence of frontality of destination.
