The objective of this study is to understand the characteristics and structure of visitors' evaluation on waterfront area and its environment. A questionnaire survey was conducted at two waterside parks in Tokyo on the perception of visitors, and analyzed by factor analysis and CATDAP method. As a result, it is clarified that the first step evaluations such as the satisfaction to 'accessibility to waterfront' and 'bird and fish' contribute to human relaxation and recreation. Furthermore, it is revealed that the items which contribute most to overall evaluation are the sense of 'refreshed' and 'familiar' at the waterfront.
