The spatial composition and characteristics of plazas in underground shopping malls across Japan were clarified. The spatial composition of squares was clarified in terms of (1) their relationship with walking spaces such as passageways and stairways, (2) the installation of interior materials, (3) space staging methods, and (4) diversification of maintenance details. It was found that the plaza has diversified in terms of maintenance methods and uses compared to when it was first established. In addition, the relationship between the plaza and the pedestrian space confirmed its function and characteristics.
