In the densely wooded residential areas of Osaka, many narrow streets with widths of less than 4 meters, called “alleys,” remain along with row houses built by the housing supply. While these streets pose urban planning problems, the atmosphere of human-scale space has recently been recognized as a unique attraction. In this study, we conducted a field survey of the row houses accumulation area in Osaka City, focusing on private use. The purpose of this study was to clarify how alley spaces are used, and to gain basic knowledge on issues and their future utilization.
