Based upon Questionare Data at Fukuoka City

Abstract

In paper presentation at the JASI meeting of 2001, we showed a classification of walkers in commercial area of inner city based upon a questionnaire survey held on Daimyo Dicstrict of Fukuoka City. The classification concludes that purposes of walkers at commercial area is very diverse and these walkers were classified into 17 types. This paper aims to analise how is the relation between typical pattern and the walk path history based upon 371 walk path data. If typical walker type have some regularity in the walking history, we may be able to assume typical pattern to take advantage of the walking history.
