Abstract
Our previous researches have been made to identify specific relationships between tourists' image of a sightseeing area and their excursion patterns in the visited day. This paper aims to develop a method for the planning and improvement of walk trails in Raku-tou area in Kyoto city analyzing these relationships quantitatively. The results of this analysis indicate that three types of walk trails are proposed such as mountainside walks, waterfront walks, and a walk approaching a downtown. They also show that, for each of these walk trails, basic concepts underlying such a planning and improvement method are presented as well as some important problems to be solved.
