Abstract
Physical control of pedestrian traffic tends to have priority over quality of that in planning of pedestrian space like a sidewalk. But, pedestrian space, where various pedestrian's purposes and characteristics are intermingled, make so complicated that they cannot be providing a supposed service. This research focused on relation between pedestrian's behavior and using conditions of a sidewalk as an example of pedestrian space, and analyzed influence by pedestrians in groups and ones using portable equipments on service of pedestrian space. Thus, it is clarified that pedestrian characteristics and an oncoming traffic related to the walking speed or the occurrence of conflict comparatively by multivariate analysis. Finally, this research considered influence of these pedestrians by showing quantitatively the change in the level of service from stand point of those indexes.=
