Abstract
Nowadays, the historical cities such as Important Preservation Districts of Traditional Buildings are getting popular among tourists. In these cities, old and narrow roads remain. It would be dangerous for pedestrians to walk around the area if the number of cars used by tourists increases. This study aims to make it clear how pedestrians are influenced by cars running in these cities to use parking space. We define that walkability is evaluated by the frequency of crossing flow lines of pedestrians and vehicles and proximity of cars to pedestrians. Then, we estimate that how walkability would change if parking space is relocated.
