In recent years, Kumamoto has taken various measures to improve charm and vitality of central city area. Among them it is believed that promoting the excursion of the pedestrian is one of the effective measures to make central city active. To that end, we need to analyze the actual situation of the excursion of the pedestrian in details, and it is necessary to clarify the factors and mechanisms that have an influence on the excursion.
