Abstract

Spaces for pedestrians’ stationary activities on urban streets is important to regain the bustle of the central urban area. However, spaces for mobility and stationary activities are not functionally assigned. To propose a method for the assignment in a road network, it is necessary to clarify the behavioral characteristics of pedestrians’ location choice for stationary activities. In this research, stationary activities were classified from the viewpoint of location choice. “Selective stationary activities” for which pedestrians would spontaneously choose the location was focused among them. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the three types of stationary activities and it became clear that influencing factors differ by the activity types. It was shown that people with longer duration of stationary activities prefer to choose less crowded locations rather than nearer but more crowded locations.
