Abstract
In planning and designing a marina for a public marine recreation to be involved in waterfront development, it is very important to grasp the significance of the waterfront for the urban residents and reflect it into the environmental consideration by clarifying the processes of variation in their behavior and perception as visitors to the waterfront.
From this point of view, a questionnaire survey was conducted and analyzed to investigate the utilization status and the visitors' perception at a public marina called “Shinmoji Marina” in Kitakyushu City.
This paper first outlines Shinmoji Marina and the questionnaire survey, followed by the detailed results of the questionnaire survey and its analysis.
