Abstract
The incidental facilities of waterfront hotels, such as tennis courts and marinas, are constructed for urban waterfront utilization. In designing and planning a waterfront it is necessary to determine the significance of the waterfront to urban residents and to reflect such considerations in environmental planning, as well as to clarify variations in visitors' behavior and perception of the waterfront.
To this aim. a questionnaire survey, as previously reported, was conducted of the Kitakyushu and Fukuoka Cities' private and public marinas, regarding “Utilization Status and Visitors' Perception”. A similar questionnaire survey was conducted on the marina and tennis court of the Hotel UMINONAKAMICHI, which serves as accommodation for visitors to the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park.
This paper will begin by introducing a summary of the marina and tennis court of the Hotel UMINONAKAMICHI, followed by details and analysis of the questionnaire survey, and characteristics of urban residents' ideas and perceptions toward each of the facilities.
