Just as motorization has altered the urban form, the growing popularity of the internet is likely to transform the urban form again to a fundamental degree. An “internet-conscious city plan” that includes such a transformation must be considered. This study specifically addressed check-in actions on SNS for records of special experiences, and systematically analyzed the distribution, amount, and quality of spots. Additionally, the study examined results from an existing plan of core areas for a compact city. Results clarified that some cities accumulate check-in actions in core areas, but others do not. Questionnaire survey results show that sufficient consideration must be devoted to the internet in future city planning.
