Abstract

In recent years, the urban policy of compact city concept, which locates workplaces and entertainment facilities near homes, has been promoted. However, it may cause narrowing action range and thus losing the opportunity to obtain information and diversity. Under the condition of a constant density, the number of available facilities for dropping in on is reduced because many types of function are integrated. Thus, this paper studied urban space composition easy to dropping in by focusing on placement of workplaces and entertainment facilities as well as homes. The analysis of virtual cities revealed that, in certain conditions on available time and the route of dropping in, a city where areas of different types of function are separated is easy to drop in.
