A Study on the Actual Condition of Use of the Wakayama Castle Park during Events

Abstract

The aims of this study are to classify events held in the plaza in the Wakayama Castle Park to understand how it is being used, and to observe and investigate the locations and behavior of users during events, thereby clarifying how the space is being used. From the results, the events held could be categorized into festivals, sports, and sales. The survey results also clarified that there were areas where groups were spaced apart and people tended to gather in clusters during events.
