The Nagoya City Museum is found in the Fushimi area of Nagoya and is located between two large commercial complexes in the Nagoya CBD (Central Business District). The purpose of the study was to analyze the walking behavior of visitors to the CBD area; 1,825 questionnaires were distributed to museum visitors and 499 (27.34%) were collected.
As would be expected the visitor demographics varied slightly according to the nature of the exhibitions being held. The following findings were drawn from the data :
(1) The typical visitor unit consists of a pair of women in their forties or older, traveling by train from outside the city and visiting several museums.
(2) The average number of facilities visited by the respondents is 3.11, about the same as visitors to other facilities such as theaters; however, the time spent inside the CBD (except the museum) is about 201 minutes, which is longer than the time visitors spent in other CBD facilities.
