| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In an aging society with fewer children, promoting livable environment for people with infants is growing more important. This study has examined how to improve residential area from both hardware and software aspects.
The results show the following; first, measures for bicycle traffic and sidewalk 2 m or more are necessary to improve security mind of pedestrian with infants. Second, the number of children has a great effect on occurrences of children’s activities. Additionally, their activities are likely to occur on the road far from elementary school and the one with wide sidewalk.
