| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused psychological effect that urban streetscape encourages street walking and proposed the method to assess walkability of street network. The imaginary territory is a concept which means the boundary space pedestrian imagines various potential of behavior between buildings and street sidewalk. We analyzed walkability affected by the taxonomy of imaginary territory and spatial and geometric composition of street network. Psychological experiment method was proposed to rate the possibility of imaginary behaviors by walking through the virtual 3DCG urban street network. The seven types of route attributes different walkability aspects was obtained and the walking environment was analyzed in different surroundings, shopping streets, residential, residential- industrial mixed street.
