GPS・GISを用いた鎌倉市における観光客の歩行行動調査とアクティビティの分析(第4部 学術論文,情報化の視点からみた建築・都市のフロンティア)  [in Japanese] The Analysis for Visitors' Behavior and Activity Using GPS and GIS in Kamakura City(New Frontiers of Architecture and Urbanism in Information Driven Society)  [in Japanese]

We suggest a new method using GPS to investigate human activities in an urban area. The time and space data of tourists' migration in a specific tourist area from GPS are focused on. The data are visualized on GIS so that pedestrians' activity can be analyzed including notion of time. From the analysis, places that pedestrians tend to stay longer or move slower, and those that they aren't, are found. As a case study, we analyze activity in Kamakura City using the suggested method, and examine the possibilities of application for the urban space design.
