PEDESTRIAN PATH CHOICE AND WAYFINDING BEHAVIOR IN THE STREET SPACE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITION

車両通行の多い街路空間での経路選択と探索行動

The purpose of this study is to clarify a part of the process in spatial cognition by analyzing the relationship between the eye fixation behavior and the pedestrian movement. This moving experiment for searching the famous sightseeing spots was performed on the busy quarter street of Roma. From the experiments, the following can be concluded. 1) A subject's walking course pattern with low degree of spatial cognition has the "shortest path type" and the "semi-shortest path type". 2) Head moving action shows a tendency to be reduced in the "square" and linear streets.
