Research on Extraction of Blank Space on Streets and Addition of Place Function: A Case Study of Tenjin Meiji-dori area

The purpose of this research is to extract blank space for each time period and evaluate the retention potential to obtain knowledge for utilizing it as retention space. A survey was conducted on streets and public open spaces in the Tenjin Meiji-dori district of Fukuoka City. The target area was classified into six types based on spatial characteristics and traffic volume. In addition, we analyzed the differences in the number of passersby and their attributes under conditions such as time of day and day of the week. Based on these potential evaluations and verification through demonstration experiments, it has become possible to propose flexible place functions according to the time of day and passers-by.
