USAGE AND EVALUATION OF THE GREENWAY FOR ELDERLY: A case study of green matrix system in Kohoku New Town

The purpose of this study is to clarify the usage and evaluation structure of greenway for the elderly. Through a questionnaire survey, the “life factor” and “walking factor” have an impact on the “comprehensive evaluation” from the evaluation structure model. And the link between “bicycle factor” and “comprehensive evaluation” is not significant. For the other hands, the free description of the walking environment shows that the elderly is sensitive to the safety aspects of bicycles. The elderly who use the greenway as a “travel route to the destination” is aware of safety.
