Abstract
Most populous cities in Japan have large underground shopping streets located at transportation hubs. These areas are used for retail purposes and also serve as commuter links between adjacent railway stations and attractions. Through detailed observations and surveys, this study developed pedestrian route-choice models in these large, underground shopping areas. These models have the potential to play an important role in the planning of underground shopping malls, including plans for stimulating retail activity during non-threatening times and a refuge plan during times of emergency.
