  • ANALYSIS OF VISITOR BEHAVIOR IN THE CITY CENTER USING Wi-Fi ACCESS POINT DATA

    Atsushi UECHI, Daisuke KAMIYA, Daisuke FUKUDA

    Japanese Journal of JSCE Special issue (Infrastructure Planning and management) ( Japan Society of Civil Engineers )  80 ( 20 ) n/a - n/a   2024 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

    Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

     View Summary

    <p>Local cities in Japan are losing their vitality and liveliness due to a decrease in the residential population, traffic congestion, and unregulated proliferation of urban functions. In the city center area of Naha City, the target area of this study, transit malls and other revitalization measures have been implemented, but a method for quantitatively evaluating the effects of these measures by monitoring human flow has not been established. This study utilizes Wi-Fi access point data to examine the characteristics of visits to Kokusai Street before and after Corona by visitors to the city center. As a result, we found a decrease in the time spent in the area and a change in the bustling area of the town, suggesting that the behavioral characteristics can be grasped and applied to a monitoring method for the flow of people in the central city area.</p>

  • Study on the undergrounding and utility pole removal projects in coastal sightseeing region using tsunami evacuation simulation

    KAMIYA Daisuke, UECHI Atsushi, OBA Tetsuharu

    Artificial Intelligence and Data Science ( Japan Society of Civil Engineers )  5 ( 3 ) 480 - 486   2024 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

    Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

     View Summary

    <p>There has been considerable debate about the necessity of removing utility poles, yet there are significant challenges in determining the most appropriate priorities. Furthermore, while the removal of utility poles has been discussed from the perspectives of scenery, traffic safety, and disaster prevention, there has been limited research from the perspective of disaster prevention. With regard transportation roads from the perspective of disaster prevention, discussion has also been limited to remove utility poles from emergency transportation roads from the perspective of removing obstacles to disaster recovery.</p><p>This study, focused on the urban area of Ishigaki city, which is at risk of tsunami disasters. The priority of removing utility poles from the perspective of their importance as evacuation routes was examined based on an analysis of the evacuation behavior of residents and tourists. Consequently, the number of individuals evacuating a given road can be utilizes to identify which roads should be prioritized for construction without utility poles.</p>

  • ANALYSIS OF THE BIKE-SHAREING SYSTEM UTILIZATION CHARACTERISTICS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN URBAN AREAS OF OKINAWA MAIN ISLAND

    UECHI Atsushi, KAMIYA Daisuke, HIGA Sota

    Japanese Journal of JSCE ( Japan Society of Civil Engineers )  80 ( 5 ) n/a - n/a   2024 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

    Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

     View Summary

    <p> The use of bicycles has been attracting attention in response to recent changes in social conditions and various issues. To promote bicycle use, although it is important to improve the environment for bicycle use and to grasp the actual status of bicycle use, there has been no sufficient analysis of bicycle use in Okinawa Prefecture.</p><p> In this paper, we clarify the actual status of bicycle use by type of use in the central and south area of Okinawa main island. Demand analysis in combination with socio-demographic data was also conducted to identify factors contributing to bicycle use. As a result, it was clarified that bicycle use is more frequent in the area where monorail stations and government facilities are located, and that bicycle use is more frequent in the morning and the evening, when traffic is congested daily.</p>

  • Evaluation of Revitalization Measures for Central City Areas Considering Changes in Human Flows

    Uechi Atsushi, Kamiya Daisuke, Yamanaka Ryo, Fukuda Daisuke, Suga Yoshiki

    Journal of Digital Life ( 株式会社 産経デジタル )  4 ( 0 ) n/a   2024 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

    Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

     View Summary

    In recent years, a declining population and an aging and decline have led to a reduction in the vibrancy and economic activity of the city. Various regional cities have taken measures to revitalize their central city areas. However, they have yet to develop a method to quantify the effects of these measures. In this study, using a device equipped with Internet of Things (IoT), we obtained basic data on the number of visitors before the COVID-19 to quantify pedestrian traffic along Kokusai Street. Our findings revealed that the implementation of revitalization strategies led to a notable increase in the number of individuals visiting the area, as well as in the average duration of their stay. This suggests that the implemented measures have the potential to contribute to the revitalization of the area, thereby fostering the creation of a vibrant town center.
