Method to Investigate and Analyze Services at Railway Stations Based on Quantitative Assessment of Spatial Recognition

Yuichi SHINOE    Hiroaki SUZUKI


  To quantitatively assess the recognition of railway stations and other spatially spread areas and analyze the services required for such objects, it is effective to apply a surveying technique that uses the drawing method. It requires a tremendous amount of labor, however, to feed the data thus obtained into a computer for carrying out detailed analysis. Therefore, this paper proposes a new variation of drawing method to easily acquire and process data and introduces the results of a case study to have surveyed and analyzed the services required for railway stations in urban areas of Tokyo.
