Summary In the Urban Planning Department, we have been seeking effective ways to make street spaces comfortable for various pedestrians. Here we introduce a study in which we analyze the use of urban street spaces, focusing on neighborhood watch. The study suggests that the category of facilities along neighborhood streets affects the daily pattern of the route of residents, so that it should be planned carefully in order to encourage the outdoor activity of children.
