In the preservation of historical areas, past reconstructions serve as a medium to convey the meanings embodied by physical structures of the past to contemporary audiences. In the case of the Shikemichi area, the process of modernization of Nagoya Port has transformed its urban spatial status and structure, where the generation of open spaces marked by parking spaces has played a significant role. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to examine the potential impact of parking spaces on 5 types of past reconstruction in the process of redevelopment of the area's historical identity, considering both historical and contemporary spatial structure.

“…Özer and Kubat (2007) analyzed the pedestrian movement level with street network integration as SS indicator, intensity of land use and safety in Istanbul. In Japan, in 2005 Araya et al (2005) analyzed the pedestrian numbers using both an SS indicator, integration value, and the distance from the nearest station; the SS indicator was found to be the primary factor, and the distance from the nearest station the secondary factor. Subsequently, in a multilayered analysis conducted by Ueno et al (2009), the SS indicator was also found to be the primary factor.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the factors of the estimated pedestrian numbers in Nagoya, Japan at two points of time, with the aim of clarify the impact from two Space Syntax indicators, intensity of space use, distance from the station and pavement width on the pedestrians at two points of time. Theoretical Framework: The factor ranking for pedestrians in some prior reports shows the Space Syntax indicators to be higher ranking. This suggests a possibility of pedestrian factor analysis in which the Space Syntax indicators are added to factors. However, no one has checked if the Space Syntax indicator has an influence as a factor of the pedestrian number even if the time is changed. Therefore, it is meaningful to conduct the factor analyses in multiple times and compare the models. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises the creation of the correlation matrix between pedestrian numbers and the candidate explanatory variables, conduction of the multiple linear regression analysis at two points of time and comparison of two models. Data collection was carried out through the survey of the pedestrian numbers, calculation of Space Syntax Indicators. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that the multiple correlation coefficients of the models decreased from 0.701 at first point of time to 0.562 at second point of time, but the Space Syntax indicator satisfied a significant difference at a 5% level in a t-test for the two points of time. In the discussion section, as tasks to be tackled in the future, further examination of points of time along with understanding the likely influence of Space Syntax indicators if other factors significantly change will clarify the validity of the Space Syntax indicators. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by showing that the Space Syntax indicator has a certain degree of influence as a factor of the pedestrian number even though a point of time and pedestrians are changed.

“…Japanese research in recent years has reported factor analysis in which sensitivity evaluation of such factors as the exterior or entrance, internal configuration, actual position of room(s), or the like are added to the conventional building attributes; however, regarding location attributes, apart from the street familiarity, conventional factors have been used for analysis, and the visible area and integration value of the SS measures have never been used. The previous factor analysis using the SS measures often targeted pedestrians (e.g., Araya et al 2005;Ueno and Kishimoto 2008), but analysis has been made using land price measures, which have a correlation with rent, and it was found the SS measures were significant in a statistical test (Ota and Kaneda 2015).…”

The determinants of residential, office and commercial rent are each analyzed by taking the 10 min walking distance area around Shibuya Station in Tokyo as the research target area. Conventional physical and quantitative factors such as distance from the nearest station, the width of the frontal road, age of the building, the number of floors, total floor area, contracted floor area, building structure etc. are included in the multiple-regression analysis as well as qualitative factors such as the visible area representing visibility on a main street and the integration value representing street network centrality—easy accessibility from other locations such as any intersection points—based on the space syntax measures (SS measures) used in the analysis by Jake Desyllas from University College of London. It is shown that both SS measures affect the rent for all the residential, office and commercial uses with the statistically significant level of 5%. It is quantitatively confirmed that the residential rent increases in a secluded location, and the office and commercial rent rise in a location with high street network centrality and good access, which would suggest that the SS measures are crucial important rent factors for residential, offices, and commercial uses in other places in Japan.
