INVESTIGATION OF CONVERTED WALKING DISTANCE CONSIDERING RESISTANCE OF TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES AND CHANGES IN PHYSICAL STRENGTH BY AGE : Model for location planning of regional facilities considering topographical condition and aging society Part 1

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a method for location planning of regional facilities. To this end, this article aims at formulating converted walking distance considering resistance of topographical features as well as changes in physical strength by age. Two types of converted distance, one based on dynamics and the other based on consumption calorie, are compared with direct distance and route distance in terms of user distribution of a regional facility in Tama New Town. The result shows that the converted distance based on consumption calorie gives the best model among the four types of distance.
