Abstract

The road space reallocation project in the main street of Osaka, Midosuji has started since 2017 to realize the concept of human-centered urban space in response to the change of social trend and conditions. The initial pilot project has been undertaken in the way of increasing the space for pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, a comfortable space in the reallocated section has been created as an experimental study. While the Level of Service concept was widely employed to evaluate user comfort issues in the transportation field but it is unknown that the LOS concept could apply to these space differences and evaluate the reallocation effect correctly. Therefore the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of space reallocation on street users using the LOS concept through questionnaire and observational surveys. 3 different street sections including a narrow mixed pavement, a wide shared pavement, and a wide shared pavement with comfortable space were compared focusing on the difference between subjective and objective comfort.
