Abstract
The street furniture supplies convenience in residential daily life, where walkability has been shown associated with people’s behavior pattern including walking outside, life circle, and personal preference: (a) walking behavior is mainly limited by the urban spatial configuration; (b) life circle means the usage of street furniture as an event during the walking route; and (c) personal preference appears in the different utilizations among the urban facilities in some same conditions. The usage data was collected in Turin, by mapping, counting, tracing, and so on (PSPL). The geographical data was analyzed by space syntax theory. Influence factors for walkability of street furniture were proposed by overlaying different behavioral layers. With the combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, the result grasped the public activities in open public space and behavior characteristics, providing the basis for designing and placing new street furniture in existing square for promotion of public daily life.
