Identifying the Arrangement of Activities of Corridor Spaces in Transit Station

Public transit passengers use corridor spaces in transit stations to access transit services. These transit stations are designed for multi-modal transportation purposes, as space which connects each mode of transit between stations or planned areas plays an important role in the movement of passengers from one mode to another. The characteristics of corridor space vary according to the surrounding activities which shape their diverse functions and the time taken by passengers to connect between transit modes. An exploratory analysis was conducted to determine the basic properties and functions of corridor spaces in Hakata station, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan with regard to the availability of transit services and activities in station building area. Commercial and facilities activities were selected to identify the characteristics of corridor spaces. A spatial analysis of activities located along the corridor spaces and architectural performance was also conducted using the betweenness analysis in order to identify the interaction between subjected activities and archtecture space in station building. Each type also contained specific functions which defined its spatial performance regarding transit mode connection behavior. Results suggested that the arrangement of activities in corridor spaces influenced passenger route-choice accessibility.Downloads
