In recent years, river space has been attracting attention as a valuable waterfront space within the city. River space is an open space that extends along a line, and it is expected to bring liveliness to a wide area within a city by taking advantage of its characteristics in terms of the development of waterfront spaces. In this study, we focus on the characteristics of the Nakagawa River in Fukuoka City and analyze the environment of the river such as surrounding land use and the revetment situation and the moving and staying behavior of people on a broad scale by utilizing the GPS data sets. As a result, it is clarified how the river is currently used and how it has the potential be used in the future.
