Abstract
Tokyo is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and the high population density of urban areas requires special measures to make these areas sustainable, attractive, safe, and friendly to residents. This study combines the methods of GSV and extensive GIS data to assess the walkability of an urban area in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. These measures help us better understand the impact of street-level urban design features on the walkability of healthy urban design and planning. Signboards and greenery play a critical role in improving the visual appearance and sustainability of urban areas. However, the management and monitoring of these elements can be a challenging task for city authorities due to their vast number and geographical spread. The Google Street View (GSV) Image API provides a solution that can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of managing these elements in the city. This proposal aims to explore how GSV can be used to achieve this objective.
