In this paper, first, the authors summarize the walking activities of Nagoya CBD visitors, especially on their walking distances and routes, based on our survey. Next, in order to analyze such activities, we propose a framework of three different indicators on their redundancy levels : (1) the first redundancy can be interpreted as detours between facilities, (2) the second one is caused by visiting unplanned facilities, and (3) the third means the walking efficiency on their visit orders. Then, we analyze the explanation factors mainly from the aspects of visitors' attributes through some statistical tests. Last, we are to find the characteristics of their 'shop-around behaviors'.
