Streets are not space only for people to walk on. Especially, streets in commercial areas can be regarded as a place for many people to behave in various ways. Physical features of streets affect what people do on streets and how they do them. And existence of others may affect their behaviors, too. Also, what kind of behaviors people take affects the relationship with the street. It is, therefore, assumed that people's behaviors determine how they perceive the street. This study examines the factors which affect people's behaviors in various ways. At the same time, it also considers how streets appear to people depending on their kind of behaviors. At first, an evaluation experiment was done by showing picture of streets as stimuli. Factors in the experiment were width of the street, whether trees are planted or not, number of walkers and those who are staying, etc. As a result, it was found out that susceptibility of people's behaviors were strongly related to existence of others. However, this relationship was found to be dependent on the kinds of street; that is, in some cases existence of others disturbs their behaviors. Next, an experiment was done in which subjects actually behaved on some streets. As a result, it was found that 'suitability for human behaviors' depended on their attitude to perceive and behave on the street.
