In recent years, the utilization of pedestrian flow data has been gaining attention in regional revitalization. Understanding current pedestrian flow is crucial for effectively guiding tourists and residents to attractive regional spots, maximizing the area’s appeal. The availability of large-scale GPS location data from smartphones has enabled the identification of specific movement patterns. However, these data provide a broad overview but often have limited time granularity and lack detailed movement destination data necessary for simulating pedestrian flow, presenting challenges in capturing detailed patterns within specific areas. This study explores a method to simulate pedestrian flow within an area of approximately 1 square kilometer by estimating pedestrians’ origins and destinations (OD) using GPS location data, which is low in temporal resolution but available over vast areas.
