The circumstances that occur are things that considered as potentially not being used. Area revitalization uses Place Attachment theory as a basis, outdoor space design theory as a determinant of the needs of tourist areas, and Kevin Lynch's theory will be used to determine what is considered attractive and has the potential to be developed or removed.
