In recent years, even in areas that should serve as bases for urban compactification, unused land, so-called idle space, randomly appears temporally and spatially. It can lead to a decline in the vitality of the area. This idle space can be classified into three categories according to the cause of its occurrence: facilities that are no longer used, surplus space, and space whose usage decreases depending on the time of day. The surplus space generated in the city center has a large floating population and is often used for community activities. This study investigated the intention to participate in the event for regional revitalization and its characteristics in train station square, an idle space in the city center. Based on the reason for participating in the event and interaction with other participants, this study focused on the requirements for the residents to communicate with others voluntarily. The finding of this analysis can be helpful in active and continuous interaction between residents in idle spaces such as public squares in the future.
