Users frequently seek a location to recline or rest by engaging in a physical activity such as sitting. Sitting is a typical behaviour, and individuals seek out a seating space when they are fatigued. Human Behaviour will believe that a level elevated surface is a good location to sit. Furthermore, the steps have a variety of levels and are shaded by trees. This image conveys a lot of information regarding street furniture and the significance of placing street furniture in an open area. Seating and street furniture are a fantastic mix with fun design to attract users, but they must first represent the character of the location to play and how people will adapt to the identity.
