The system comprises a storage unit, which stores a data on area divided to a non-pedestrian area and a pedestrian area, a data on street, i.e. a region where pedestrians can walk in each of the areas, a data of block where pedestrians cannot walk in each of the areas, an index for searching the block or the street from an address or a name, and a table describing areas belonging to each section on a map, and a pedestrian information processing unit, which comprises an input/output control unit for receiving input from a user, a pedestrian map data searching unit for acquiring a pedestrian map data suitable for inputting from the storage unit, and a pedestrian route searching unit for searching a route for pedestrians using the acquired data. The system can quickly provide the user with pedestrian route information suitable for pedestrians and walking conditions.
