6 . The walking evaluation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to determine whether the user is during a movement by walking, based on at least one of a movement velocity being computed based on a time change of the position information, a measurement result of an acceleration sensor included in a portable terminal possessed by the user, an input of a walking movement start/end to a portable terminal possessed by the user, and an analysis result of an image generated by a surveillance camera installed on a road, and acquire the position information indicating the current position of the user being determined to be during a movement by walking.
7 . The walking evaluation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to compute a privilege to be provided to the user, based on the evaluation value.
8 . The walking evaluation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user receives, views, and listens to a content transmitted from a base station on a portable terminal, and the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to compute the evaluation value in response to viewing and listening of the content.
9 . The walking evaluation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to: transmit a content to a portable terminal of the user via a base station; and transmit, to the portable terminal, a signal for controlling display/non-display of the content in response to a state of the user.
10 . The walking evaluation apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a distribution area of a content transmitted from the base station changes in response to a display change in a signal light.
11 . A walking evaluation method, comprising, by a computer: acquiring position information indicating a current position of a user during a movement by walking; acquiring, from storage unit that stores traffic rule information indicating a traffic rule for each position, the traffic rule information indicating the traffic rule around the current position; acquiring behavior information indicating a behavior content of the user; determining whether the traffic rule around the current position is observed, based on the behavior information; and computing an evaluation value of a way of walking by the user, based on the determination result, wherein the behavior information indicates at least one of presence or absence of an operation performed on a portable terminal possessed by the user, and an operation content.
12 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to: acquire position information indicating a current position of a user during a movement by walking; acquire, from storage unit that stores traffic rule information indicating a traffic rule for each position, the traffic rule information indicating the traffic rule around the current position; acquire behavior information indicating a behavior content of the user; determine whether the traffic rule around the current position is observed, based on the behavior information; and compute an evaluation value of a way of walking by the user, based on the determination result, wherein the behavior information indicates at least one of presence or absence of an operation performed on a portable terminal possessed by the user, and an operation content.
