Many studies have been conducted over the last 20 years to determine and measure factors that affect walkability of city streets. Walkability is an essential factor in deciding whether a green or sustainable. This paper creates comprehensive index by analysing built environmental indicators walkability. research was on mixed land use streets Cairo, Egypt, combining results from online survey as...

Spatial layout design must consider not only ease of movement for pedestrians under normal conditions, but also their safety in panic situations, such as an emergency evacuation in a theatre, stadium or hospital. Using pedestrian simulation statistics, the movement of crowds can be used to study the consequences of different spatial layouts. Previous works either create an optimal spatial arran...

OBJECTIVE To compare child pedestrian injury events occurring in driveways and parking lots and at midblock and intersections with respect to characteristics and activity of the child, injury outcome measures, and characteristics of the vehicle and roadway. DESIGN Descriptive case series. SETTING Data were obtained from a multihospital/coroner monitoring system, during 2 years in an urban c...

People -both residents and visitors- have certain images of streets alleys Kagurazaka. For example, Kagurazaka Street, the main street area, is vibrant with many shops restaurants. The historic are narrow stone-paved, surrounded by black wood-board wall, quiet. However, quantity analysis streetscape in Kagurazaka, from pedestrian views, not been done. Such study important to recognize share cur...

BACKGROUND Providing infrastructure and land uses to encourage active travel (i.e., bicycling and walking) are promising strategies for designing health-promoting cities. Population-level exposure to air pollution during active travel is understudied. OBJECTIVES Our goals were a) to investigate population-level patterns in exposure during active travel, based on spatial estimates of bicycle t...

Slow walking speed is strongly associated with adverse health outcomes, including cognitive impairment, in the older population. Moreover, adequate walking speed is crucial to maintain older pedestrians' mobility and safety in urban areas. This study aimed to identify the proportion of Swiss older adults that didn't reach 1.2 m/s, which reflects the requirements to cross streets within the gree...

In this study, we propose two models for predicting people's activity. The first model is the pedestrian distribution prediction (or postdiction) model by multiple regression analysis using space syntax indices of urban fabric and people distribution data obtained from a field survey. The second model is a street choice model for visitors using multinomial logit model. We performed a questionna...
