IMPROVING THE PEDESTRIAN'S ENVIRONMENT. A RESEARCH PROJECT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT. VOLUME 1: PRINCIPLE FINDINGS. VOLUME 2: LITERATURE REVIEW. VOLUME 3: THE CASE STUDIES. VOLUME 4: CASE STUDY DATA.
Over 18 months, an extensive literature search on a wide range of aspects of activity and case studies in three areas of London and Birmingham were undertaken. A total of eight surveys were carried out using street and household interviews, deposited questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. Observations of traffic and environmental characteristics (including noise, smoke, pedestrian delay and crowding) were conducted simultaneously with the street interviews. This four-volume report presents the results of the research. The overall conclusion is that an advance of knowledge about the pedestrian has been achieved, though much remains to be done to improve the pedestrian's environment, particularly in the area of conflict between walking and other means of transport.
