PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT PATTERNS AND STREET FURNITURE

Reflecting today's trend for making human life more comfortable, street furniture in the outdoor environment is becoming more visible in greater kinds and varieties. There are yet a number of problems to be solved, however. The problems include the role of street furniture, which was originally intended to support outdoor human behavior, in existing cities, and the point of view or design method that should be employed in planning street furniture. This paper touches upon the basic ideas and design concepts regarding street furniture as it relates to human behavior from the perspective of environmental design. It is divided into 6 chapters covering: (1) concept of street furniture; (2) street furniture in the pedestrian environment; (3) reality of sidewalk street furniture; (4) ideal street furniture planning in the pedestrian environment; (5) pedestrian environment in a housing estate (a case study); and (6) conclusion.
