QUALITY PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS. A SOLUTION FOR AN EFFECTIVE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEM

This study has analysed the urban mobility of Palermo. The city is characterised by a presence of tourist flows and by a high rate of not systematic mobility. Particular attention has been put in analysing the transport network. In order to make the public transport system more attractive for the users, the increasing of the pedestrian walkway quality, in terms of comfort and environmental quality, could be an effective approach to the problem. Specific surveys have been conducted in order to measure the pedestrian walkway quality in different areas of the city using a quantitative method. The research has then verified, by a logic model calibrated using the revealed preference technique, the effect that the level of service at the pedestrian walkways has on the demand modal split.
