PEDESTRIAN PLANNING AND DESIGN

THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING IN URBAN DESIGN AND THE PROBLEMS OF PEDESTRIANS IN CITIES ARE ESTABLISHED. THERE IS A BRIEF INSIGHT INTO SOME OF TEN HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF PEDESTRIAN SPACES. THE TRAFFIC AND SPACE CHARACTERISTICS OF PEDESTRIANS ARE DEVELOPED IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL FOR AN UNDERSTANDING OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC RELATIONSHIPS. DESCRIPTIONS OF PEDESTRIAN- TRAFFIC INTERACTIONS AT VARIOUS HUMAN SPACE OCCUPANCIES PROVIDE A USEFUL SUPPLEMENT FOR EVALUATING THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN QUALITY OF PEDESTRIAN BUILDING AND STREET SPACES. THE OBJECTIVES OF PEDESTRIAN PLANNING PROGRAMS, STUDY PROCEDURES AND METHODS OF PLAN IMPLEMENTATION ARE ILLUSTRATED, AND THE DESIGN DISCUSSION IS SUPPLEMENTED BY ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT ARE REVIEWED. /AUTHOR/
