FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS OF PEDESTRIANS IN A RECTANGULAR GRID
THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF PEDESTRIANS OVER RECTANGULAR STREET NETWORKS, AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF ASSUMPTIONS ARE COVERED ABOUT HOW PEDESTRIANS SELECT A PARTICULAR PATH WHEN WALKING FROM AN ORIGIN, SAY A HOUSE OR A SUBWAY STATION, TO A DESTINATION, E.G. A STORE OR CITY HALL. IF A PERSON PLANS A WALK WITH A PURPOSE IN VIEW, POINTS IN SPACE TAKE THE ROLE OF ORIGIN AND DESTINATION. SOME DESTINATIONS ARE ASSUMED TO BE INDEPENDENT OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE PERSONS SEEKING THEM (E.G. SCHOOLS AND OFFICES); OTHERS (E.G. CAFES AND OPEN SPACES) ARE NOT. FOR THE SECOND CLASS, IT IS DESIRABLE TO MAXIMIZE THEIR USE BY LOCATING THEM ON STREET SECTIONS WHERE MANY PEOPLE PASS BY. URBAN GROWTH MODELS PREDICT OR FORECAST THE LOCATION OF LAND USES BY SPECIFYING HOW MANY SQUARE FEET WILL, OR SHOULD, BE DEVELOPED, OVER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, WITHIN A TRACT OR 2 SQUARE MILE. YET IN GENERAL NO STATEMENT IS MADE ABOUT WHERE WITHIN THAT AREA THE PREDICTED LAND USE WILL, OR SHOULD, BE LOCATED. ONE ASPECT OF THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR THE DISTRIBUTION OF LAND USES AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF PEDESTRIANS MAY INFLUENCE EACH OTHER. /AUTHOR/
