THE IMPACT OF PEDESTRIANIZATION SCHEMES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AT CENTRAL AREAS

Pedestrianization schemes are quite often implemented at central areas which are characterized by significant traffic and environmental problems. The impact of such schemes includes, among others, the improvement of the accessibility level of the land use system in the area for the pedestrians, the separation of traffic from the pedestrian flows, the overall improvement of air pollution emission due to traffic, the resolvement of the visual intrusion problem, and finally, the provision of a safe environment for the vulnerable road users.
