Abstract

Walking behavior brings vitality on streets, and pedestrian volume is closely related to commercial functions. Pedestrian volume influences on rental prices and types of retails, and it is able to dynamize commercial streets. Therefore, it is needed to find out what kind of elements affects pedestrian volume. Preceding research papers mostly focused on pedestrian satisfaction on streets so far, so analysis of walking is relatively lacked. In this study, the authors analyze the relationship between pedestrian volume and such environmental factors as land use, urban tissue, street design, and accessibility to public transportation. These elements to enhance walking are categorized into three aspects including density, diversity, and design. This study has two main purposes; first one is to examine how walking enhancing elements can influence on pedestrian volume; second, this paper will figure out what specific kind of those elements is a significant factor to pedestrian volume. Consequently, urban density is identified as the most important aspect which affects the amount of pedestrian volume, and small urban tissue is the most critical factor to pedestrian volume.
