Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in enhancing pedestrian access in urban areas. This paper uses a combination of methodologies to assess the quality of pedestrian pathways in Shahrak-e-Gharb District, Tehran.
The walk-ability of diverse pathway configurations is first analyzed by using the Space Syntax methodology. As a result, a set of streets are selected for further investigation. Then, pedestrian discomfort levels are determined for the selected pathways by comparing the sidewalk pavement width with movement characteristics. Then, by using the Systematic Pedestrian and Cycling Environmental Scan (SPACES) methodology, the walk-ability of these pathways is assessed based on their physical characteristics.
The selected pathways are finally rated on the basis of all these methodologies. The characteristics of the top-ranking street, Dadman Boulevard, could accordingly be referred to as a set of optimal properties for a walk-able pathway.
