Assessing the pedestrians' perception of the sidewalk facilities based on pedestrian travel purpose

Walking involve interaction between the local environment in a way that is not possible through motor transport. Good, well maintained and safe pedestrian sidewalk facilities that are comfortable to be used by the pedestrians could encourage people to travel by walking. Different travel purpose usually influences the pedestrian perception towards the existing pedestrian sidewalk facilities. A questionnaire survey was carried out in order to assess the pedestrian travel purpose and pedestrians' perception of the existing sidewalk facilities. A mix land-use area within the city of Kuala Lumpur that consists of shopping mall, public transport service, business center and education center were chosen as the study area. This study found that safety of the sidewalk is the most important factor to pedestrian regardless of their travel purpose. Whereas, aesthetic and amenities are important factor for pedestrians that used the sidewalk for shopping or leisure purposes and transit commuters. In conclusion, most of the pedestrian does not satisfied with the existing sidewalk facilities condition but in different aspect based on the pedestrians' purposes.
