Abstract
One of the most important ways to improve pedestrian spaces is to quantitatively analyze the preferences of pedestrians through concrete and empirical data. This requires a psychological evaluation on pedestrians and an analysis on correlations between pedestrian space elements and pedestrians’ preferences. In this study, the relationship between landscape elements in pedestrian space and the preferences of pedestrians was analyzed. The quantitative information of landscape elements was obtained from landscape sequences because pedestrians experience the landscape as a sequence, not individual scenes. The analysis was used to develop a comprehensive index of how pedestrians look at pedestrian spaces. A psychological evaluation was performed to obtain pedestrian preferences for different spaces and the influencing factors. This study clarified the landscape elements preferred by pedestrians, and the results can be used to develop basic guidelines for the planning and design of pedestrian spaces.
