En 中文
Urban street networks are a vital part of urban areas and have a remarkable influence over quality of life and the use of sustainable modes. They make up about 80% of public space and shape urban activities and identity. Therefore, it is crucial to design, develop, and maintain streets in such a way as to make the most of this large and important space in a sustainable manner. Streets have three main functions: to provide access to adjoining properties, to allow transit of users on their way from their origin to their destination, and to provide space for social activities. As such, there is a need to develop indicators, methods, and tools to evaluate how streets fulfill their functions. However, most of the previously developed frameworks rely on measuring the physical environment and transportation facilities, which reflect the potential use of streets, as opposed to their actual use. To address this gap, the main objective of this paper is to propose a holistic and objective framework to evaluate streets based on their actual use by all users. The proposed framework is developed based on direct user observation to assess the various street functions (i.e., transit, access, and place) using objective indicators at a microscopic (individual) level. The developed framework and tools build on street use evaluation by diverse disciplines such as transportation engineering, urban planning, and public health. It will help transportation agencies and urban planners to manage streets and public spaces so that they fulfill their expected functions while minimizing the negative impacts.
