Safety
Do you feel safe in the area to walk
Infrastructure, Traffic Interaction:
You walk 1km through the study area in the quickest and safest route possible
Social:
Imagine yourself walking after 11pm on a Friday night. A large man approaches you. I feel:
1) Fearful. My life might be in danger
2) Cautious. Fearful for my belongings
3) Cautious but willing to listen
5) Happy and willing to chat or help.
4) Neutral
1) Almost no segregation. Constantly fearful of a vehicle colliding with me
2) Footpaths are missing for at least half of my journey. Cautious of vehicles approaching
3) Footpaths are provided for more than half of my journey. Cautious of vehicle approaching
4) Footpaths are provided for all of my journey. I need to cross many junctions still.
5) I have a fully segregated path from traffic and have no fear of vehicles.
Political:
Thinking of government expenditure on pedestrian infrastructure, how well is the money utilised?
Example signalised crossings, footpaths, kerb-ramps, shade, lifts and street lighting,
1) Close to nothing is spent on pedestrian infrastructure
2)
3)
4)
5) Pedestrian infrastructure is at its best
Placemaking
What makes it a
Vibrant urban experience
People are willing to walk more if they are compensated by a safe and entertaining experience.
Social (Passive Surveillance):
When walking after 11pm, how confident are you that someone in a shop / restaurant / cafe would be able to notice or help you.
5) There is always passive activity, with people interaction along the streets. Shops and businesses are well lit even at this time. I feel safe.
1) The sides of the streets are completely empty and dark. There is no human activity in businesses next to streets.
Environmental (speed)
The traffic along the streets I walk is
1) Too fast with too many cars. I would never attempt to cross at an unsignalised junction.
5) Slow and I am comfortable crossing unsignalised streets
Social
When walking along the streets in the day, describe the human interaction next to the street
1) No activities, an uninspiring walk with. It is mostly consists of boring buildings and traffic
5) Bustling with people, street performers, interesting activities, people enjoying a picnic or having a game of chess.
Social
How we feel about people along the streets. How do they influence my walking journey
Technical / Infrastructure
How the pedestrian infrastructure / or lack there off, affects walking
Environmental
How does built and natural environment change the perspective of walking
Weather, street art, shops, cafes
Political
What are government organisations doing to enhance walkability
Opportunities
Constraints
Environmental
Are the street surroundings, interesting
5) Always something interesting to see like a boutique shop, street cart, street art or a food truck. Every now and then there's a nice bench to rest on, a restaurant or a cafe.
1) Streets are generally boring. Shops are closed, old or fenced off. Street activity mostly consists of construction or roads for traffic
Political
Within the study area, think about activities organised by different government bodies.
1) No street activities have been organised. Streets are unpleasent, too hot, uncomfortable and dis-interesting. Street activation is perhaps the lowest priority with no interesting shops.
5) Authorities allow street activities such as funfairs, performances, roadshows or pop up information booths. These events happen frequently. Street art, trees, street furniture and cafes make walking such a pleasant experience.
Infrastructure
When walking on a hot day in a busy area
5) Streets are mostly well shaded with trees, buildings or walkways. Footpaths are wide enough to not feel uncomfortable
1) There is little to no shade. It is too hot to walk for too long. Footpaths are often too narrow and uncomfortable.
What would make the streets more vibrant and entertaining? Please rank the most important factors
Social:
A more social walking experience with a bustle of human activity.
Political:
More willingness form the government to activate street frontages. This can be through encouraging cafes or shops along streets to make the walk more pleasent.
Infrastructure:
Better, wider and safer footpaths
Infrastructure:
More shaded areas, more trees, buildings that can block the sun, or sheltered walkways
Environmental:
More street art, interesting shops, food trucks, benches to rest on or cafes and restaurants to make the walk interesting.
Comfort and connectivity
Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, where denser urban areas
are significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas
Street orientation and geometry, the use of different materials and the presence of landscape features are all factors that
heavily contribute to determine comfort.
Walking environments designed to accommodate robust vegetation and shaded canopies can reduce surface temperatures in the range of 9°F to 35°F and abate urban microclimate issues such as UHI. If greener sidewalks, roadways and public spaces were implemented on a
citywide scale, the possibilities for reduced
temperatures would grow exponentially.11
Environmental (weather):
It is raining extremely heavily. You walk 400 metres
(5 minutes) to the nearest bus stop. What proportion of my journey is sheltered by a structure? eg. roof or building
1) 0% to 20%
2) 20% to 40%
3) 40% to 60%
4) 60% to 80%
5) 80% to 100 %
