Abstract
User focused pedestrian facility planning requires an understanding of pedestrian behavior and needs. Analysis presented here has considered user attributes primarily from the point of view of stage of life of the person. User needs have been measured through responses to ten opinion statements. The primary field survey was conducted in Japan, in five cities of different sizes. A secondary survey was performed in Sydney, Australia for comparison purposes. Analysis has shown the viability of using different indicators to designate the stage of life. It is also shown that a bipartition classification is suited to explain how pedestrian needs related to shortness of paths and pleasantness of walking space as individuals go through phases of their life.
