Abstract

Aiming at those generally existing problems in urban commercial pedestrian districts, through the design methods of extracting separation of man from vehicle in traditional Qilou pedestrian street space, continuous pedestrian space with shelter, and the behavior paths with combination of commercial activities, this thesis sets about from the behaviors of pedestrians in walking state, and finds that the traditional Qilou pedestrian street space can satisfy pedestrians’ physiological and psychological demands in shopping better. At the same time, combining current urban commercial districts developing demands, and the successful experience from traditional Qilou, this thesis also proposes relevant improvement measures. The improvements in design means are expected to improve pedestrian environment for, and achieve the commercial values of these districts, as well as the win-win of environment improvement and commercial activity development.

Highlights

  • Urban commercial districts often located in some important core district of city where many people will gather together

  • The pedestrian system design of urban commercial districts includes two classifications: The first is the pedestrian system space with primary of complete pedestrian streets. This kind of pedestrian system can separate traffic flows out of pedestrian system, which can relieve the pressures to pedestrian streets by motor vehicles, and enhance the security of pedestrian streets

  • In allusion to above two circumstances, we will proceed with analyzing commercial activities of pedestrians, and it is crucial to excavate successful experience of traditional commercial pedestrian streets

Summary

Introduction

Urban commercial districts often located in some important core district of city where many people will gather together. The pedestrian system design of urban commercial districts includes two classifications: The first is the pedestrian system space with primary of complete pedestrian streets This kind of pedestrian system can separate traffic flows out of pedestrian system, which can relieve the pressures to pedestrian streets by motor vehicles, and enhance the security of pedestrian streets. The second is the common pedestrian streets in general commercial districts, which has no significant differences with those ordinary urban streets, and it is only the sidewalk outward of commercial buildings in the space lay. This kind of pedestrian street is short of professional design, and except can satisfy essential traffic function, has few attractive effects to pedestrians by pedestrian space. In allusion to above two circumstances, we will proceed with analyzing commercial activities of pedestrians, and it is crucial to excavate successful experience of traditional commercial pedestrian streets
