Abstract
Pedestrian Cognition of Street Structure and Route Choices When Strolling: Comparative Study Based on Two Experimental Methods
Highlights
People are paying increasing attention to reducing environmental pollution (Blanco et al 2009), maintaining their health (Sallis et al 2004; Hoehner et al 2005), and increasing social communication (Leyden 2003; Wood et al 2010); there is increasing interest in walking behaviors that can actively address these issues
To capture the relationship between route choices and street structure, to avoid the interference of other built environments in real space, and to remove the technical limitations of simulated spaces, we focus on maps that are familiar to people
The goal of this study is, after identifying the street structure based on a map, to understand the relationship between the street structure and the route choice as well as people’s street structure concerns and preferences and to conduct a brief preliminary verification in actual space
Summary
The accuracy of the data is problematic because the method requires people to recall recently visited places and record their route, which is strongly influenced by an individual’s memory and problem-understanding ability (Prelipcean et al 2018). Another method is to obtain data while moving along streets, mainly by (a) pedestrians moving and collecting data directly in the street space or (b) using auxiliary tools to collect the data
