Abstract
The paper investigates the significant factors affecting pedestrians’ satisfaction on walking accessibility to the metro station using Structural equation modelling considering socioeconomic characteristics of pedestrians, microscale, and mesoscale built environment factors measured within the 800-meter buffer area of metro stations. Questionnaire survey conducted within the catchment areas of fifteen metro stations in Delhi, India, consisted of questions regarding socioeconomic characteristics, trip characteristics, and peoples' satisfaction on microscale built environment factors. The mesoscale built environment factors were the spatial indicators measured within the catchment area of each metro station. Models developed in the study determined that microscale factors, rather than macroscale factors, significantly affect pedestrian satisafction in regards to the accessibility of metro stations. Study findings help in better comprehension of factors affecting walking accessibility and suggesting policy interventions for planners in improving walking accessibility to the metro.
