| summary |
Elevated pedestrian systems can increase urban density and reduce congestion in urban spaces, which contributes to the sustainability of cities. In high-density cities such as Hong Kong, the complex system of underground passages and skywalks at multiple levels is crucial in facilitating efficient pedestrian circulation. While the relationship between street environments and pedestrian experience has been widely discussed, research on how the perceptual qualities of skywalk environments affect pedestrians’ walking preferences has not yet been addressed. This study demonstrates how the perceptual environmental features of skyway systems can be characterised in a quantitative and human-centric manner. Taking Central, Hong Kong, as a case study, it has investigated the walking environment of the skyway system and the environmental differences between skyways and sidewalks and has explored the relationships between subjective /objective street qualities and pedestrian’s perception. An improved understanding of the environment-behaviour relationships of these spaces can provide suggestions for designing more walkable and comfortable skyway systems that are better integrated in the fabric of the city. |
