Abstract

The measure of walking environment is an important indicator to measure humanized city and social ecology, at present, the evaluation of road walkability is still dominated by various strongly subjective built environment indicators, and there is still no quantitative and standardized measure research on the road walkability. Based on the analysis methods of spatial syntax, this paper combines the measured data of vehicle traffic flow, comprehensively evaluates the walkability of urban roads from positive and reverse dimensions, and then proposes optimization suggestions. The research empirically studies Zhaozheng Road which is located in the core protection area of national historical and cultural city, Changting County, Fujian Province; it is an important walking and car path connecting various historic and cultural blocks, the positive and reverse measure of its walkability can also provide new research ideas for the evaluation research of walkability in historic urban areas.
