Abstract

Over the last 20 years, several studies have been conducted to identify and quantify elements that influence the walkability of metropolitan streets. The ability to walk around a city is a critical component in determining whether it is green or sustainable. By analyzing constructed environmental characteristics that impact walkability, this research develops a complete walkability index. The findings of an online poll and a walkability evaluation model constructed using multi-criteria decision analysis techniques were used in this study on mixed land use streets in Cairo, Egypt.
The findings were based on a three-pillar method that included a theoretical basis to design the walkability indicator, numerical assessment utilizing a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique across the Egyptian context, and a qualitative user opinion survey. The findings show that determining how walkable Cairo’s streets are is critical to improving pedestrian perceptions of the environment through landscape architectural elements. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated the critical aspects that influence the indicators of the built environment.
The study was the product of a two-year investigation that saw many twists and turns, as well as several alterations to the intended research methods, conclusions, sequencing, and even research methodologies. A vast issue like the link between two huge fields, urban design and public health cannot be explored in such a little amount of time. The research, on the other hand, aims to shed light on a topic that may be of interest to multiple disciplines, and it will primarily be discussed in breadth to cover several aspects and relationships of both disciplines, and what is discussed in breath cannot possibly be studied in depth simultaneously within a time and data constrained research.
