Influence of children pedestrian behaviour on pedestrian space usage

Abstract

School children pedestrian behaviour can be seen along their journey to and from school.Pedestrian spaces used by children are places available in urban and rural areas including streets with and without pedestrian pathways.Samples data are collected from 23 elementary schools in urban and rural areas in North Sulawesi, Indonesia in the form of video records and photos taken.The aim of this research is to analyse children pedestrian behaviour and its influence on the space usage on pedestrian areas.Method of analysis is a comparative study on urban and rural areas.Results of this research are types of behaviour, factors that influence the behaviour, physical condition of pedestrian areas and space usage by children.The behaviours are duck-line walking, running, playing, walking backward and walking with bare foot in which running is the main behaviour.These behaviours are influenced by factors including following friends and responding to acts.There are similarities and differences between pedestrian space usage in urban and rural areas.Space use by children pedestrian demonstrates the way pedestrian areas should be planned.Space usage by children pedestrian indicates that there is a need of evaluation of the space available considering pedestrian children behaviour.
