Table 1. Five evaluation criteria for the pedestrian environments

Division Sub-division Detailed division
Safety At variance with cars on the pedestrians - Vehicle boundary facilities (bollard, fence etc.) - Number of vehicle entrance & exit crossing walkway - Height of walkway (step height between walkway and roadway) - Pedestrian mall extension
Psychological threats - Speed reduction facilities (curb fof safety etc.) - Number of streetlight (level of light) - Road condition (road width, traffic density, vehicle speed, etc.)
Continuity Pedestrian connectivity - Number of crosswalk (number of crosswalk/km) - Pedestrian connectivity between front street and side street - Passage only for pedestrian (arcade, underground passage) - Connection availability of building entrance/exit
Appropriacy of pedestrian signal - Period of crosswalk signal
Conformability Sufficiency of pedestrian space - Consistent sidewalk width from front street - Pedestrian density and speed - Width (scope) of available sidewalk
Physical pedestrian environment - Positive environmental factors (street tree, bench etc.) - Negative environmental factors (billboard, air vents etc.)
Openness of street space - For opening of the first floor of streetside buildings
Surrounding environment - Noise, exhaust
Convenience/visibility Diversity of use of lower level of buildings - Convenient facilities (public convenient facilities such as public toilet etc.) - Number of sales facilities nearby walkway
Visibility of walk-convenient facilities - Visibility of information system for pedestrians/public transport user - Visibility of information system major facilities
Terrain difficulty - Gradient (average slope)
Vitality Diversity of building design and landscape - Building design - Divesity of landscape - Regional identity (image) and sense of place
Sufficiency of public space - Cultural space for cultural performance and outdoor stage - Resting place such as parks etc.
