Is walkable street usable? Walkability and usability of street after reconstruction

Abstract

This paper considers the relationship between Walkability and Usability in order to understand the perceptions of residents’ accessibility to community facilities provided after the street reconstruction. To address this goal the assessment framework that includes two corresponding measurement tools has been proposed. The experimental results show that the certain level of walkability has been achieved by the street reconstruction. However, the relationship of usability score with some of the walkability dimensions shows that land mix accessibility is not at the satisfactory level indicating the necessity for the City-logistics intervention within the examined City area, in terms of the street facilities service efficiency transformation to enhance overall sustainability.
