Description
Summary:Achieving pedestrian needs has become the primary concern in providing the best campus planning to meet their users' satisfaction. Unfortunately, the lack of study concerning the pedestrian needs in the campus has led to the current pedestrian path not being fully utilised, and users tend to create a desire path to satisfy their preferences. To improve this problem cannot be solved simply by providing other pedestrian paths that will increase reconstruction costs. Thus, the assessment of pedestrian attributes is needed to have better campus planning that can meet the desired path of the users. This research aims to identify the desired path attributes to support campus walkability environment by assessing the desire path influence factor. The studies were conducted at the Polytechnic campus as Malaysia's most prominent TVET institution. This research adopted a quantitative approach where a questionnaire survey is used to determine factors that influence students to choose a pedestrian path on campus. Four hundred forty-four pedestrian users among polytechnic students are selected to answer the questionnaire survey regarding the desire path across campus. The strength of desire path attributes is determined based on the data obtained from survey questionnaires distributed randomly to the pedestrian user within these three campuses.
