Main entrance of Natsagdorj Library. Walking is basic mode of transportation, recommendable for the city center, especially for the city center with continuous increase of car traffic and high traffic congestion, like central Ulaanbaatar. Most of sidewalks in central Ulaanbaatar have not been designed based on pleasance to pedestrians but mostly on considerations of completing a construction of footpath anywise due to the mainly economic constraints. Even in constraint of given budget, pleasant sidewalks would be designed based on the consideration of its user’s preferences.
Addressing this situation, the research aims to identify physical and operational aspects of sidewalk environment affecting people’s preference of pleasant sidewalks. People’s perception was assessed from the questionnaire survey with area based sample size of total 200 samples. Physical and operational features of sidewalk environment were measured during the field measurement at 12 sidewalk segments from 3 city blocks, as well as at the laboratory.
After summarizing collected data, applicable statistical method, ordered probit models were developed to analyze respondent’s rating for sidewalk environment factors depending on the combination of sidewalk attributes and characteristics of each individuals. Based on model results, physical and operational features of sidewalk environment affecting people’s preference were signified quantitatively.
