Abstract:
Pedestrian safety, particularly for children, relies on well-designed pathways. Child-friendly pathways play a crucial role in safeguarding young pedestrians. Shared spaces accommodating both vehicles and walkers can bring benefits to pedestrians. However, active children playing near these pathways are prone to accidents. This research aims to develop an efficient method for planning child-friendly pedestrian pathways, taking into account community development and the specific needs of children. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing the Datang community in Guangzhou, China, as a case study. This approach combined drawing techniques with GIS data analysis. Drawing methods were utilized to identify points of interest for children aged 2-6. The qualitative and quantitative fuzzy analytic hierarchy process assessed factors influencing pathway planning, assigning appropriate weights. The weighted superposition analysis method constructed a comprehensive cost grid, considering various community elements. To streamline the planning process, a GIS tool was developed based on the identified factors, resulting in a practical, child-friendly pedestrian pathway network. Results indicate that this method efficiently creates child-friendly pathways, ensuring optimal connectivity within the planned road network.
摘要:
行人安全,特别是对于儿童,依赖于精心设计的途径。对儿童友好的道路在保护年轻行人方面发挥着至关重要的作用。容纳车辆和行人的共享空间可以为行人带来好处。然而,在这些小路附近玩耍的活跃儿童容易发生事故。这项研究旨在开发一种有效的方法来规划儿童友好的行人通道,考虑到社区发展和儿童的具体需求。采用了混合方法,利用广州的大唐社区,中国,作为一个案例研究。这种方法将绘图技术与GIS数据分析相结合。使用绘图方法来识别2-6岁儿童的兴趣点。定性和定量的模糊层次分析法评估影响路径规划的因素,分配适当的权重。加权叠加分析法构建了综合成本网格,考虑到各种社区元素。为了简化规划流程,根据确定的因素开发了一个GIS工具,导致一个实用的,儿童友好的行人通道网络。结果表明,这种方法有效地创造了儿童友好的途径,确保计划道路网络内的最佳连通性。
