Abstract

<p>Walking space has several functions to do with walking needs, such as convenience and safety for passing by and getting on/off vehicles and comfort and attractiveness for staying and making on-street activities. However, it is hard to say that street improvements sufficiently take account of the influences on the multiple functions. Therefore, this research analyzes the influence on walkability evaluation of the street-edge design of in-between spaces on building sides and on road sides, by evaluating internationally diverse street environments through experiencing the walk in virtual reality (VR) environments. First, street design elements are compared among international case study streets. Then, using the VR tool, the experiment is conducted to evaluate the street design of the case studies and the perception of walking needs. As a result, the street edge design significantly influences multiple walking needs, which is different by the design elements of building-side design and road-side design.</p>
