| Abstract | A combination of individual characteristics, infrastructure, and societal attributes defines the pedestrian walking experience. Walking is a complex phenomenon that should be and could be approached from various fields of scientific research. One of the approaches is within its visual impacts of the walking infrastructure. Increasing number of studies about walking phenomenon shows the importance of walking is being widely recognized as societies strive to implement the low carbon principle. Sidewalks now cover more than 150,000 km in modern Japanese cities. Average Japanese takes 7,168 steps per day. These numbers show how important a walking infrastructure in Japanese urban development. Walking infrastructure in Japan has been well developed yet varied in its physical appearance especially its pavement pattern. Authors have documented more than 70 different types of pavement pattern in pedestrian areas from several cities in Japan. This research aimed to study the impact of pavement patterns as one of visual stimulations for the pedestrian by observing their walking movement and speed using video sampling and analysis by open source software, and also their awareness to different types of pavement pattern using direct yet non-paper based questionnaire. Totally 93 pedestrians were observed and 71 questionnaire responses were collected. The research then found that there were early indications of visual impact of pavement pattern in the case study which was in the area of Kitakyushu Science and Research Park (KSRP) at Hibikino, Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu City, Japan. |
