Road, Phagwara Punjab (India)-144411 ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract –This study aims to suggesttheWalkability values and a qualitative analysis undertaking case study of Lovely Professional University(LPU)-India’s largest single campus private university. The paper includes an extensive study of important criteria such as the pedestrian facilities, safety, accessibility and aesthetic appearance. The survey applies the principle of GlobalWalkabilityindex developedbyH.Krambeck together for the World Bank along with theCleanAirforAsian cities (CAI-Asia). The methodology is qualitative as it provides insight to the several key parameters and enables the identification of areas for improvement. Walkabilityindicates the quality and safety of the walkways and sidewalks. LPUhas student strength of approximately 25000. All of them have to either use private vehiclesinlargenumbercausingcongestion, bicycles or have to walk to their destinations inside the campus area. Therefore, it is necessary to find the safety, comfort and convenience of pedestrians for which the evaluation of GWI of LPU is needed. Key Words: Walkability index, pedestrian, walkway, crosswalk, built environment, congestion, urban planning 1. INTRODUCTION What is Walkability? Well it’s not just about the physical walking but also how walk able i.e. safe, convenient, comfortable, accessible and healthythebuilt environmentis. A gas-belching, time-wasting, life threatening prosthetic device- how can we free ourselves from the dependence on the car and make our vicinity more walk able and more pleasant for people. A walk can be useful in many ways. It can initiate economical brilliance, better health and environmentally sustainable. Recently the urban planners have been working on the 3D’s of the built environment – density, design and diversity. The density of an area plays a vital role and is acknowledged by planners whereas the other two factors have just been ignored. It deals with the idea of how compact the built environment can be, mixed use of land, walking friendly design to degenerate vehicle trips and encourage people to walk, bike or take public transit as substitutes for automobile travelling particularly. Basically walk ability is of quite significance in an era where the congestion has become one of the main outbursts of the century. Population explosion is one of the major factors responsible for such a chaotic situation leading to congestion. This problem has lead to an intense pressure on the transport network along with the exhaustion of the energy resources. So it’s important not only for the urban planners and the transport engineers but also for the people that owning vehicles and discarding the cheapest and healthiest mode of transport i.e. walking isn’t the best solution to the problem. Promoting public transport such as buses, metro etc will help not only conserve the non- renewable source of energy but give efficient time to come with best possible solutions as its replacement. The Urban design philosophies include- new urbanism, transit oriented development and traditional town planning which have gained popularity in recent years as a way to boost the travel demand. These three have common transportation objectives which are: (1) reduced number of motorized trips, also called trip generation, (2) trips which are produced, hike the non-motorized part (i.e. by foot or bicycle); and (3) the motorized trips that produce reduced level of travel distances and increases the vehicleoccupancy level (i.e. by encouraging shorter trips by transit, Para transit, and ride sharing). An expected outcome of degenerating trips will have a lessened negative consequences of an automobile oriented society such as – reduced pollution, fossil fuel consumption and; class and social segregation (Banister and Lichfield, 1995; Ditmar, 1995). In municipal planning and budgets often services related to pedestrian, infrastructure and amenities are neglected. Hoe desirable a vicinity can be based on safety, security and convenience of their pedestrian environments are all associated to walk ability and its significance in urban planning and design. 1.1 WALKABILITY INDEX Basically, Walkability reflects the built environment health, economics and over all livability of the area. Its not just about physical walking but also the factors like: safe, convenient, secure, attractive and connected the area is. Places undesirable of walking include: separated land use, dead end streets and poorly designed arrangement of developments. According to Brad Shaw Walkability can be defined as: A foot-friendly, easy to use and built environment friendly with leveled sidewalks, safe intersections, narrow streets,

A local culture inhibiting more carefree and a built in environment must be involved. Clean air initiative (2011) is an organization involved in finding the Walkability in Asian cities. For a pedestrian survey, they have recommended the following attributes to be considered: i) Sidewalks/footpaths cleaner and wider ii) Low traffic volume on road iii) Obstacle free footpaths iv) Increased crossing points v) Effective street lighting vi) Easy access for disabled persons They also calculated the walk ability index in 30 major cities in India. The average Walkability of India was reported as 0.52. The best Walkability in the country according to this ranking was in Chandigarh (=0.92). Table 1.1: Walkability of 30 cities in India (Source: “Walkability in Indian cities”, Clean Air Initiative for Asian cities (CAI-Asia) centre, 2011) Sl.No Cities Walkability index score 1 Shimla 0.22 2 Bhubaneswar 0.28 3 Gangtok 0.3 4 Panaji 0.32 5 Pondicherry 0.37 6 Hubli Dharwad 0.39 7 Guwahati 0.39 8 Amritsar 0.31 9 Thiruvananthapuram 0.34 10 Agra 0.38 11 Varanasi 0.33 12 Bikaner 0.43 13 Raipur 0.41 14 Madurai 0.40 15 Bhopal 0.47 16 Kochi 0.57 17 Kanpur 0.59 18 Patna 0.65 19 Bangalore 0.63 20 Nagpur 0.66 21 Jaipur 0.64 22 Hyderabad 0.68 23 Surat 0.62 24 Chennai 0.77 25 Kolkata 0.81 26 Pune 0.81 27 Mumbai 0.85 28 Ahmadabad 0.85 29 Delhi 0.87 30 Chandigarh 0.91 31 National 0.52 The walk score is a number between 00 -100. Below are the general guidelines to evaluate the walk score: 90-100= walker’s paradise: owning a car isn’t necessaryand most of the errands can be done by walking. 70-90= very walk able; owning a car isn’t important. 50-70= some walk able locations; some amenities might be at a walk able distance but everyday errands must require proper transportation facilities. 25 - 50 = Not Walkable; only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving or public transportation is a must. 0 - 25 = Driving only; virtually no neighborhooddestinations within walking range. You can walk from your house toyour car. Using this scoring system, Chandigarh (walk score = 91) in India was considered as walker’s paradise. Although walkscore.com measures how easy it is to live a car-free life style and considers how dense the land use is (which can reduce trip lengths), it does not include a qualitative assessment of pedestrian facilities like walkway width, walkway height, street lights, traffic and crime safety, etc. The main objective of calculating the Walkability index may be summarized as follows: 1) Generating awareness of Walkability as an important issue in developing cities. 2) Providing city officials with an incentive to address Walkability issues. 3) Helping city planners understand scope and extent of local pedestrian conditions, relative to other cities 4) Providing city planners with the information necessary to identify specific pedestrian-related shortcomings, as well with recommendations for next steps. Walkability of an area has been estimated by various researchers and organizations. Three of such methods are presented here. 1.1.1 GLOBAL WALKABILITY INDEX (GWI) (Krambeck & Shah, 2006) This method is used by the World Bank which provides a qualitative analysis of the walking conditions including safety and security, convenience and degree of policy support for the pedestrian environment. Related aspects covered under the above three componentsarelistedbelow:

These surveys maybeconductedinanyorder.It is important that these surveys are conducted within local populations to prevent undue bias in results. The public agency survey is used to collect important data that is not obtainable through physical infrastructure surveys, such as pedestrian fatality statisticsandpedestrian-relatedlawsand regulations. The field survey is used to collect pedestrian perceptions on facilities and to suggest improvements if there. Thus Walkability index is the summation ofthescores obtained from pedestrian facility ratingsanda publicagency ratings. Survey areas are selected in the study area such that the entire major and important roads arecovered. Onesheet per survey area is used. Within each survey area only main public roads are surveyed. For consistency, all surveys should be conducted during local peak travel times. The total number of people walking in the street (alongside other traffic modes) and on walking path arecountedon one side of the street over a period of 5 minutes using a traffic counting method. The surveyed length of the street is measured in kilometers and it varies between 0.2 - 0.4 km. A public agency survey involves the administrators in the selected area. The survey questionnaire is shown in Appendix-A. The GWI implementation guidebook has allotted marks for each of those above questions. Based on the responses, for each area, the public agency rating is obtained. A field survey is carried out which involves the pedestrians of the each segregated area. The Performa is given in Appendix-B Field surveyors will ask the pedestrians to rate the selected road stretches on a scale 1 to 5 for each variable (1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest) in each of the selectedareas.The average for each of the variables is translated into a rating system from 0 (lowest score) to 100 (highest score). Walkability ratings in the differentarea typesineachcityare derived by taking the average of the individual variable averages. Thus the summation of the public agency rating and field survey rating gives the Global Walkability Index (GWI). This method identifies pedestrian preferences and analyzes government policies. 1.1.2 MINISTRYOFURBANDEVELOPMENT(MOUD) METHOD This method was developed by Ministry of Urban Road Development (MOUD), Government ofIndia.They especially developed this method based on the Indian conditions. According to this method walk ability index is a function of availability of footpath and pedestrian facility rating. This can be calculated using equation 1.1. Walkability Index = [(W1 x Availability of footpath) + (w2 x Pedestrian Facility rating)] - (1.1) Where, w1 and w2 are weights (assumed 50% for both) Availability of footpath = Footpath length / Length of major roads in the city - (1.2) Pedestrian Facility Rating = Score estimated based on opinion on available Pedestrian facility - (1.3) Using this walk ability index, MOUD assessed the quality of pedestrian infrastructure across 30 cities in India and found an average index of 0.52 (out of 1 point scale). Chandigarh scored a maximum of 0.91. Small and medium towns have scored less which is ironical as these towns have high pedestrian flow. All larger cities have scored better than smaller cities. This may be due to higher investments being made in providing road infrastructureinthesecities.The hill towns have scored lower values, indicating poor condition and availability of pedestrian facilities. Clearly,smallercities and hill towns have higher pedestrian volumes but poorer pedestrian facilities. The limitation of this methodology is that it is difficult to assess that which parameter needs improvement such as safety, disability infrastructure, comfort, convenience,

The length of the major roads in the city is calculated using the city plan or a tape or Google maps. For finding the pedestrian facilityrating,a pedestriansurvey is to be carried out. The pedestrian survey enables residents most impacted by the walk ability of a city, to voice their opinion on current conditions of the pedestrian facility and to suggest improvements if there. It is important that these surveys are conducted within local populations to prevent undue bias in results. Topics covered in this survey include: 1) Footpath width 2) Footpath continuity 3) Availability of crossings 4) Maintenance and cleanliness 5) Security from crime 6) Disability infrastructure 7) Amenities 8) Obstructions 9) Footpath surface Using the above mentioned pedestrian facility factors, a survey form is prepared in which the pedestrian has to evaluate the listed attributes on a 5 point usability scale where ‘1’ defines ‘not at all usable’ and ‘5’ define ‘highly usable’. Survey is to be done for a minimum of 50 people (pedestrians). The average of the pedestrian facility factors is calculated. By using the equation 1.1, the walk ability of index of an area is calculated. 1.1.3 WALKSCORE.COM METHOD Walkscore.com calculates an area’s walk abilitybasedonthe distance from resident’s house to nearby amenities. Walk Score helps people find walk able places to live. Walk Score calculates the walk ability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. It is based on: 1) The distance to walk able locations near an address. 2) Calculating a score for each of these locations. 3) Combining these scores into one easy to read Walk Score. The Walk Score may change as the data sources are updated or as the algorithm used is improved. Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. Below are general guidelines for interpreting the walk score. 1.2 WALKABILITY ECONOMICS Walking means to solve many social ills such as global warming, traffic congestion,oil dependencyandotherhealth issues. The importance of urban planning for sustainable development is important. Quality of air we breathe and water we drink all comes under the issue of planning and development. Consequences on: climate-change, bio- diversity, transportation development pattern. Challenges to build green communities and their objectives are: 1. Better scientific community 2. Relief from high petrol prices 3. Reduction in green house gas emissions 4. Rely on energy efficient buildings 5. Reduce distances from origin to destination 6. Reduce the need for costly roads and infrastructure 2. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND SETUP 2.1 AREA SURVEY For the case study purpose the method ofglobal Walkability index (GWI) has been considered. LPU is a privateuniversity and has its roots in Jalandhar, India setup in 2005. It presides over an area of 600 acres of green land on NH-1. It comprises of 25000 students from 28 states and 26 countries. It is a residential university with separate hostel facility for boys and girls housing morethan15000students.

The attributes such as: adequate funding and resources devoted for pedestrian-related urban design guidelines,and available data on pedestrian fatalities, pedestrian safety programs and law or regulation enforcement. The field survey: (1) Material map, camera, extra data collection form, measuring tape, (2) survey area selection zone , (3) time of the day- local peak travel, (4) filling in data collection form and performing calculations, (5) quality assurance-photography of cross sections to be surveyed. A field Walkability survey was conductedwhichinvolvesthe following attributes: (1) Carriageway modal conflict (2) Walking path availability (3) Crossings availability (4) Safety of grade crossing (5) Behavior motorists (6) Amenities availability (7) Disabled infrastructure (8) Obstructions and barriers (9) Safety to crime The pedestrians will be asked to rate the factors ofdesign on a scale of 10 point of each attribute 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest in each of the selected areas. The average of each of the parameters will then be converted into a rating system from 0(lowest) and 100(highest). Thus, the summation of these surveys will give the GWI. Field Walkability survey will be carried out ineachzone. Now,the length of sidewalk will be multiplied with lengthofsurveyed road and pedestrian count (*10) for simplicity. The field survey rating shall be calculated with the help of GWI implementation guide book. 3. ANALYSIS, RESULT AND DISCUSSION LPUcampus is divided into 5 zonesfortheGWImethod.LPU campus is managed by Chief Architect (CA) and his team. A public agency survey wascarriedoutineachzone.Responses were taken from CA in the prescribed Performa. Based on their answers for each question, the public agency rating for each zone was calculated with the help of weightage given in table 3. Table -3.1: Points assignment for public agency survey QUESTION POINTS ASSIGNMENT 1 1-5 scale; Non-Existent=1 2 One point for each box checked 3 Divide percentage by 10 4 Yes=5, No=1 5 3 for each ‘usually’ to 1 for each ‘rarely’, divided by 2.

The overall average public agency rating of LPU campus is found to be 4.3 on a 30 point scale. Filed Walkability survey was carried out in each of these zones. To normalize the LOS inputs, eachLOSwasmultiplied by the length of surveyed road and the pedestrian count (x10). The resulting number was divided by 10 for simplicity. For each zone a separate road stretch was considered such that the entire area isproperlyrepresented. The length of the road stretch was measured in kilometers. The number of pedestrians walking in that stretchalongone side of the road was recorded for an internal of 5 minutes. So using the pedestrian ratings, length of the road stretch and pedestrian count, the field survey rating was calculated with the help of GWI implementation guidebook.Theresults of field Walkability survey are given in table below Table 3.3: Field Walkability survey of LPU Campus SURVEYED ROAD STRETCH

GWI= Average of public agency survey+ Average of field Walkability survey =4.3+51.34 =55.64 Therefore, GWI of LPU campuscomesouttobe55.64(ona 100point scale). Therefore, 50-70 holds for some walkable locations, some stores and amenities are within walking distance but many every day trips still requires a bike,car or public transport. Walkability of the LPU campus was evaluated basedonGWI method. The method was developed by World Bank. Apart from pedestrian perception regarding use of a facility,italso gives emphasis to pedestrian count in a stretch, pedestrian facility design & values and regulations under enforcement. It is affected more by the length of the stretch and the number of pedestrians walking on a facility on one side, the score increases proportionally with the increase in these attributes. 3. CONCLUSIONS According to the calculated results the expected outcomes can be drawn: (1) The attributes considered to evaluateWalkabilityof an area should also include design attribute height of a walkway with respect to directionofmovement on the carriageway. (2) On the whole, the pedestrians have rated the facilities in LPU as satisfactory level (55.64 on a scale of 100). (3) Major areas of concern are no provision of traffic separators, absence of pedestrian friendly crossing facility and ramps connecting to the carriageway (disability design feature) and missingcontinuityof walkways. These need to be given proper consideration. (4) Main users like students have found the pedestrian facilities lacking on many accounts and on the overall rate them near satisfactory level. The desired need to be given due considerations (based on peak hour traffic). (5) Female pedestrians have same level of satisfaction as that of male pedestrians, except for obstruction free width of the walkway. (6) GWI method does not consider the design factors like footpath height and availability of walkway on appropriate side of carriageway. This method also gives equal weight age to both the parameters; availability of footpath and pedestrian perception ratings. This method will be more subjective and qualitative ifitconsiderspedestrians characteristics like gender, age, occupation and household income. (7) It is found that based on public agency survey there are rules being enforced in the campus related to safe and convenient movement of pedestrians but somehow prove to be deficient. These aspects need immediate attention. (8) The average GWI of campus impliesthatproperand sustainable steps should be taken to improve the design structure hence significantly improving the road-user facilities likewalkover bridges,increasing the width of sidewalks (wherever applicable and possible), provide maximum parking spaces and reducing the black spots. Last but not the least, in previous years studies have shown that its quite relevant to include social interactions or the neighbourhood effects also known as the social network effects in the transportation modeling. These models included in studies of Brock and Durlauf (2001,2002).Some of the latest articles in transportationmodelingtendtomove explicit towards each other creating a spatially autoregressive structure of social network effects (Dugundi and Walker 2005). It’s not at all surprising that spatial econometrics is an emerging modeling method acrosssocial science disciplines. According to the urban planning theory, pedestrianism is a more realistic theory founded by Michael E. Arth in 1990, an American designer, futurist, and an author, The problems associated with urbanismarecovered by pedestrianism and gives an attempt to solve various ill effects such as health, energy, aesthetics and environmental problems with special focus on reducing the role of automobiles. A pedestrian village is defined as a neighbourhood or townutilizingpedestrianism.Theserange

Walkability can also be defined as a way of extent to which built in environment can be friendly to use for the people such as for living, shopping, visiting, rejuvenation purposes in an area. There’s also another way of assessing and evaluating Walkability via undertaking walking audit. PERS (pedestrian environment review system) is being used extensively in UK. Basically walk score is derived algorithmically based on its distance to other amenities within 5 minutes of walking distance is awarded maximum points while a decay function is assigned to amenities up to 30 minutes walking distance, scores are then normalized on a scale of 0 to 100. Three customizable set of walkingindices sum up with an algorithm whichconsiders numerousfactors not really considered in other rating solutions such as street type, intersection complexity, PQI accessibility, population density, freeways and bodies of water. A web application that combines open data and crowdsourcingtogethertorate and review the accessibility of each street is termed as walkonomics. The factors which comprise to influence Walkability are quality of footpaths, pedestrian rightofway, traffic and road conditions, land usage patterns andbuilding accessibility along with safety. Hence, it can be concluded that Walkability is an essential and influential factor in sustainable urban design.
