摘要：Walking is the very basic method of urban mobility. It was the most reliable method of commuting for the citizen
until the phenomenon of urban sprawl arrived. The technology development on motorised vehicle has since then
successfully replaced walking amongst the citizen. However it also generated worldwide environmental issues.
Therefore many studies had already been conducted to acknowledge and re-introduce the contribution of walking
in sustainable urban development. For this study, authors conducted extensive literature review of 45 scientific
research papers. As a result, authors identified 3 (three) key-elements and introduced them as PLACE: Profile,
Activity, and Environment, of the pedestrian. The Pedestrian Profile is defined as a combination of the following
key-attributes: age; financial income; physical condition; gender; mobility choice; employment and education
background; social cultural capital; pedestrian type; and public transportation usage. The Pedestrian Activity is
defined by the key-attributes as follow: walking-related purposes; social interaction; walking intensity; walking
habits; and transport modes interaction. Then the Pedestrian Environment is defined by the key-attributes of:
spatial planning features; walk-ability; neighbourhood liveability; traffic safety; pedestrian facilities (hard elements);
pedestrian facilities (soft elements); and environmental quality. Based on this, authors suggest that those keyelements
and their key-attributes need to be carefully addressed in the planning process of a walk-able urban
environment.
