Abstract
This paper is an assessment of the pedestrian facilities in major cities of the Philippines namely Metro Manila, Davao City and Cebu City. The study shows results on perception survey carried out at different areas of a particular city such as central business district, public transport terminals, educational areas and residential area. The questionnaire tackles traveling behavior, preferences on pedestrian facilities and socio-economic status of respondents at the different areas mentioned. Furthermore, the study rates current pedestrian facilities according to a rating scale adopted from a study entitled "Global Walkability Index" developed by Holly Krambeck. The paper presents descriptive analysis of the results obtained.
