抄録

 In this paper, the structural relationships among pedestrian perceptions, behavior, traffic, and level of service are investigated using a structural equation model. Observation was conducted at the sidewalk with vendors activities. The main research results are as follows: pedestrian behavior/attitude has a positive direct effect on perception and traffic, and a negative direct effect on level of service. Pedestrian traffic has a positive direct effect on perception and level of service. Pedestrian perception has a positive direct effect on level of service. Finally, this research indicates that pedestrian traffic is the most important factor for pedestrian level of service.
