Abstract
Street design has been increasingly required to shift from car-oriented design with the single function to pedestrian-oriented design with the multi functions, However, there is a lack of a lack of comprehensive evaluation for the multi-functional design. This paper aims to identify the influences of street design by function on the comprehensive perceived evaluation. First, a literature review of street design guidelines classifies street design factors into functions in association with perceived factors of convenience, safety and comfort. Then, the characteristics of street design by function are captured by street type, quantifying design levels in street-design projects in Japan. Finally, the mechanism of perceived evaluation for street design by function is analysed with Structural Equation Model (SEM), using the data of an online survey. The result showed that the perceived evaluation of design functions affect one another based on the hierarchy of pedestrian needs, which suggests the effectiveness of the integrated design of functions.
