| Abstract [eng] |
Lithuania's sustainable mobility habits are just starting to form. However, the analysis regarding walkability lacks depth and structure; there is an overuse of vague terms. Even though walkability is part of a complex urban structure, deeper analysis and more precise evaluation criteria regarding walkability could lead to better urban design strategies and quality of life. Theoretical research revealed key quantitative and objective parameters for a walkable city. Empirical research (GIS, general and sustainable mobility plans, sociological surveys analysis, walk audit and observation) revealed what walkability issues Klaipėda faces and what urban means could improve it. An experimental design project was created with a research-based urban design strategy and concept for Klaipėda city walkability enhancement. |
