“…In Britain, half of all shopping trips are to locations under 500 meters, a substantial proportion of which are carried out on foot, even in a time of increasing use of the automobile for other trips (Guy and Wrigley 1987). Kita et al (1995) found in Japan that local shops within a 200-to 400-meter radius of a shopping center benefited more from the presence of the shopping center than any other spatial location factor. In Eindhoven, the opening of a shopping center contributed to the overall growth in business in the city center without taking away trade from existing street-level shops (Teklenburg et al 1994).…”

Planning pedestrian environments requires assumptions about how pedestrians will respond to characteristics of the environment as they formulate and enact their walking itineraries. As a consequence, most research interest in public environments focuses on behavior in relation to those characteristics. For example, there is a substantial body of descriptive and typological studies of pedestrian environments. Metric, geometric, and topological models have proved useful in characterizing density and direction of movement. The need to understand the mechanism of choice has prompted microscale and laboratory-based research on exploratory spatial behavior within walking districts. Studies of behavior in relation to comfort, the way in which images of places impinge on choices, and how dynamic and serial experience of the city affects individual itineraries have all developed as specialized fields of understanding. In general, studies of pedestrian environment dynamics have both diversified and multiplied as its systems and methodologies are adapted for planning other environments.

“…Hagishima et al (1987) investigated pedestrian itineraries as a function of the position of a major generator, neighborhood layout, and the location of shops. Kita et al (1995) showed that community facilities generated pedestrian linkages with facilities at tens and even hundreds of meters' distance from the facility itself. Zacharias (1993) reported that pedestrians walked on average more than 700 m to reach a popular shopping and entertainment destination.…”

The Nonmotorized Core of Tianjin

Tianjin is a large, northern Chinese city well-known for high levels of nonmotorized transport. Although successful pedestrian areas are often associated with mass transit, the largest pedestrian zone in China is now found at the geographic and historic center of a city with a metro system not yet in operation in 2005. This successful pedestrian environment has acted as a magnet for commercial ventures since its 1999 opening. In this article, we argue that nonmotorized transport in Tianjin supports core area vitality. How such a large pedestrian environment is sustained internally is examined by considering walking distance, trips between shopping centers, the relationship between pedestrian volume and economic activity, as well as the role of pedestrian generators. The data were obtained through 1326 questionnaires, cordon counts, and 141 observed itineraries. It was found that the majority of visitors arrived by bicycle and then walked a mean distance of 780 m before making a final stop or leaving the pedestrian street. Pedestrians made 1.1 stops at stores fronting the street and entered 2.2 shopping centers. Pedestrian generators and large shopping facilities at the street ends were significant contributors to longer walking trips and overall street vitality. The results support the suggestion that very large pedestrian environments are feasible and can operate as single, integrated systems in a larger nonmotorized environment.
