“…Furthermore, pedestrians and walking play a critical role in urban life, contributing significantly to society's prosperity, the economy, and the environment [5,6,9]. Factors influencing the rise of walking include road user behavior, land use, proximity to public transportation, sidewalk connectivity, safety, and accessibility [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Although walkability is an essential component of sustainable urban design, it has not always been fully integrated into urban planning practices.…”

“…Although walkability is an essential component of sustainable urban design, it has not always been fully integrated into urban planning practices. In modern cities, parks, malls, and apartment buildings have been utilized to create [15][16][17][18][19]. This study considers the characteristics and behaviors of pedestrians, as well as social norms and cultural influences, given that most individuals use sidewalks and commercial streets for walking due to the scarcity of large parks and designated walking paths.…”

In Iraq, walking is primarily used for short trips despite its importance as a sustainable mode of transportation. To improve walking as a means of transportation, it should be considered in transportation planning. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing walking behaviour in Baghdad City from the perspective of road users. An electronic self-designed questionnaire was utilized to gather information, consisting of two parts. The first part includes demographic questions while the second part includes questions related to walking preferences, timing, destinations, and obstacles. The results indicate that 26.242% of respondents prefer walking while 37.113% may walk if the conditions are favourable and 36.645% prefer other modes of transportation. The key factors influencing walking effectiveness are car ownership, trip distance, weather conditions, and availability of safe walking infrastructure.

Infrastructural developments have been implemented with the objective of promoting active transportation as a sustainable transportation mode, including the construction of cycling and walking routes and the improvement of existing infrastructure. The impact of this factor on ridership has been a subject of research, and the incorporation of this variable into mode choice models has also been contemplated. Nevertheless, road users’ perception regarding the utilization of these infrastructures has yet to be investigated. Accordingly, this research aims to examine the role of infrastructure provision for walking and cycling as a Latent Variable (LV) in the transport mode choice of high school students in Baghdad City, where this subject has not been previously addressed. A self-designed questionnaire was employed to collect the requisite data. The Integrated Choice and Latent Variable (ICLV) models have been designed and the results demonstrate that the time and cost of trips have a significant impact on the choice of transportation mode. Furthermore, the provision of walking and cycling infrastructure has a notable effect on the choice of walking and cycling for transport. The sub-models indicate that the provision of cycling fences and pedestrian bridges are the most significant variables. Consequently, it is recommended that these results be considered in the provision and improvement of cycling and walking infrastructures to promote active transportation.
