The Influences of Access Improvements in Pedestrian Street Use

Public open spaces (POS) are the main locations which influence the quality of life. This paper focuses upon the impact of street access improvements on the presence in streets. Dardasht district has been selected as the case study. In this district, the improvement project began in 2006. The primary purpose was to determine if there were changes in the reported pedestrian street use after the improvement, compared to before the intervention began. Questionnaire forms have been applied to 348 users to evaluate perceptions of the neighborhood streets. Finally, on the basis of the findings, some recommendations have been suggested.
