Research on the Factors of Pedestrian Volume in Different Functional Areas of Kumamoto City

Improving urban walkability is critical to the long-term development of cities. Although previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between built environment and walking, an approach that can control exploration different functional areas has not yet been discussed. In this study, features include density, design, diversity, destination accessibility, distance transit. Geodetector regression methods were used investigate impact environmental on pedestrian volume in Kumamoto City. It was found there various dominant for city, including city center (diversity, density), local hubs (destination transit), living (density, UPA UCA design), NPA (density). Additionally, population density land use diversity overly dense area negatively related volume. This study complements research pedestrians areas, provides advice planners government
