Abstract

This research aims to observe the existing streetscapes feature related to walkability in the area of The People’s Housing Program in Kerinchi which serves as part of the Government Program for the resettlement of squatters and to fulfill the shelter needs of the low-income group (bottom 40%) in Malaysia. The stakeholder’s perception of the effectiveness of the existing streetscape feature will be collected and analyzed.The study employs a quantitative approach, data collection is done via on-site study and survey questionnaires. Streetscape features were analyzed from four criteria – enjoyment, safety, comfort, and accessibility. This study identified most of the respondents will spend less time walking due to lacking enjoyment (55.33%), exposed physical safety (42.30%), poor sanitation and street maintenance (54.36%),and poor walkability design for special-needs people (53.60%). The outcome of the research findings suggests several methods in improving walkability by enhancing the walking environment and facilities, implementation of the pedestrian-only zone, congestion pricing, and more active participation by governing bodies.

城市中的可持续建筑:公共住房的可步行性研究

本研究旨在观察克林奇人民住房计划地区现有的与步行性相关的街景特征，该计划是政府重新安置寮屋者计划的一部分，以满足马来西亚低收入群体(底层40%)的住房需求。将收集和分析利益相关者对现有街景特征有效性的看法。本研究采用定量方法，通过现场调研和问卷调查的方式收集数据。街景特征从享受、安全、舒适和可达性四个标准进行分析。该研究发现，大多数受访者会减少步行时间，因为缺乏乐趣(55.33%)，暴露的人身安全(42.30%)，卫生和街道维护差(54.36%)，以及特殊需要人群的步行设计差(53.60%)。研究结果提出了几种改善步行性的方法，包括改善步行环境和设施、实施行人专用区、拥堵收费以及管理机构更积极的参与。
