مكانيابي پياده‌راه‌ها با تاكيد بررويكرد پياده‌مداري (مطالعه موردي: دانشگاه اصفهان)

Pedestrianization, a novel approach in urban planning, has recently garnered significant attention from urban researchers an‎d planners. The burgeoning urban population, escalating traffic congestion, air pollution, an‎d the need to enhance public health have underscored the urgency of adopting this approach. University campuses, as dynamic environments influencing lifestyles, play a crucial role in fostering pedestrianization. This research investigates the optimal location of pedestrian walkways within the University of Isfahan. The primary objective of this research is the optimal siting of pedestrian walkways within the university, with a focus on pedestrianization principles. This research is applied-developmental in its objective an‎d library-based, survey-based, descriptive, an‎d analytical in nature. The study population comprises beneficiaries (students, faculty, an‎d staff), authorities an‎d officials, an‎d university experts. A simple ran‎dom sampling method was used, with snowball sampling for the expert population, a census for authorities an‎d officials, an‎d Cochranʹs formula for the beneficiary population. Data analysis commenced with a one-sample t-test to examine responses across different groups. Factor analysis then identified the most significant pedestrian walkway location indicators for each population group, categorized into five indicator groups. Furthermore, the relationships between various aspects of pedestrianization an‎d demographic factors (such as gender, duration of study, etc.) were examined using independent samples t-tests an‎d ANOVA. A SWOT analysis identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, an‎d threats, with corresponding strategies proposed. AHP findings indicated that Axis Three held the highest priority, followed by Axes One, Six, an‎d Seven, respectively. Finally, based on the results, various spatiotemporal recommendations were formulated. Key proposals include subdividing the suggested axes into sub-axes an‎d converting them into pedestrian walkways, integrating bus routes between the University of Isfahan an‎d Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, reviewing an‎d improving the existing pedestrian walkways, promoting a culture of pedestrianization, an‎d developing a comprehensive university plan based on pedestrianization an‎d pedestrian needs.
