Abstract

Enhancing community connectivity through pedestrian network design is crucial for creating sustainable and livable urban environments. This case study focuses on Dadong, a community in China, where the pedestrian network is analyzed and optimized to promote efficient and low-carbon mobility. The study employs urban network analysis techniques to assess the connectivity and accessibility of existing pedestrian infrastructure and proposes design interventions to enhance connectivity within the community. By prioritizing pedestrian-friendly design principles and integrating active transportation modes, the aim is to create a well-connected and walkable community that encourages sustainable mobility choices and improves the overall quality of life for residents. The findings and recommendations from this study can serve as a valuable resource for urban planners and designers seeking to enhance community connectivity through pedestrian network design.
