Many attributes of great places can be related to people and liveability. The presence of people of different cultures, ages and abilities gathering for social activities or recreation can indicate that a place is providing a safe, comfortable and active environment that they can frequent.
This indicator will support practitioners to understand the comfort experienced by pedestrians when walking in a highly dense footpath. Based on the outcome of the assessment, practitioners can determine the ability of a footpath to maintain suitable comfort levels for pedestrians.
Practitioners can use the comfort percentile of pedestrians metric to measure the comfort levels of pedestrians across representative locations.
