Between sidewalks and destinations: analyzing walkability on Campina Grande's main avenue

https://doi.org/10.5380/raega.v65i1.103168Resumo
This research evaluated walkability conditions on the central stretch of Avenida Floriano Peixoto, the main avenue in the city of Campina Grande, from the pedestrian's perspective. In-person and online survey questionnaires were administered to 405 pedestrians. The study identified the dimensions of urban function and comfort as the most critical points. Parking, the presence of weather protection elements, dimensions, connectivity, and route attributes received positive evaluations, primarily due to accessibility to support points and the presence of pedestrians in the morning and afternoon. Overall, some variables were positive while others require attention from public authorities.
