The Research on the System of Level of Service of the City Commercial Pedestrian Street

Abstract:

The commercial pedestrian street, which serves as an important part of the city sidewalks, is famous for combining commerce and entertainment. Based on the presence of two typical commercial pedestrian streets in Xi’an city, the research makes a study on the commercial pedestrian street by quantitative analysis. The essential data derives from the questionnaire surveys on the presence of cross-section, characteristics of pedestrian, obstacles, presence of related facilities in the commercial pedestrian streets, and some other factors. Then through SPSS software, the main factors are selected from the data. With the help of previous work, the research proposes the regression model of evaluating the level of service (LOS) of streets. Finally, this research uses the model to finish evaluating the level of service of a commercial pedestrian street Luomashi in Xi’an, which shows that the model has performed well during the process.
