SUMMARY

A walkability survey was conducted in Hong Kong as a first step towards helping city planners understand scope and extent of existing pedestrian conditions and to identify specific pedestrianrelated shortcomings. The methodology for the survey was taken from The Global Walkability Index (GWI) and Asian Development Bank/ Clean Air for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia) and improved slightly to suit the local situation in Hong Kong.

It is found that very few elderly (>60 year old) walk from home for their daily travel and not willing to walk long distance to access a transport. More than fifty percentage of people are satisfied with the existing pedestrian facilities in the city and those who are not happy feel the need of improvements in street lighting; clean, weather proof and wider foot paths; reducing road traffic and speed; removal of obstacles along the walking paths and more crossing points. Elderly prefers to have more ground level crossings as they do not prefer to walk either subways or elevated walkways and are not willing to walk long distance to access the crossing points. They further prefer to have less vehicle traffic on the roads that makes them feel safer and easier to cross the road.

Among the nine variables that were evaluated in the field observational survey, walkways in Commercial areas have the best infrastructures and level of service, including provision of facilities for disables. Apart from commercial areas, all other surveyed areas scored very low in the provision of facilities for disables. There are plenty rooms for improvements in this aspect in majority areas of Hong Kong.

1.0 INTRODUCTION In the conventional transportation planning practices suggest that personal motor vehicle travel is far more important than walking, representing about fifty times as many person-miles as nonmotorized travel. From a conventional planning perspective, walking (the activity) is a minor mode of travel, and walkability deserves only modest public support. However with the rapid urban air pollution, in modern sustainable mobility management strategies walking is becoming a major green transportation mode among all the developed and developing countries. The many research studies, found that Social and physical environmental factors are influence and correlates with walking behaviors of the people. Walking is the physical activity behavior that is currently the main focus of environmental and policy initiatives in public health (Owen et al, 2004).

Different agencies and personnel have developed several methodologies to assess walkability in locations and cities during past decades. But due to lack of relevant data, those indexes did not able to capture the issues related to pedestrian infrastructures (Eva, et al, 2007). This GWI was developed by Holly Krambeck, a Master‟s Degree Candidate, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and sponsored by the World Bank. The CAI ASIA Center, Philippines initiated this assessment of GWI among the Asian cities during last few years. So far, this GWI has been conducted as a pilot studies in the Asian cities of Karachchi, Bangkok, Manila, etc. A pilot study was carried out prior to the actual surveys, and we made some improvements in the original survey methodologies in order to suit the local situation and with the objective of future cross country comparisons. In this end we selected the GWI methodology to assess walkability related issues in the major cities of Hong Kong. The GWI methodology comprises mainly three components, namely the Field Walkability Survey, the Pedestrian Interview Survey and the Government/Stakeholder Survey. However only the Field Walkability Survey and the Government/Stakeholder Survey results will use to calculate GWI and Pedestrian Interview Survey is conducted to find out the overall perception of Hong Kong pedestrian facilities, travel behaviors with socio economic backgrounds and their opinions and expectations about the development of existing pedestrian facilities.

The „walkability‟ of a community may be conceptualized as the extent to which characteristics of the built environment and land use may or may not be conducive to residents in the area walking for either leisure, exercise or recreation, to access services, or to travel to work (Eva et al, 2007). There are many definitions and ways to consider “walkability”. It can be simply define as the overall support for pedestrian travel in an area. But, although a significant number of trips are made by foot in developing cities, pedestrian infrastructure, amenities, and services are often neglected in municipal planning and budgets (Fang 2005). Because the most developing countries cities do not make pedestrian planning a priority and there are few incentives for them to do so. Therefore the major rationale behind the walkability is assessment of the quality of the walking facilities available in the cities. In this regard the Walkability Index comprises of three components: safety and security, convenience, and degree of policy support. The expectations from these components are to determine the relative safety and security of the walking environment, to reflect the relative convenience and attractiveness of the pedestrian network and to find out the degree to which the municipal government or policy supports improvements in pedestrian infrastructure and related services accordingly.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The main objective of the conducting the walkability index survey in Hong Kong is to identify specific pedestrian-related shortcomings, and recommendations for next steps to improve pedestrian conditions and provide city officials with an incentive to address walkability issues. The Global Walkability Index (GWI) is a comparative study which to rank cities across the world based on the safety, security, and convenience of their pedestrian environments that helping city planners understand the scope and extent of local pedestrian conditions relative to other cities. Therefore this would be a positive step towards improving the quality of the pedestrian environment.

Specifically, the study aims to: 1. Generate awareness of walkability as an important issue in developing cities; 2. Help city planners understand scope and extent of local pedestrian conditions, relative to other cities.

3. Understand pedestrian opinion on existing pedestrian facilities in the city.

3.0 METHODOLOGY 3.1 Field Walkability Survey After studying of the Global Walkability Index (GWI) development report of Holly Krambeck, CAI ASIA/ADB and World Bank guidelines on walkability surveys we conducted 5-6 pilot field surveys in selected stretches (Whampoa Garden, Nathan Street, etc). The main objective of this survey was got familiarized and to do field testing of the ratings system provided by CAI ASIA/ADB and World Bank for different levels of services (LOS) in pedestrian walkways (Annex1) prior to the actual survey began.

According to the actual field observations and experience obtained through the pilot surveys it was decided to change the field survey rating descriptions and examples to well suit with the local condition in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong field walkability survey rating description was developed considering both of the CAIASIA/ADB and World Bank rating description and no any significant changes were made and used same field walkability suvey form for the data collection (Annex 1 & 2).

3.2 Selection of field walkability survey areas According to the GWI guidelines the field observational surveys are to be carried out in the areas such as commercial, residential, educational, public transport terminals etc. However, in Hong Kong has mixed land use types and difficult to demarcate as commercial, residential, educational center. Therefore to have a good representation ten (10) biggest centers of attraction in six types of land use mixes in urban areas like housing state, educational center, public transport terminals were 5|Page

identified and the most popular commuting pedestrian routes at each of these ten locations were selected. At least two routes at each location were surveyed.

The centers and the survey routes were then traced out using Google map for reference (Annex 2).

The pilot field survey was conducted in the selected areas prior to the real survey to find out if the routes selected from the map represent the actual situation. After the pilot survey, some routes which were not often used by the pedestrian were discarded and selected another most commuting route for the survey. Similar changes were done for the other areas as well. The students from Polytechnic University conducted survey in ten areas which were later categorized into six different area types. The following table 1 shows the name of the top ten centers of attraction and the area type.

3.3 Pedestrian Interview Survey Interviewer administrative questionnaire survey was carried out with random sampling for 1029 students/workers at selected busy streets to identify the pedestrian preference in Hong Kong. A questionnaire was designed to find out the overall perception of Hong Kong pedestrian facilities and travel habit. Demographic information was also ascertained for statistical analysis purposes.

A pilot study was carried out in the Polytechnic University premises using CAI ASIA/ADB questionnaire prior to the actual survey, and necessary changes in the questionnaire were made accordingly to suite to the local situation. The questionnaire was first written in English and later translated to Chinese (Annex 3). Interviewers distributed the questionnaires and conducted face to face interviews for two weeks from 16th to 30th January 2010 at selected location. The following table 2 shows the work schedule and venue of the pedestrian interview survey.

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

The pedestrian interview survey involves designing a questionnaire to find out the people‟s perception of pedestrian facilities. The survey, was targeted the workers and students as potential interviewees. By reference to the statistical report (Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department annual reports 2009), there were 3, 497, 000 active workers and 478, 173 students. We decided to use simple random sampling method for the survey. In pilot study, 48 samples were obtained and the maximum variance of questions in the questionnaire was 1.2642. After calculation, around 1030 samples were needed for estimating the population mean with a bound on the error of estimation equals to 0.07. The calculation of sample size can be reference to the following equation. n

 2N B2 ( N  1)  2 4

Where n = sample size = the variance of question in questionnaire N = the population size B = bound on the error of estimation 1029 pedestrians (students/workers) at selected busy streets were interviewed. Data were then entered into statistical software SPSS for analysis. Normality and logical test were applied for initial testing. The details of the analyzed results are shown in Annex 4.

The field walkability survey is an observational survey which involves the assessment on the availability and quality of pedestrian infrastructure along selected pedestrian routes. Observers are required to rank nine different variables from 1 to 5. These variables are briefly explained in the table 3 below.

Table 3: Levels of Services for Pedestrians Variables

Description

Walking Path Modal Conflict Availability of Walking Paths( Maintenance and Cleanliness)

Pedestrians mix with other modes, such as bicycles, motorcycles, or cars. with

Clean, pleasant and convenient paths are important for pedestrians.

Availability of crossings

Ideally, crossing opportunities should be at least every 300 meters to be considered acceptable otherwise when there are no opportunities provided for crossing streets, pedestrians tend to jaywalk, increasing their risk of injury or harm.

Grade Crossing Safety

Exposure to other modes, Exposure time, and the degree to which sufficient time is allocated for pedestrians to cross at signalized intersections are three important factors to consider when evaluating how safe it is to cross the street.

Motorist Behavior

The degree to which cities can manage motorist behavior will largely impact the safety of the pedestrian environment.

Amenities

Pedestrian amenities, such as benches, street lights, public toilets, and trees greatly enhance the attractiveness and convenience of the pedestrian environment, and in turn, the city itself.

Disability Infrastructure

Disability Infrastructure typically services all pedestrians, not just those who are disabled. For wheelchair access, effective walking path width should be, at a minimum, 1 meter wide.

Obstruction

Permanent obstructions (e.g., telephone poles or tress placed in the center of the walking path), are typically the results of insufficient or ineffective urban design guidelines. All obstructions, to some degree, impact effective width and thus should be regulated.

Security from crime

This parameter is important in assessing to what degree are the walking paths, pedestrian bridges, and pedestrian subways perceived to be secure from crime (pick-pocketing, mugging, unprovoked attack, etc)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Pedestrian Preference Survey Results

We found that almost 39 percent of daily trips are made entirely on foot, and of the almost 61 percent of the commuters who use different modes of public transport, a large percentage walk some or large part of their daily commute. (Figure1)

Figure 1: Percentage of people walking and using other transport modes

The willingness of people to walk is largely dependent on travel distance and time. When the travel distance and time is greater most people are less willing to walk and they tend to take other convenient modes of transportation. It is evident that more than 60 percent are willing to walk for a shorter distance and time. (Table 4) Hong Kong has a comparatively larger proportion of population willing to walk comparing to other cities. In Karachi about 21 percent of the people walk daily despite inadequate pedestrian facilities (Karachi, 2009) and only about 18.1 percent walk in Kathmandu (Kathmandu Valley Mapping Program (KVMP), 2001).

However, the recent study conducted by the Clean Energy Nepal (CEN)/Clean Air Network Nepal (CANN) to 305 pedestrians in Kathmandu showed that 88.9 percent of commutersâ&#x20AC;&#x; daily trips are made entirely on foot. About 45.8 percent of the pedestrians in Kathmandu feel that the situation of existing pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x; facilities in the city is in its worst condition (Cabrido Charina, 2010). Mumbai has 55% of its population walking regularly. The study of 30 Indian cities shows that on an average, almost 40% of all trips in urban India still do not involve motorized vehicles. (Pandit A, Bhasin R & Suri M, 2009).

Also according to the walkability survey completed in Colombo in March 2010 by the University of Moratuwa, 21% of the pedestrian feel that the pedestrian facilities in Colombo is in fair while 16% think the facilities are good. Only 16% of the respondents feel that the existing facilities are not good and only 4% feel that the facilities in the city is in its worst condition. However 44% of the survey respondents are willing to shift from walking to other mode of transports.

Table 4 illustrates that many people would like to see improvements in walkways, i.e., to remove obstacles, have wider and leveled footpath; have easy access for disables and reduced vehicle traffic. In fact, the survey results show that 30 percent have a stronger desire to shift from walking to other transport modes if no improvement is made to the pedestrian facilities.

Table 5: Pedestrians major preferences of walking facility improvements; Rank 1= Least Wanted; Rank 5= Most wanted

Majority of people who are travelling on MTR and Bus are travelling for more than 15 km but their average travel time is less than 30 minutes. This somehow reflects that people who travel on a more expensive mode like MTR/Car/Taxi/Bus have shorter travelling than walking. (Figure 3 and 4)

Figure 3: Travel distance of people with respect to traffic modes

Beyond travel distance, travel time & pedestrian facilities, other factors like household income & transport cost is also important in determining why people walk. Economically and socially disadvantaged people tend to rely heavily on walking for transport (Victoria Transport Policy Institute). In developing cities walking is often considered in terms of providing mobility for the poorest residents. But a different scenario is observed in the case of Hong Kong. From the survey result a same number of both low and high income people walk. However, a larger population of high income group is found to be travelling in a car/taxi than the low income people. (Figure 4)

11 | P a g e

Figure 4: People choice of transport mode with respect to their household income

Cross Relationship Walking and travelling in MTR is a major combination of daily commute for majority of Hong Kong people. The decision to selection of transport modes are mainly based on the socio economic factors in the society. The availability of facilities and conditions of walkways, travel distance and travel time also influence on those decisions making process of the pedestrians.

The analysis of the single mode of transport shows walking is the major mode of transport for poor and middle income groups in Hong Kong (Figure 5). And majority of the respondents (about 66%) do not own any kind of vehicle while 15% own a car and this gives a reflection of peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x; willingness to walk. Saelens et al. (2003), also argue that the choices to use motorized or nonmotorized transport are based on the proximity (distance) and connectivity (directions of travel) between trip origin and destination. Walking has to compete with other modes of travel and may be a particularly disadvantaged choice with respect to travel distance. The relative utility of walking relative to other modes of travel drops off quickly as distances between destinations increase (Frank, 2004).

Figure 7: Major mode of transport by age Groups

The travel behaviors change according to the gender, age, socio-economic status and other environmental factors. It is unclear whether the relationship between the built environment and physical activity varies by socio-demographic profile. The physical activities of the women and men also correlate with other environmental factors, neighborhood factors and safety, (Foster et al.

(2004); Bengoechea G., et al. (2005); Suminski et al. (2005)). As per the results from the single transport mode, walking is a major mode of transport for almost all age groups except for the age group between 16 to 30 years (Figure 7). More male respondents walk in comparison to females and no significant preference in walking is found between them. However there is a significant mean difference occurs in their choice of transport modes, male prefers to travel by bus while female prefers to travel by two-wheelers. From the chi-square co-relation between gender and willing to walk to access crossing, male respondents are willing to walk for shorter distance than females (Table 6 & 7). Also the majority of the people (no different in gender) believe that they are most exposed to the air pollution while waiting for the transportation and walking. The result is significant at .05 levels. Tan et al. (2007) also points out that pedestrian comfort may reduce because of the pollution produced by the vehicles. However, when vehicle traffic volume is little or the speed is low, pedestrian may feel that the vehicles are not minatory and the road environment can be comfortable.

The majority of the people are willing to walk if the average travel time is less than 45 minutes or the average travel distance is less than 3km. Also it is interesting to see that the young people of age category between 16-30 years old are significantly demarcated from other age groups in their willingness to walk; and they want less traffic on the road to improve walkability. The major transport mode of the low and middle household income groups in Hong Kong is walking and their average travel distance is more than 15 km. However there are a considerable percentage of high income people who also walk in their day to day activities. Ross et. al (2000) found that residents of socially disadvantaged neighborhoods, both men and women, walked more than those in advantaged neighborhoods, despite feeling less safe from crime. It is found that there is a stronger co-relationship between income and the major mode of transport. With the increase of household income the major mode of transport changes from walking to non walking mode. The major mode of transport of poor people (<4000HK$) is walking and shift to two wheelers with the increase of income to HK$4000-HK$15999. The major modes of transport of higher income groups with HK$28,000-HK$39,999 and >HK$40,000 are minibus and car/taxi.

Based on the mean test analysis (Annex 4), all age groups prefer to have more crossing points.

Elderly people (>60 years) and the age groups between 31-45 years old are not willing to walk for greater distance for crossings in comparison to other age groups of 46-60 years. Majority of the respondents, i.e., more than 73% prefer ground crossings. One of the key factors affecting walkability in Hong Kong is the design of pedestrian crossings and thus crossing time. In general the road crossings in Hong Kong are located conveniently in comparison to other countries. But due to some inconvenience in crossing, pedestrians tend to jay-walk. The study results show that the likelihood of a pedestrian using ground crossing is affected by two factors: high traffic flow and traffic speed on the road. The footbridges over busy streets are to keep pedestrians from interfering with motor vehicles rather than to create convenience for pedestrians. The timing of traffic lights also appears to facilitate the movements of vehicles more than for people (Lai Poh et al, 2009). The result also illustrates that there is a significant relationship between the level of pedestrian facilities in the city (good/bad) and willingness to walk to access crossings. According to the socio-economic data the middle and lower income people are willing to walk greater distance to access the crossings points.

According to the Post Hoc test results of ANOVA there is a significant effect of 10 major road improvements on improving walkability in the city at p<0.05 level for three conditions [F(9, 10213) = 48.94, p = 0.000]. A further analysis of the means of the significant variables with post-hoc tests is conducted to determine the nature of the effect of different variables on walkability. According to the results the wider foot paths, clean sidewalks, removal of obstacles and more crossing points are the most desirables to improve walkability in terms of mean improvement. The weather proof, reduced traffic, leveled foot paths and easy access for disables are also significantly correlated with the wider foot paths.

B. Field Survey Results The field survey conducted in ten centers of attraction are categorized into six different land use types covering 24 road stretches and a total length of 11.9 kilometers (Figure 09). The pedestrian density is calculated using pedestrian count per hour and per meter width of the pedestrian walkways. The survey result shows that Shopping areas (Fa Yuen Street, Ladies Street and Temple Street) have the highest pedestrian density (around 1300) in comparison to other areas. Residential areas (Whampoa Garden and Parc Oasis) on the other hand have comparatively low (around 150) pedestrian density. (Figure 10)

15 | P a g e

Figure 10: Pedestrian density in different surveyed areas

Among the six surveyed types of areas, the presence of amenities is high in Commercial and Residential areas. The areas are less secure from crime due to high pedestrian flow. In terms of walking path model conflict, it is seen that some conflicts in the Shopping and Industrial areas that make walking possible but not convenient. The grade crossing safety in Industrial area (Kwun Tong), Shopping areas (Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x;s Street, Fa Yuen Street, Temple Street), Commercial Educational area (Hong Kong Central Library) and Residential Educational areas (Baptist University) gain low scores. The grade crossing safety is dependent on three important factors such as exposure to other modes, exposure time, and whether sufficient time is allocated for pedestrians to cross the road. In Hong Kong, time allocated for the pedestrians to cross at signalized intersections seems to be less sufficient for the elderly persons and persons with disabilities.

The results also show that obstructions occur most frequently in the Shopping and Industrial areas.

The obstruction in the walking paths often create cumbersome mainly for the elderly persons and persons with disabilities. Permanent obstructions (e.g., telephone poles or trees placed in the center of the walking path), are typically the results of insufficient or ineffective urban design guidelines.

Unwelcome temporary obstructions (e.g., parked cars) are often the results of insufficient or ineffective public space policy. Welcome temporary obstructions (e.g., vendors, sidewalk cafes) should be allocated space such that they both enhance the pedestrian environment without restricting the effective width of walking paths.

The survey results also indicate that disability infrastructure typically services all pedestrians, not just those persons with disabilities. For example, curb ramps are convenient not just for wheel chair access, but also for persons with baby pushchairs, shopping carts, or luggage.

16 | P a g e

Old people and persons with disabilities are most vulnerable to crimes (pick-pocketing, mugging, unprovoked attack, etc). The results from the field survey show that Shopping areas and Industrial areas are less secure from crime as the area are often crowded. These areas need improvement in the effective walking width so that they are less crowded and feel more secure and safe.

6.0 CONCLUSION Based on the pedestrian interview survey results, almost 39 percent of daily trips are made entirely on foot in Hong Kong. 70 percent of the people are willing to walk with the existing pedestrian facilities; however 30 percent have a stronger desire to shift from walking to other transport modes if no improvements made in the pedestrian facilities. They want city to improve street lighting, clean and wider foot paths, reduce traffic and speed; removal of obstacles from walkways, more crossing points and weather proof sidewalk. These factors are very important in determining pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x; decision to shift from walking to other modes if no improvements are done. MTR is their first choice of other transport mode if they shift from walking.

About 66 percent of the respondents do not own any kind of vehicle and the major transport mode for most people are walking, MTR and Bus. Walking is the major transport mode for low and middle income groups but there are a considerable percentage of high income people who also walk in their daily commute. Male respondents are found to be walking more in comparison to females and middle aged people between 16-30 years old are significantly demarcated from other age groups in their willingness to walk. Many people believe that they are most exposed to the air pollution while waiting for the transportation and walking.

From the field survey results, Commercial areas gain high scores in terms of the most variables that were evaluated and Industrial area gain low scores. Residential, Residential Educational, Commercial and Commercial Educational areas gain high scores in availability of walking paths, positive motorist behavior, less obstructions and security from crime but these variables gain low scores in Industrial area. Shopping areas though have the highest pedestrian density; these areas obtain low scores in grade crossing safety, motorist behavior, obstructions and security from crime.

Also, infrastructures for disables are given less priority in Shopping, Industrial and Residential Educational areas but are given high attention in Commercial areas.
