Research on Route Selection and Design of Urban Slow Corridor in Yichang City Supported by Multi-source Data
Rapid urbanization has accelerated the pace of life for urban residents,leading to issues such as urban traffic congestion and decline in the quality of residents'travel.Currently,cities serve as crucial platforms for promoting high-quality development,and the construction of urban slow-walking corridors represents a vital approach to enhance urban life quality.However,the planning and construction of these slow-walking corridors have predominantly followed a top-down approach,lacking a refined spatial identification and efficiency assessment from a human-scale perspective.To address this,using the old city of Yichang as a case study,the construction project for slow-walking corridors integrates the travel characteristics and needs of the public,the physical spatial environment of the city,and various other factors.It takes into full consideration factors such as accessibility,landscape,comfort,and economic feasibility.The"5D Theory"is employed to systematically evaluate the quality of the urban built environment,utilizing urban streetscape data,POI data,traffic data,and heat map data.Based on the findings of this study,corresponding design strategies are proposed concerning traffic organization,spatial composition,and basic service facilities within the urban slow-walking system.The ultimate goal of this study is to establish Yichang as a benchmark slow-walking corridor that prioritizes accessibility and comfort,thereby offering new solutions for the practical implementation of an urban slow-walking system.
