Influence of Design Characteristics on Walkability a Study on MUET Campus Jamshoro

Campus physiological form can play a crucial role so that there is a common source of walking activity, which has many social and entertaining effects; the new citizen's viewer shows that good design will be encourage, also increase mental and physical health. This study analysis the gap in MUET campus, cars, and buses was the most preferable mode of travel while walking was the third. The physical organization of campus were disordered, absence of sidewalks, others problems were heat from weather, conflict among pedestrian and vehicles. The research’s objectives enhance connectivity and accessibility with the help of shaded well-planned sidewalks on different pedestrian origin and destination points for comfortable walking.  In this paper, the four criteria noticed for making walkable university campus include connectivity, accessibility, security and comfort. The number of 278 questionnaires was completed from study area, to find out if these criteria can cause or affect walkability in university campus. The results showed these standards are important from the students' perspective, both quantitative and qualitative methods; Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to analyze the data. The conclusion is to achieve walkable university campus as it would be necessary to evaluate present walking conditions, research walking behavior in different settings and consider these four criteria in designing campus for improving walking condition.
