摘要: Modern universities seek policies to sustain the streets on their campuses by making campus pedestrian-friendly. To maintain inclusive streets, designers and planners should consider all users. Currently, there are efforts evaluate street conditions for pedestrians. However, a limited range of pedestrian facilities abilities make results previous studies insufficient promote walking facilities. This study attempts create foundation evaluating improving research presents design indicators based different guidelines that various needs. paper also introduces level service (PLOS) campuses, which is measure infrastructure An analytical point system comparing existing standard proposed estimate this PLOS. Although method can be utilized around world, uses it assess Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). identify problems pedestrians used propose improvements streets. Since tries serve requirements pedestrians, specifically vulnerable users whether old or disabled, have room implement accessible routes in
