Ability to walk, Walkability index, Pedestrians, Bang Sue DistrictAbstract
This research was conducted to study walking ability in the Bangkok study area, specifically in the Bang Sue District. The study area is more developed due to the activation of the Bang Sue Central Station red line train and the increasing facilities for various forms of transportation. There is also a large number of pedestrians in the study area. Therefore, this study assessed the ability to walk in the overall network of the area using the (Walkability Index, WI). This method includes factors and physical problems faced by pedestrian users in the affected area. The results of the study can be used to improve and develop the ability to walk in the study area for a better future.
