“…Tomi E. et al (2016) suggested that a good pedestrian and cycling infrastructure can play an important role in promoting active transportation regardless of educational background, leisure-time, and occupation physical activity. The benefits of pedestrianizing an area are very significant and were identified by a study from Soni and Soni (2016).

Active transportation and physical activity is a major remedy to health-related problems in our society. According to the World Health Organization, the lack of physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality as well as health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular complications and other diseases that are threatening public health. To reduce the health risks of physical inactivity, active transportation, and in general physical activity have recently gained great interest in our modern societies. This paper investigates the main factors that enhance active transportation and the impact on commuters' health, wellbeing and urban sustainability. As a result, a theoretical framework is developed that explores the relevant variables that influence commuter's willingness for active mobility.

“…There are defined 3 levels of service (quality) according to these criterions. Soni et al, (2016) are using space (m 2 /pedestrian), flow rate (pedestrians/min by 1 m of pavement) and speed (m/s) for determination of level of service at each segment of appraised pedestrian route. 6 levels of service (corresponding to ≥ 85 %, ≥ 60 %, ≥ 45 %, ≥ 30 %, ≥ 15 %, and < 15 % level of compliance) are used for pavement appraisal by Soni et al, (2016).…”
