Race of desperadoes: optimization of the path to the bus stop in the case of a chosen suburban area in Kraków
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
In a progressive and often uncontrolled process of urban sprawl, the safety of unprotected road users becomes less important in the name of maximizing investor returns. Difficulties encountered by pedestrians on a daily basis rarely come to the attention of local authorities. The main purpose of the project, presented in this article, is to create the concept of a tool that identifies problems related to movement in real space. One of the suburban districts of Kraków was selected for research. In order to collect needed data, environmental interviews in conjunction with the survey were conducted. The simulation of choice of the most optimal route to the bus stop, while identifying architectural and infrastructural barriers is described in this paper. Its’ results were used to create the concept of the tool, which, taking into account the further development of the project, could become a useful element for planers in space exploration. The idea of participation of the local community in creating the research prototype was a crucial issue.
