Investigating the Attributes Influencing Pedestrian Behaviour of Commuters for Enhancing Accessibility of Metro Stations: A Case Study of Delhi, India
In recent years, the metro rail system has experienced significant growth in major metropolitan areas and this growth is anticipated to continue in India. Land use, accessibility, travel behaviour, walkability, and density are all favourably impacted by the metro. Contrarily, if metro access areas are left unplanned, it could result in clogged streets, poor accessibility, and disorganized urban changes in the vicinity of transit hubs. For regulated urban development, better accessibility, greater use of public transportation, and place-making, metro station areas must be improved. This creates a pressing necessity to assess the current transportation infrastructures and urban built form within the area of influence of metro stations. In order to improve sustainable urban mobility, the current study focuses on analysing the attributes which influence metro commuters to walk in station access areas. Accordingly, Saket and Vishwavidyalaya are chosen as two candidate stations on the Delhi Metro Yellow line. The study's objective is to evaluate metro access areas and pinpoint the attributes that need to be improved so that all commuters can easily walk and traverse through the city. Importance-Satisfaction Analysis (ISA) is the methodological approach used. A primary survey was carried out using a well-structured questionnaire of 340 participants comprising metro commuters. The results showed that some areas need immediate interventions, including physical infrastructure, public amenities, safety and security, and general ambience. The study will help planners and policymakers learn about the problems with first mile connectivity and create safe and inclusive access area plans.
