Research on the road design of outdoor walking groups

Abstract： walk in space such as outdoor street， square， everyone have their own environmental experience， this article will from the road scales， shop， and steps to design three aspects to illustrate their influence and the role of human walking behavior. Discuss how outdoor road space can bring a better walking experience.

key words： walking outdoor space， road steps.

According to the survey， the goal of outdoor walking is to "arrive". According to wu's multivariate statistical analysis and evaluation， travel represents travel and walking， which can be divided into three categories. Terminal travel， functional travel and recreational travel. Outdoor terminal walking refers to the most purposeful walk from the starting point to the end of the walk. Once people achieve their goal， they will end this behavior. Function type walking is refers to a particular demand and began walking behavior， but the demand is not very strong， in the process of this kind of walking and tend to be drawn to some kind of outside stimulus or and turned to other behavior patterns， or change the original behavior purpose on foot， or change the psychological demand.

The scale design of the road.

Only 24 percent of people walk more than 500m. Therefore， in the design of outdoor activities space， this characteristic， set the corresponding sitting and leisure seating. The walking distance of the study group is also combined with the walking path， which is separated from each other， but also influences each other.

Due to the boundary of the people， in the walk in scale is larger， more capacious space， people often feel uncomfortable， so choose the interface of remote space for psychological comfort. According to the Japanese architecture society's classification of the walking time， the different situations of people in walking constitute the change of road scale. need to walk in only for single landscape road width 600 mm is the minimum value， this value is also suitable for the width of the minimum 600 mm single passage just meet often in the one-way street design in order to make a person will pass someone on the other side waiting for the normal road width of 900 mm， in order to meet two people relatively walk and meet； On the same as two people together to walk 1200 mm width minimum for road， in the case of the two people pass by， because "personal space" in reverse and row size than the synthetic and row is slightly larger size， required size is 1500 mm is the minimum path.

The walking path paved the way.

According to the above study， there is a more important relationship between walking and road and road， besides， there are also pavement. In the study found that 41.49% people think that the use of rigid pavement outdoor overall evaluation， not satisfied with the 5.32% think， think in terms of walking outdoors space rigid pavement also needs to have larger ascension. The pavement of the walking space consists of two parts： the paving and the paving. The demand of the person to the pavement wants to have more exploration than the demand pattern， pattern， proportion and so on of general use crowd.

Paving the choice of materials， from the use of the crowd favorite walking the road you can see， second to the first rigid pavement is the cobblestone paving accounted for 22.78%， can be reflected in the outdoor shop outfit material choice， not just the asphalt surface， hope more exploration of pavement materials. The second is granite and cement， asphalt is accounted for 13.92%. These are more traditional outdoor hard pavement. Granite is the most durable material in these materials， and it doesn't need much maintenance. The color is richer and the texture is better， which can improve the quality of the whole space， but it is relatively expensive. Asphalt cement road has the courage to regulate the outdoor plane， the appearance of colored asphalt in recent years， the application of these materials， can enrich the space color， active space atmosphere.

The impact of walking steps and slopes.

Walking space steps and ramps， found in the research， the use of most of the people on slope and steps when the choice， most chose the steps， a few selected ramp， the ramp length is longer than the general than the length of the steps， and some slopes with armrest， to a certain extent blocked use part of the crowd， in order to save from most choose the steps， but the design of the ramp on the one hand reflects the care of special groups， enrich the content of the space on the other hand， to have more choices. According to the survey， the internal steps are controlled as much as possible， and 14 steps are a critical point. When the number of steps exceeds 14， the use of the population is greatly reduced.

Conclusion： on the size of the outdoor road design to use the boundary of the good psychological and winding path， follow the scale of the human body engineering， on the choice of the shop， in a unified design differentiation， using new outdoor road pavement material， the design of the ramp， pay attention to the use requirements of people， meet the requirements of the above points to better play to the value of outdoor space， can enhance the quality of outdoor activities.
