PURPOSES : This study aims to propose widths of pedestrian zones considering the characteristics of sidewalk areas, pedestrian volumes, and pedestrian density. METHODS : We derived a pedestrian zone formula considering the maximum pedestrian volumes, mean intervals between pedestrians (pedestrian density), occupancy widths of pedestrians, and average speed of pedestrians. We compare the widths obtained using the formula with the existing Korean standards. RESULTS: Considering the pedestrian volumes and density, the pedestrian zone widths of neighborhood main sidewalk areas are determined to be 1.4~4.5 m, whereas those of commercial sidewalk areas are determined to be 1.4~2.9 m. CONCLUSIONS: Existing Korean regulations and guidelines provide a uniform standard sidewalk width. However, this study proposed a formula for determining pedestrian zone widths considering pedestrian volumes, characteristics of the sidewalk area, and pedestrian density.
