According to Untermann. Richard K (1984) in ‘Accommodating the Pedestrian’, we are all pedestrians, all of us involve in the continuity community and quality pedestrian system. Whilst, we all benefit from the efforts to provide or improve facilities to accommodate walking. However, every community has a slightly different group of people who would most benefit through increased pedestrian, and these people need to be identified and considered when priorities established.
Part of the current interest in improving pedestrian circulation can be detected to people who have some disability that move as pedestrians. These people are such people in wheelchairs either permanent or temporary disabilities such as people who are blind, deaf and have ambulatory disabilities while defects including broken limbs and …show more content…

2.10 Walking Behaviour
Humans have the ability to determine a movement of their own or run without depending on others. Everyone has a different behaviour. There are many factors that can measure the walking behaviour. According to Diyanah Inani Azmi (2012);Daamen and Hoogendam (2003), the behaviour can be measured by:
i. Walking distance
Walking distance is the fixed distance that can be travelled by pedestrian. The unit of measurement for the concept common in planning profession is often represented by a 400 meter radius. (Diyanah Inani Azmi ,2012;Olson, 2010). ii. Walking speed
Speed pedestrian prefer to maintain uninterrupted route. Pedestrians should not walk on the right speed. Desired or free speed can be identified in normal circumstances, shopping in the shopping environment and a pedestrian rush in stations.
iii. Walking direction
Pedestrians can walk in any direction arbitrarily in areas, as this will lead to a combined direction. Walk towards common are one-direction flow, the same two-direction flow, the intersection of unequal, two directions flow and the flow of the same intersection.
iv. Walking
