| Abstract | The management of pedestrian spaces is considered as one of the strategies in improving mobility as well as ensuring the sustainability of street space as reflected in user loyalty. A three-point approach is put forward by the author as a viable framework that would pave way towards sustainable sidewalks considering a balance in ecology, culture and user. The user-centered framework became a viable model in sustaining the presence of pedestrians within a given public space such as sidewalks given that it bases its management strategies on needs and desires of users and ensuring that such needs are satisfied. Given that street use is culture-bound, culture takes on the responsibility of influencing spatial use and formation. Through the implementation of intensive review, visual analysis of historical materials and street user surveys, a cross-case analysis of streets in Tokyo and Manila was examined with respect to its three dimensions, namely: pedestrian behavior, street sociology and the corresponding street morphology. Furthermore, the paper’s thrust is on the conceptualization of policies on the feasibility of pedestrian street design and management concepts that would facilitate sustainable ends. To conclude, viable solutions and recommendations towards an improved Asian street environment will be provided along with some conclusions and perspectives for future research. |
