Summary: This study examines the impacts of the built environment on pedestrian urban travels using a fuzzy AHP approach, by taking into account fifteen different variables based on three criteria: network design, environment, and safety. We gathered data from academic and industry experts using a fuzzy-based pairwise comparative survey.

Advantage: We adopt two methods for selecting high-priority variables. The average value of cumulative weights, which prioritise variables with a weight greater than the average value, and a variation weights values analysis that divides variables into three groups as high, medium, and low priority depending on the weight pattern slope’s breaking points. The findings indicate that the weights variation approach is more effective.

Limit: Because the survey statistical population comprised both academic and industrial experts, a significant amount of effort was spent identifying qualified candidates and gathering the necessary data.

Results: The results prioritise effective variables including level of stress, lighting, obstacles on sidewalks, width of sidewalk, sidewalk surface quality, pedestrian bridges, cleanness and density of green areas, access to public transportation, intersection traffic controls, and walking utilities. Furthermore, the findings show that by growing policies on the variables of high and medium priority, up to 68 percent of the objective function can be achieved pedestrian urban commuting will significantly improve.
