Abstract


Dhaka is the world's 22nd largest urban agglomeration, with a population of 22.5 million people. Around 60% of trips in Dhaka are made on foot, yet pedestrians face numerous challenges when using the sidewalks. An observational survey was used to analyze the facts and current state of the pedestrian path in the area. The goal of this study was to look into the current situation and challenges in the study region using PERS (Pedestrian Environmental Review System). There are three measuring system in PERS – Link, Crossing, Public Transport. The study's findings revealed that pedestrian traffic flow and other related concerns are still not being appropriately considered as part of Dhaka City's transportation strategy and planning.
