Abstract
The relationship between street design, land use, and surrounding environmental features has remained a central theme in walkability research since the 1990s. The rapid expansion of Indian cities has led to the assimilation of urban villages into the metropolitan fabric, transforming them from rural settlements into integral yet distinct parts of the city. The socio-cultural, spatial, and infrastructural characteristics of these urban villages are different from those of planned urban areas, presenting unique challenges. To explore these context-specific challenges, we evaluate the associations between street, built, and natural environments based on 21 attributes grouped into five dimensions of safety, comfort, accessibility, connectivity, and environment along four designated routes in Chhatarpur village, Delhi. These five dimensions were further grouped under the broader categories of street, built, and natural environment to frame targeted recommendations. The study helps in formulating a Route-Based Assessment Framework (RBAF) that can be adopted for lanes with similar characteristics across urban village areas. The study results show that no single route consistently performs well across all dimensions, underscoring the need for an integrated approach to improving walkability. The Route-Based Assessment Framework (RBAF) can be adapted for similar urban village contexts to guide targeted interventions and enhance pedestrian environments.
