Green Design and Sustainable Architecture
Pedestrian roads in the Czech Republic are currently designed following the valid Czech technical standard CSN 73 6110 entitled "Design of local roads". According to this standard, the width of sidewalks is designed according to the speed, intensity, and current density of pedestrians, ie in a very similar way to the design of roads for motor vehicles. However, the vast majority of small towns do not have processed field measurements that determine the relevant values, so they only propose the minimum width of sidewalks required by the standard (1.5 m), which is inappropriate in terms of the quality of public space. Therefore, the project SVV202104 entitled "Requirements and categorization of the width of pedestrian roads in the context of the type of public space" was created, which aims to develop a simpler methodology for determining the minimum width of sidewalks in different types of public space. The paper builds on two already published texts. The first one dealt with the survey of the legislative framework and available approaches of individual authors, which solve the requirements for the width of pedestrian roads, and the second with the categorization of the public space of small towns. This paper describes the course of field measurements in nine small towns, which was carried out within SVV202104. It also deals with the evaluation of these measurements.
