Abstract
THE ARTICLE IS BASED ON AN EXTENSIVE STUDY OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN HELSINKI. THE STUDY WAS CONCERNED WITH THE FEATURES AND VOLUMES OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, AND WITH THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT AND HOW IT IS EXPERIENCED. PEDESTRIAN DATA WERE OBTAINED MAINLY BY PHOTOGRAPHING HELSINKI FROM THE AIR NINE TIMES A DAY AT DIFFERENT HOURS, AND BY COUNTING THE PEDESTRIANS ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THE EXPANSION OF INFORMATION THUS OBTAINED HELPED TO DETERMINE THE PEDESTRIAN VOLUMES WITHIN THE WHOLE STUDY AREA PER STREET PASSAGE. THE DATA OBTAINED THROUGH THIS METHOD ALLOWED THE DRAFTING OF A MODEL FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC VOLUME. ACCORDING TO THE MODEL THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ARE RETAIL JOBS AND PUBLIC TRANSIT. /AUTHOR/
