ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of population urbanization, urban landscape environment is increasingly concerned. Environmental quality not only reflects a city’s cultural literacy, but also relates to the living conditions of urban people. In recent years, the concept of "low-carbon travel" has become popular. More and more urban residents pay attention to green development and take walking as the main form of activity. Green travel can not only improve the physical and mental health of residents, but also improve the quality of urban environment. Faced with the diversified development of modern cities, the public health awareness of residents is also being strengthened, which makes the urban landscape environment face unprecedented challenges. Therefore, how to design a healthy and comfortable urban pedestrian landscape environment is the focus of the current society. Therefore, this paper takes public health as the guidance, and conducts relevant experiments based on the demand of residents’ healthy walking. The experimental data shows that when the walking distance exceeds 300m, the people’s travel intention would begin to decline. In order to make the experimental results more sufficient, this paper also carried out a questionnaire survey. The survey results showed that 88.6% of the citizens agreed that walking was beneficial to their health, and 37.2% of the citizens believed that they should often walk out. Therefore, this paper aimed to promote the improvement of urban pedestrian landscape environment quality. The design scheme of urban pedestrian landscape environment based on public health guidance provides residents with a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle, and provides theoretical help for urban pedestrian landscape environment design.
