The study aims at improving our understanding regarding pedestrian activity in urban environments by performing a large-scale research about walking (behavioral) and walkability (structural) aspects. The study emphasizes two elements. First, it aims at integrating between the behavioral and structural approaches through the utilization of agent-based modeling. Second, it focuses on the unique characteristics of walking and walkability in the Israeli context. Therefore, it should support planning initiatives related to pedestrianization in Israel in the future.
