Abstract
Mixed use development serves as an important tool in tackling the very many challenges caused by urbanisation. Furthermore, it provides the city with some sort of architectural identity by infusing the culture, and socio economic characteristics of the people into it. The modern day transitioning into mixed use development have become a viable way of efficiently maximising land use and improving the overall sustainability of the environment. One of the goals of mixed-use developments is to ensure pleasant pedestrian experiences. However very few studies have focused on the experiences of pedestrians in these mixed use developments. This paper presents findings from a survey aimed at investigating pedestrian experience at various urban crosswalks and facilities in mixed use developments in Marina, Lagos State, Nigeria. The study investigated the influence of walkability features on walking experience and how walking experience influence the satisfaction of occupants of mixed use developments in Marina, Lagos, Nigeria. The methodology employed is the questionnaire survey approach with data analysed using frequency distribution, mean ranking and categorical regression analyses. The findings of the study suggest that new designs of this type of buildings should take into consideration the distance between adjacent buildings in order to ensure that the pedestrians are able to have a pleasant experience. Furthermore, there is need to provide for lighting features to enhance pedestrian experience. The place of pedestrian walk designs with the shortest routes and non-slip surfaces in enhancing occupants’ satisfaction were also highlighted.
