| Popis: | Enhancing Quality of life (QoL) in cities through achieving a livable and sustainable environment has become one of the imperatives of modern planning and of increasing concern to the public; this term nowadays is linked to the rapid urbanization process in cities especially among the less developing nations. Livability is a concept related to human well-being. Therefore, creating livable streets that enhance safety, comfort, and social relations is one of the main goals among all planners and policy makers. A major threat to quality of life is the high volume of vehicle traffic which is associated with different physical, health, social and environmental consequences. Keywords: Livability, Residential streets, Planning regulations, Livable streets, Statistical analysis |
