Pedestrian level of services indicate the environmental qualities of a pedestrian space and serves as a guide for development of standards for pedestrian facilities, but these are based primarily on vehicular traffic flow theory and not on basic requirements of pedestrians like comfort, convenience, safety, security and attractiveness. This paper suggest an alternative planning technique which is more flexible and can be easily incorporated into design considerations.
