Abstract

Walkability has a direct relationship to the built environment. It benefits or damages the urban factory’s vitality, where achieving pedestrian flow means success by reducing cars usage and follows the path to a sustainable city. This research makes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of pedestrian flow in transition spaces using the areas surrounding Via Argentina Metro Station in Panama City, where the Piex building is found; by implementing a direct methodology, composed by two measurement types: objective measurement (recording) during two different times of the day and subjective measurement (survey).  As a result, we have obtained a mapping of the studied area during two times of the day with different answers from the pedestrians, achieving a contrast between both scenarios. Concluding that temperature changes have a direct influence on walking behavior, pedestrians look for the shade produced by the built environment, exposing the importance of transition spaces in the ideal city configuration.
