Abstract

Panama City is in constant growth. For this reason, the government has invested millions of dollars to improve one of its main problems, transportation. Enabling new transport means and building new sidewalks for its population, however, this doesn’t seem to improve the quality of pedestrian traffic due to different factors, including the weather. Due to this, we have decided to study the building of commercial premises, Galleries Obarrio. This is a building that serves as a transition space in the city. In order to carry out this research, we carried out different visits, observations and videos, in order to better analyze the disordered behavior of pedestrians. Observing the videos made an approximate of the people who pass through this sector in an hour, giving a result of 496 people. The calculations obtained from this census are that 56.45% of people transit through the internal corridor of the square, 30.24% of people walk the sidewalks near the building, since those adjacent to the street are very narrow and by these same sidewalks transit 13.31% of people.
