騎樓為台灣地區最常見且為最主要的人行空間型態之一，其中以淨寬與高低差為影響騎樓通行之主要因子，因此瞭解何者為最影響行人通行效率與安全則為值得探討之課題。
本研究以量化評估方式，首先以實驗設計法建立不同影響因子下之模擬情境，再利用Pathfinder疏散模擬軟體建構行人行走於騎樓整平前後及不同淨寬大小之通行空間，藉以瞭解行人流動之變化情形，經由模擬輸出之總步行時間數據結果及觀察3D動態模擬影像，進行騎樓空間分析與評估，試圖找出步道瓶頸點所在位置，進而提出改善建議，又以台灣目前騎樓相關規定及使用狀況來看，要達到全面淨空仍有相當努力的空間，因此最後本研究在不影響行人通行效率與安全之前提下，將提出騎樓空間配置規劃建議原則，可供政府相關單位推動政策參考，期能符合台灣真實之騎樓使用狀況與需求。

One of the most commonly used passageways for the pedestrians in Taiwan is the arcades. Nonetheless, it is observed that the inconvenience of walking on the arcades is caused by the width of the passageways and the height difference. Consequently, realizing what influences the efficiency and safety of the arcades is worth exploring. This study is conducted by quantitative assessment so as to understand the pedestrians’ flow by establishing simulated scenario with controlling factors and evacuating the pedestrians walking on different leveling of the arcades and the width of the passageway with Pathfinder. Eventually, the analog output of the total walking period and the observation of 3D dynamic analog image are analyzed and evaluated on the arcades walking space so as to identify the obstacles on the passageways and provide further information for the authority concerned.
As far as the current regulations and service conditions are concerned, there still leaves some rooms for improvement on achieving the thorough clearance on the arcades in Taiwan. As a result, this study brings forward the recommended arcades reconfiguration without affecting the efficiency and safety for the pedestrians in order to meet the precise situation and demand on providing the reference to promote the policies for the authorities concerned.
