Article reports

News paper published many articles

Sheikh Rasheed said it is a foolish project

Asad Umar also talk against this project

Pervez Elahi said a Jungle bus

But Haneef Abbasi ,his supervision this project talk about the benefits for the

city people

Firstly CDA objection it will kill the green belt of Islamabad

At the end EPA approved this project

Hypothesis

Is this study measure the walkability analysis and walkability index?

Logically prove

People will be reached their destination minimum time

They save money

They protect the dusty and polluted environment

Tools & Techniques (Methodologies).

Google Earth (Footprint Mapping)

ArcGIS (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, Arcscene etc.)

Ground Truthing (Field Surveying)

ActiGraph

GIS tool WalkAbility Index

Urban Expansion model & SELUTH model

Objective

Measure and analyze the low and high walkability index

Analyze the densification of people in Metro bus stations

Predict the urban sprawl for future analysis

Walkability Index

i. residential density

ii commercial density

Scope

This study cover the route ( Flashman's terminal to Pak secretariat) which

connect two cities (Rawalpindi & Islamabad)of Pakistan. It measure the

walkability on this route and predicts from future analysis from 2025 to 2035.

Conclusion:

The basic purpose of this study is to analyze and

measure the walkability and walkability analysis for

the present situation and for future prediction. It

would be related the city people environment and

influence their routinely activity. It should be also

realized the urban sprawl effect on densification on

the Metro Bus stops.
