focus of the study. Below is a categorized list of potential parameters you might consider:

1. Physical Characteristics

Width: Road width, footpath width, and median width.


Material: Surface material (asphalt, concrete, cobblestone).
Street furniture: Benches, trash bins, lighting, signage.
Land use: Adjacent land uses (residential, commercial, mixed-use).
Vegetation: Tree cover, green spaces, planter boxes.
Accessibility features: Ramps, tactile paving, crossings for differently-abled users.

2. Mobility and Transportation

Traffic volume: Number of vehicles per hour/day.


Mode share: Proportion of pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users, and private vehicle users.
Speed: Average speed of vehicles.
Parking: Availability, type (on-street/off-street), and usage.
Connectivity: Links to other streets or transportation networks.
Public transport: Presence of stops/stations, frequency of service, and integration with the street.

3. Social and Cultural Aspects

Street activity: Types of activities observed (e.g., vendors, gatherings, performers).


Demographics: Age, gender, and diversity of street users.
Cultural significance: Historical landmarks, festivals, or rituals linked to the street.
Safety: Perception of safety, crime data, and lighting conditions at night.

4. Environmental Factors

Air quality: Pollution levels (e.g., PM2.5, NO2).


Noise levels: Ambient noise caused by traffic or activities.
