Abstract:

In an effort to foster improved public involvement in the planning of transportation projects, and within the framework of Context Sensitive Design, a method is developed that collects community preference at the inception of a project via questionnaire. Preferences are expressed with respect to a pre-selected set of criteria that represent sustainable transportation design features. After quantitative analysis to rank preferences, several “fly-through” visuals are created to capture various levels of community preference. These visuals can then be presented to the community for further comment. This methodology is implemented in Dulces Labios, which is a coastal community in the municipality of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. The study demonstrates that it is feasible to collect community preference data as a means to inform the formulation of design options, and to interpret these preferences visually, in a manner that is accessible to people in a community with varying levels of education and literacy
