| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Population increase in the Urban
areas made crowd management a hot topic
today. Pedestrian decision making and
movement patterns are critical in a variety of
application domains. Mass event planning, mass
gathering, individual location planning, and
public space planning need to know how actual
pedestrian movement happens. For planning
such areas, architects and planners are keen on
understanding empirical data of the pedestrian
movements, and it is important for planning and
designing public spaces.
The paper discusses the investigation carried
out in a workshop to capturing empirical data of
pedestrian movements in public space in China.
It addressed the outcome of tracking and tracing
pedestrian movement in temple premises with
traditional methods vs. available technology.
Further, this is an attempt to discuss the pros
and cons of current trends in technology of
movement tracking and tracing and its
implication towards Architecture, Urban Design,
and Urban Planning.
