Afterthoughts On the Walking On the Footpath

Abstract

This article aims to propose the afterthoughts on the idea behind the scenes about walking on the footpath, where is full of the currently disorder and a lot of confusion. People didn't know some path to walk on the left side or the right side. When they didn't know it, they were walking in the middle or they were going randomly. Thereby, it became obstruction on the footpath and on the traffic surface. The author introduced the concepts of historical, philosophical, and ergonomic dimensions that are reflecting the pedestrian culture and increasing the more influenced disorder culture. Then, we suggested the guidelines for the usages of footpaths for people on pedestrian traffic, because they have to obey the traffic rules and pedestrian etiquette. The knowledge in this article will be used as a guideline for the footpath builders and the social leaders within society to design and set the customs or the rules of walking on the footpath for tidiness and lead the well-order into a society with an appropriate level of order.
