Pavements and pedestrians as dynamic and static factors in urban space are considered inseparable parts of urban life in developed towns of the world.A great amount of time of citizens in various cities is devoted to walking as a refreshing activity. Overwhelming attention to the needs of drivers and negligence of preservation and management of pavements is regarded as dominant defect and weakness of towns.
In the two or three previous decades attention to movement of pedestrians and their requirements as a forgotten issue made a new view and intention in the field of town planning as a walking revolution.
According to the results of this research (case study of Shahr-e-Kord – melat street) that was achieved by distribution of questionnaires among 262 persons (statical selective society by the method of kookeran) we can see that:
Using of pavements for supplying of goods (loading and evacuation of goods) increasing the blocking phenomenon. Also, there is significant relationship between blocking of pavements and public dissatisfaction.

This paper was prepared in response to the UCGIS consortium in the summer of 1999. The objective of this challenge is to review the successes and inferences of geographic information science related to urban and regional planning. This study outlines five areas for the distribution of geographic information science. The development of a geographical database will be helpful for analyzing the planning of combination of geophysical technologies with urban models, the development of planning support systems and facilitating participation in research and education challenges. While scientific advances in building tools are effective in supporting the planning process, little effort has been made on applied guidance in strategic information management. This weakness in the dissemination of the tools of planning limits the application of science for politics and decision making, which is necessary for environmental, social and economic development. The educational process, which is the first important step in technology transfer, contains many challangs, For example, the availability of suitable facilities for the training of planning professionals and other participants in the planning process, and the preparation of the required infrastructure for education and research. Therefore, further research and policy development in the following areas will increase the performance of planning support systems and tools: training and technology transfer, database building, protection and availability, standardization and regulation.
