- Contents in English : In spite of growing demands for research into the pedestrian movement characteristics of multilevel spaces, research attempted so fare has featured fragmented approaches lacking reference in the process of route choice and behaviour. This article investigates how multiple design factors, such as attractors and generators of movement, grate separation by multiple levels, and local visual factors of transition space, affect the patterns of individual route choice and movement behaviour. What is currently important in the design of multilevel circulation systems is a greater awareness of influence of those individual design factors that play an important role in route choice and decision behaviour (and thus movement patterns).
