To find out factors that influence the use/non-use of pedestrian bridges in Northern Iran.
In this observational study, 4 pedestrian bridges at four different places in Rasht, North of Iran was studied. In addition to demographic data, pedestrians were interviewed for reasons of use/not use the pedestrian bridge. The data analyzed with SPSS software version 18 by non-parametric tests such as Chi Square.
From all 499 participants, more than one-third of pedestrians had not used pedestrian bridges. The most reasons for bridges use among respondents were feeling of safety and security (79.2%) and obey the rules (53.6%). The reasons for the non-use of bridges were time saving (63.7%), laziness (48.7%) and inappropriate of the bridge (34.2%). There were no significant differences in age, sex, education level, and road accidents' history with use of bridge but there was a significant difference between the bridge usage with having a driver's license, rash-hour time, and the presence of a mechanical elevator (<0.001).
The results of this study show that in order to increase the pedestrian bridges use, it is necessary to pay more attention to make standard facilities such as installing escalators or elevators of these bridges.
找出影响伊朗北部人行天桥使用/不使用的因素。
在这项观察性研究中，对伊朗北部拉什特四个不同地点的4座人行天桥进行了研究。除人口统计学数据外，还就使用/不使用人行天桥的原因对行人进行了访谈。使用SPSS 18软件通过非参数检验（如卡方检验）对数据进行分析。
在所有499名参与者中，超过三分之一的行人未使用人行天桥。受访者使用天桥的最主要原因是安全感（79.2%）和遵守规则（53.6%）。不使用天桥的原因是节省时间（63.7%）、懒惰（48.7%）和天桥不合适（34.2%）。在年龄、性别、教育水平和道路事故史方面，使用天桥与否没有显著差异，但在是否拥有驾照、高峰时段以及是否有机械电梯方面，天桥使用情况存在显著差异（<0.001）。
本研究结果表明，为了增加人行天桥的使用，有必要更加注重配备标准设施，如在这些天桥上安装自动扶梯或电梯。
