Unlike walkability studies, pedestrians’ sensory experience during walking received less focus. Literature suggests significant link between sensory experience and sensory pleasure that consists of sensations that are initially perceived solely by human’s five senses without further rationalization. In each walking trip, pedestrians face variety of physical and social attributes exist in urban space that impacts them sensory. However, which of the attributes causing sensory experience or in what degree they impact the pedestrians in widely unknown. In this paper, by reviewing the existing studies, we identified 20 social and physical attributes with their 189 variables. Theoretical mapping and statistical analysis using the variables and senses shows that sight (91%) has the highest capacity to be influenced by the urban space followed by Touch (57.14%), Hearing (33.86%), Smell (18.51%) and Taste (11.11%). Additionally, the result of this review reveals areas of the research that could be focused on for further studies.Current output:Publication
