dc.description.abstract	Undulations in sidewalks result from the improper construction and improper maintenance especially in developing countries and negatively affect the walkability. Based on the observations of most frequently occurring undulations, 39 different cases excluding the control case were created in a simulated sidewalk. A set of participants were invited to walk along each of the simulated sidewalks and their walking speed, feeling of comfort and the walking behavior was observed. Results revealed that undulation depths 50mm, 70mm and 90mm are comfortable and 250mm, 350mm and 450mm are uncomfortable which identified from their behaviors.
