TILE2NET yields “citywide sidewalk and crosswalk datasets.”

“Not only is comparable data describing pedestrian throughput on sidewalks typically unknown, the locations and types of sidewalks are also rarely mapped, contributing to systemic underinvestment in the pedestrian realm. … Our goal is to map pedestrian networks ‘as they are.’”

Dr. Jose Regin Regidor recently published a paper entitled “Issues and challenges in local bike lane network development in the Philippines” in the IATSS Research journal.

The paper, co-authored with Julshabar Halil of UP National Center for Transportation Studies, examines the Philippine experience of metropolitan bike lane development, drawing on project reports, monitoring data, policy reviews, and multi-stakeholder consultations under the Metro Bikes Program. For policy and practice, the study highlights the need to pair infrastructure delivery with user-centered design, evaluation frameworks, and stronger enforcement and coordination.

Their study was funded by the United Nations Development Programme Philippines, Global Environment Facility, and the Department of Transportation. The authors also acknowledge the local government units, various bicycle groups and mobility advocates for their active participation and contribution in the conduct of the network planning and master plan formulation.

Dr. Regidor is a Professor and current director of UP ICE. He is a member of UP ICE Transportation Engineering Group, and fellow and former director of UP National Center for Transportation Studies.

This map shows that about 70% of the residences in Iloilo City is within a 5-minute walk to the nearest EXISTING public transport corridor.
QNEAT3 is the name of the plug-in used to generate the isochrones. the isochrones here attempt to show the threshold for a 5-minute walk, the 5-minute walk being around 300 meters.
The houses' original dataset is from PHil-LIDAR
which was updated and filtered only for houses.
The jeepney routes data is from Iloilo City's Local Public Transport Route Plan 2022, which can be accessed from the Office of the City Planning and Development Coordinator.
QNEAT3's accuracy tends to deteriorate as the number of points increase, and is also unable to isolate other forms (such as the river, which we presumed QNEAT3 interpreted to be a corridor, hence the green color in the area of Brgy Navais despite the lack of a PT corridor within the parameters set). We still need to explore other plug ins or algorithm for better accuracy.
