MODERATORS
A lot of universities with large campus grounds take the approach of observing the natural foot traffic wear patterns on grassy areas, and then build walkways where the most worn down parts are.
Its... pretty obvious.
If everyone is taking an alternate, non designed path... your design sucks, modify it to facilitate what people find more effective.
It is not design issue but not well behaved people. It is like saying that the trash can isn't a good design because people are throwing trash on the street. You don't path like that in countries with people that respect rules.
People throwing thrash on the way usually is a sign of not enough trash cans in an area.
Yes of course there are always a few assholes who just waste, but in general you can go by that rule.
No. I regularly see trash on the ground with sometimes as much as 5 trash cans in sight that are less than 20m away.
I believe you, however statistics say that overall people tend to use trash cans if available.
This means your neighbours is special and a lot of assholes are there.
Might that trash have blown out of the can or maybe an animal took it out?
It is not an excuse, you can always bring your trash with you. That is what Japanese people do as there no trash bins in Japan (they are really real rare).
I do take my trash with me but less functional design is a bad design.
