Perceived Walkability and Respective Urban Determinants: Insights from Bologna and Porto

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
Walking is undoubtedly a sustainable and healthy mode of transport. However, the decision to walk is influenced by many built environment and streetscape attributes. Specifically, the term walkability is used to describe the extent to which the urban environment is pedestrian-friendly, usually by quantifying multiple built environment attributes at the

Dog Ownership and Walking: Perceived and Audited Walkability and Activity Correlates [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Few studies assess dog ownership and walking with both self-reported or perceived and audited or objective walkability and physical activity measures. Across two years, we examined both types of walkability and activity measures for residents living within 2km of a “complete street”—one renovated with light rails, bike lanes, and sidewalks.

Few studies of walkability include both perceived and audited walkability measures. We examined perceived walkability (Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale—Abbreviated, NEWS-A) and audited walkability (Irvine–Minnesota Inventory, IMI) measures for residents living within 2 km of a “complete street”—one renovated with light rail, bike lanes, and ...

A participatory mapping approach to capturing perceived walkability

open access: yesTransportation Research, Part A: Policy and Practice
We present a novel method for capturing citizens’ views on perceived walkability. Peoples’ decisions to use any transport mode are determined by perceived accessibility, thus perceived walkability is vital to the decision to walk for transport. To date, approaches to understanding perceived walkability, such as detailed ‘walkability audit’ instruments,

Analysing the determinants of perceived walkability, and its effects on walking

open access: yesTransportation Research, Part A: Policy and Practice
Walking is a healthy, cheap and environment-friendly way of travelling. Besides some studies finding effects of the built environment on walking behaviour, the influence of perceived neighbourhood walkability on walking remains largely unknown. In this study, we apply and validate the Short Perceived Walkability Scale (SPWS), a recently developed and ...
