What Features of the Street Influence Visual Walkability? An Innovative Approach Using Cinematic Virtual Reality [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
We present a new method for assessing visual walkability using 360° videos and an eye-tracking in Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR). Visual walkability refers to the walkability perceived by pedestrians through visual stimuli in the urban environment ...

Associations between objectively-measured and self-reported neighbourhood walkability on adherence and steps during an internet-delivered pedometer intervention.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that the built environment is associated with physical activity. The extent to which the built environment may support adherence to physical activity interventions is unclear.

Microscale Walkability Assessment in Historic Cities: Preliminary Results of a Framework Centred on Pedestrian Experience [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Microscale walkability assessment has become increasingly important for understanding how detailed street conditions shape pedestrian experience, especially in historic districts where constrained spatial forms and mixed patterns of use complicate ...

Perceived Importance of Physical Activity and Walkable Neighborhoods Among US Adults, 2017 [PDF]

Preventing Chronic Disease, 2020
The importance of physical activity and community-level promotion strategies are well established, but little is known about adult perception of the importance of physical activity. In a nationwide sample of US adults, we examined self-reported importance of regular physical activity and the importance of living in walkable neighborhoods.

Social participation in the city: exploring the moderating effect of walkability on the associations between active mobility, neighborhood perceptions, and social activities in urban adults

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Living in urban environments is associated with several health risks (e.g., noise, and air pollution). However, there are also beneficial aspects such as various opportunities for social activities, which might increase levels of social ...

Perceived neighborhood environment walkability and health-related quality of life

, 2022
Abstract Background Measures of the built environment such as neighborhood walkability have been associated with health behaviors such as physical activity, the lack of which in turn may contribute to the development of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. However, limited research has examined these measures

Neighbourhood Walkability and Daily Steps in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
There is evidence that greater neighbourhood walkability (i.e., neighbourhoods with more amenities and well-connected streets) is associated with higher levels of total walking in Europe and in Asia, but it remains unclear if this association holds in ...

Perceived Neighborhood Walkability is Associated with Recent Falls in Urban Dwelling Older Adults

Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 2021
Background and Purpose: In rural communities, perceptions of neighborhood walkability, the rating of how easy it is to walk in an area, influence engagement in physical activity outside the home. This has not been studied in older adults residing in urban settings.
