An objective index of walkability for the Sydney metropolitan region
Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2012Background Walkability describes the capacity of the built environment to support walking for various purposes. This paper describes the construction and validation of two objective walkability indexes for Sydney, Australia. Methods Walkability indexes using residential density, intersection density, land use mix, with and without retail ...

Walkability provides a foundation for a sustainable city (Bhattacharyya & Mitra, 2013). Walking is measured as one of the most sustainable & democratic ways of traveling within the city—the advantages of applying the walkability concept and the factors related to making cities more pedestrian-friendly (TUROŃ et al., 2017).

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
This pilot study had two major research goals. The first goal was to develop a perception-based composite walkability index, with which researchers could evaluate the microlevel quality of the walking environment in an objective and systematic way. The second goal was to test the impact of microlevel walkability on mode choices, including walking as a ...

The development of a walkability index: application to the Neighborhood Quality of Life Study
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009Emerging evidence supports a link between neighbourhood built environment and physical activity. Systematic methodologies for characterising neighbourhood built environment are needed that take advantage of available population information such as census-level demographics. Based on transportation and urban planning literatures, an integrated index for

Creating walkable compact cities is a global priority, and also a priority in Melbourne. There is a growing body of evidence showing that city design has a profound impact on the willingness and ability of residents to walk for transport. Higher density, mixed use developments with connected street networks encourage more local walking for transport ...

Walkability index for world heritage cities in developing countries
Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City ScienceWalkability principles are an important part in the planning process of cities that face urban problems such as gentrification, pollution, and decay of their built heritage. The proposed factors – connectivity, proximity, land use mix, and retail density – form a comprehensive framework for evaluating walkability that transcends the boundaries of ...

Although a significant number of trips are made by foot in developing cities, pedestrian infrastructure, amenities, and services are often neglected in municipal planning and budgets. Since helping city planners understand the scope and extent of local pedestrian conditions relative to other cities would be a positive step towards improving the quality

Walkability, transit, and body mass index: A panel approach
Journal of Transport & Health, 2018Abstract Researchers and advocates have increasingly drawn connections between individuals’ transportation choices and healthy body weight, and most have found a connection. This paper improves on prior research by using panel data spanning 1999 to 2013 from the nationally (U.S.) representative Panel Study of Income Dynamics (N = 23,605 observations ...

Development of a Walkability Index in Support of Urban Planning Decision-Making
By 2030, cities will be home for more than 60% of the global population. In the drive for sustainability, the challenges facing urban planning will be particularly important. In this regard, walking emerges as a powerful tool. Walkable environments offer social, economic, and environmental benefits, but pedestrian mobility is often overlooked in urban ...Gerardo Carpentieri +2 more
