Although the pedestrian-friendly qualities of streetscapes promote walking, quantitative
understanding of streetscape functionality remains insufficient. This study proposed a novel …

The built environment characteristics associated with walkability range from neighborhood-
level urban form factors to street-level urban design factors. However, many existing …

One major limitation currently with studying street level urban design qualities for walkability
is the often inconsistent and unreliable measures of streetscape features across different …

Despite its wide use across disciplines, the conventional walkability index has limited
applicability in planning and design practice because it shows poor agreement with …

Having an active lifestyle is recognized to positively contribute to public health. Creating
more walkable streets and neighborhoods is an important way to promote an active lifestyle …

Background Neighbourhood walkability has been consistently associated with more
physical activities in adults. Nevertheless, evidence of a beneficial association between …

Background Relationships between several built environment factors and physical activity
and walking behavior are well established, but internationally-comparable built environment …

Much of the physical activity and built environment literature has focused on composite
walkability indices based on the D variables–design, density, diversity, destination …

Previous walkability scoring systems are all based on road networks, even though roads are
not designed for pedestrians. To calculate an accurate walking score, we need pedestrian …

Several walkability studies have focused primarily on macro-level environmental factors.
Nevertheless, previous research has shown that street-level design can also support …
