Evidence for urban design and public health policy and practice: Space syntax metrics and neighborhood walking

Gavin R. McCormack et al.

Summary: Space syntax models the topological relationships of urban forms, and is useful in understanding the associations between street integration and walkability. The study found that street integration and the space syntax measure of walkability are positively correlated with neighborhood walking activities, which is beneficial for promoting walking behaviors.

Measuring perceptions of social environments for walking: A scoping review of walkability surveys

Nicole Iroz-Elardo et al.

Summary: The study identified 20 survey instruments focusing on pedestrian environments, walkability, or physical activity at the local scale, designed to capture residents' perceptions of outdoor walking environments. It was found that most instruments emphasized negative social elements while only a few focused on community identity. There seems to be a lack of comprehensive measurement strategies that cover social environments across domains and subdomains.

Land use mix and physical activity in middle-aged and older adults: a longitudinal study examining changes in land use mix in two Dutch cohorts

J. M. Noordzij et al.

Summary: The study found positive associations between LUM and average walking time in 1000-m buffers, negative associations within 500-m buffers, and negative associations between LUM and cycling in 1600-m buffers. The effects of changes in LUM on cycling/walking remain unclear.

Neighborhood Built Environments, Walking, and Self-Rated Health among Low-Income Older Adults in St. Paul, Minnesota

Hae Young Yun

Summary: The study found that neighborhoods with higher Walk Scores also had a higher level of traffic accidents, which negatively impacted walking behaviors. Additionally, perceived neighborhood environments also influenced the walking behaviors and self-rated health of older, low-income adults.

Examining the spatially heterogeneous effects of the built environment on walking among older adults

Long Cheng et al.

Summary: This study reveals spatial heterogeneity in the effects of the built environment on walking time among older adults in Nanjing, China. The impact of the built environment varies in significance level, parameter magnitude, or sign reversals depending on the location. Policy interventions would only be effective in certain areas for certain built environment attributes.
