Abstract:

Walking has sound health benefits and can be a pleasurable experience requiring neither fuel, fare, license, nor registration. Society also benefits by the associated reduction of motorized vehicle travel. The objective of this study was to quantify the walking environment by developing a comprehensive walkability index that (1) reflects resident perceptions of their neighborhoods’ walking environment; (2) reflects the suitability and adequacy of the pedestrian facilities in the neighborhood infrastructure and built environment, and (3) incorporates a pedestrian crash index, which measures the pedestrian crash experience. To improve neighborhood walkability – planners need to consider infrastructure, aesthetics and amenities, pedestrian safety and land use.
