A comparison of road- and footpath-based walkability indices and their associations with active travel

EVALUATION INDICATORS OF CHILDREN’S MOBILITY SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT BASED ON ENGLISH LITERATURE REVIEW

“…were selected as the basic keywords. Second, considering that "walkability" is often used to measure a community's supporting level to physical activities and active travel [8] [9] , "walkability," "walkable," and "walking / bicycling suitability" were also listed as keywords. School commute is one of the most important activities in children's daily life, but whether and how they can do this independently are highly determined by parents' safety considerations.…”

“…"指标类文献"及"其他类文献"进行进一步研读。 研 究 首 先 选 取 " c h i l d " ( 儿 童 ) 、 " s a f e t y " ( 安 全 ) 、 "community"(社区)、"road"(道路)、"walk"(步行)、 "mobility"(出行)等作为基本关键词。由于环境的"步行友好性" (walkability)常被用于衡量社区对体力活动以及积极出行相关内容的 支持程度[8][9] ，因此将"walk"的扩展关键词"walkability"(步行友好 性)、"walkable"(可步行)、"walking / bicycling suitability"(步 行/骑行适宜性)等也纳入检索范围。此外，通学行为是儿童最重要的 日常活动之一，而父母对安全因素的考虑往往对儿童能否独立通学以 及通学方式的选择有重要影响，因此"CIM"(Children' s Independent Mobility，儿童独立活动性)"travel to school"(上学)以及"school commute"Core words related to "indicator"…”

The Importance of Pedestrian Network Connectivity for Adolescent Health: A Cross-sectional Examination of Associations between Neighbourhood Built Environments and Metabolic Health in the Pacific Islands Families Birth Cohort Study

“…Using street connectivity only can introduce bias and understate the connectivity of an environment at the human scale (rather than that of a motorised vehicle). This measure can be susceptible to errors in road classification, and can result in the inclusion of networks that are unsuitable for human movement, such as motorways [26]. Despite these limitations, consistent links between street connectivity and physical activity in adults have been observed [27,28].…”

“…This increased resolution improves sensitivity and specificity by characterising the built environment in a manner that would be expected to relate to physical activity in the neighbourhood setting. In a representative random sample of 1209 Northern Ireland adults aged 16 years or over, Cruise et al [26] found street and pedestrian network connectivity measures were comparably associated with self-reported active travel, with only marginal differences in adjusted model fit. To some extent these marginal differences may be due to the typology of the environment.…”

Evaluation of Surface Materials for Pavements and Footpaths

“…Pavements and footpaths are very important engineering structures in communication nets for walkability [3]. According to Tim Massart [5] walking and cycling are green transport modes which will get more attention in the future.…”
