“…The successful use of focus groups to explore residents' environmental preferences in past research influenced the choice of method. Filion, Bunting, and Warriner (1999) used focus groups to explore residents' preferences for existing housing and residential location options whilst Howley, Scott, and Redmond (2009) used focus groups to explore favoured residential locations amongst city centre residents. Further, with focus groups thought especially suited to the study of attitudes, they seemed well matched to the study's interest in exploring participants' attitudes to the environment (Kitzinger 1995).…”

The 'walkable neighbourhood' is promoted by planners and designers as a normative goal yet resident responses to this environment, the ultimate occupants of these settings, remain unclear. Completing focus groups with 11 diverse residents' groups, a critically understudied politically engaged population which often seeks to shape planning practice, this paper unpacks residents' environmental preferences and examines their relationship to neighbourhood attributes commonly associated with walking. Five dominant preferences relating to local amenities, social interaction, noise, greenspace and density were identified. Positive interactions between these and the considered attributes suggest that groups might find much to like in the walkable neighbourhood. The implications for delivering walkable neighbourhoods are considered.

“…Howley et al (2009a) established that those that chose to live in the Dublin CBD had future aspirations for lower density living. In another study, Howley et al (2009b) points out that factors related to residential dissatisfaction, such as poor environmental quality (litter, graffiti), heavy noise and traffic, and a lack of community, also relate to high-density living.…”

“…They don't have claim on land value rising resulting from greater accessibility but they share the benefit that give rise to capitalization [12]. The compact city model is supported for a number of reasons which relate to sustainable urban development and include: conservation of the countryside, less need to travel by car, thus reduced fuel emissions supports for public transport and walking and cycling, more efficient utility and infrastructure provision Burton 2003 and revitalisation and regeneration of inner urban areas [13].…”

Urban area consumes about main percentage of used energy. Cities need basic review in land management, structure and form to minimize the use of energy which creating environmental pollution. Urban planners and designers are looking for a solution and essential agreement in urban planning and designing principles that can decrease the pollution from rapid urbanization. Travelling is essential for daily needs of most people in urban area. Issues arise when one considers the amount of necessary fossil fuels used in the majority of daily commuting for accessibility to services. It is necessary to design a city to minimize the use of energy which creating environmental pollution. Research conducted in Subang Jaya in Malaysia in 2012 finds a variable which influences on use of car, propose of use of car and commuting distance by car. However it tried to find effect of train station and density on use of car for accessibility to this services and facilities. Findings illustrate neighbourhood distance from train station influences distance to facilities and services in neighbourhoods. However it illustrates derived distance by car was affected by residential lots distance from restaurant, work place, school, park, house area per person, and car ownership.
