“…In Equation , street circuits are formed by three edges, while urban blocks are tetrahedrons (due to the special situations of streets' alignments and the conventional separation of parcels). Hence, it is more rational to modify Equation into Equation in order to form four‐edge circuits (Motieyan & Mesgari, 2018).

“…Based on these consequences, most of the modern planning and new urbanism theories, such as Transit‐Oriented Development (TOD) and smart growth, attempt to build more walkable neighborhoods (Cervero, 2004; Motieyan & Mesgari, 2018; Sung & Oh, 2011; Taleai & Amiri, 2017). In other words, these new urban theories evaluate the designs based on walkability and cycling conditions (Singh et al, 2014; Wey, 2015; Wey et al, 2016).…”

Urbanization and modernization of services in the world triggers decrement in the physical activities of citizens. The most common solution for this decrement is improving walking capacity in neighborhoods to engage the citizens in walking activity. In this research, a novel model is presented to quantify walkability based on several necessary criteria and indicators considering the physical and non-physical conditions. For this model, promising sciences, including GIS, RS, and MCDM, are utilized to compute indicators and aggregate them in the form of a spatial index in a central region of Tehran, Iran, at the neighborhood scale. For evaluating the result, the obtained walkability level is compared to the physical structure of neighborhoods, previous works, housing price along with some other socio-economic parameters, and municipal action plan in the neighborhoods. These evaluations show that the outcome of the proposed model is a robust tool for walkability planning.

“…The second category includes variables that, although they do not measure the distance between origin and destination, they will affect the ease of access to activities (Azmoodeh et al., 2020; Litman, 2016; Motieyan and Mesgari, 2018) believes that variables such as available options for transportation, user information, integration of travel modes, mode price and affordability, travel alternatives, land use mixedness, street connectivity, transportation network connection, etc. will affect people’s accessibility.…”

Fair spatial distribution of services has always been a challenge for urban planners to supply sufficient accessibility for individuals and to consider the needs of vulnerable social groups. Nevertheless, equity assessment literature has mostly focused on measuring the accessibility through distance-based variables, and social stratification based on just income, as well. Accordingly, this study intends to employ an accessibility measure that considers non-distance-based variables along with distance-based ones. It uses multi-criteria decision-making to propose an accessibility index to assess vertical and horizontal equity of residents’ accessibility to a range of public facilities, in the district 6 of Tehran, Iran. Therefore, using the integration of geographical information system-based spatial analysis, wider people specification, and the Gini coefficient, this measure proposes a novel framework to examine the equity level of individuals belonging to the lower, middle, and upper social classes. Results imply a 0.228 Gini index for horizontal equity, which indicates a low level of inequity among residents. Besides, for vertical equity evaluation, Gini index of 0.097, 0.249, and 0.167, respectively, for lower, middle, and upper groups show people in the lower class experience very low levels of inequity, therefore higher accessibility is well distributed among groups with higher social needs. This approach can help planners to choose the right analysis method and prioritize urban decisions toward the equitable distribution of facilities.
