Do children walk where they bike? Exploring built environment correlates of children's walking and bicycling

Abstract: Previous studies examined environmental correlates of children's physical activity. While most of these studies used aggregated physical activity measures (i.e., overall physical activity, active travel), little is known about the contribution of specific environmental attributes to specific types of physical activity. This study examined associations between GIS-based environmental measures and children's selfreported walking and bicycling. The study area included "traditional neighborhoods" (N=4), characteri… Show more

“…A longer trip distance is associated with a greater generalized travel cost resulting from increased travel time (Heinen et al, 2010). Trip distance correlates with city sizes and a number of functional built environment factors, such as density, mixed land use, road connectivity, block size, and destination accessibility (Heinen et al, 2010;Krizek, El-Geneidy, & Thompson, 2007;Moran, Plaut, & Epel, 2015;Muhs & Clifton, 2016;Saelens, Sallis, & Frank, 2003;Van Acker, Derudder, & Witlox, 2013) . A compact urban environment-higher density, greater mixed land use, better road connectivity, denser blocks, and closer proximity to destination-can help reduce trip distance, which is more suitable for non-motorized transportation modes (Heinen et al, 2010;Moudon et al, 2005;Saelens et al, 2003).…”

“…Sense of security was also examined among children in our study area in the aforementioned previous study [48], showing that most of the children aged 10–12 (76%) feel safe walking alone during daytime and 28% feel safe walking alone at night. No difference in children’s sense of security were observed between the two neighborhood types [51].…”

“…In fact, only a few of these studies have focused on cycling as a specific practice. An increasing literature addresses the limitations of the active transportation approach and calls for a clear distinction between walkability and bikeablilty measurements (Muhs & Clifton, 2015;Moran, Plaut, & Baron Epel, 2015).…”
