Measuring Walkability with GIS—Methods Overview and New Approach Proposal

Abstract: Cities occupy only about 3% of the Earth’s surface area, but half of the global population lives in them. The high population density in urban areas requires special actions to make these areas develop sustainably. One of the greatest challenges of the modern world is to organize urban spaces in a way to make them attractive, safe and friendly to people living in cities. This can be managed with the help of a number of indicators, one of which is walkability. Of course, the most complete analyses are based on … Show more

“…Kraków is an interesting place to investigate for several reasons. The first one is that, according to Telega et al (2021) , it combines the historical developments of three towns, Kraków's Old Town (established in 1257), Kazimierz (14 th century), and Podgórze (18 th ) century). The other reasons is its situation on the Vistula, which significantly affects its land cover ( Kukulska-Koziel et al, 2019 , Kwartnik-Pruc and Trembecka, 2021 ).…”

“…Otra ventaja es que proporciona un perfil de criticidad que permite reconocer obstáculos con mayor trascendencia y enfocar los esfuerzos de gestión municipal en los aspectos más relevantes que inciden en la peatonabilidad. Por otra parte, quizás sea menos pertinente para el estudio de polígonos urbanos completos o rutas muy extensas, fuera del rango caminable de 800 m. Para tales enfoques, quizás sea más adecuado el abordaje con SIG, bases de datos oficiales o aplicaciones de teléfonos inteligentes (Telega et al, 2021;Yun, Zegras y Palencia, 2019).…”

“…Green space, which is the subject of the analysis in [32], occurred in the metadata nine times, has 16 links and was assigned to cluster 5. Walkability, the new measurement method of which is presented in [33], was the subject of research described in eight publications from the analysed set, is linked to 15 other words and is part of cluster 2. Article [34] uses GIS tools (cluster 1, 17 links, 21 occurrences) to analyse the quality of life, which is related to the quality of urban space to a great extent.…”
