“…(Pivo and Fisher 2011, 186) Similarly Lo's (2009, 163) paper exploring the issue of walkability concludes by partially defining it in terms of measures, specifically in terms of "factors that appear in a number of different walkability measures or metric[s]…" including sidewalk presence and maintenance, universal access, directness and connectivity, safety (at grade crossings, traffic, buffering), land use, landscaping, aesthetics, and security (perceived and actual crime). Leinberger and Alfonzo (2012) use the observational tool, the Irvine Minnesota Inventory, to propose a related list dealing with aesthetics, connectivity, density, form, pedestrian amenities, personal safety, recreational facilities, land uses, public spaces, and traffic measures (Leinberger and Alfonzo 2012, 6; also Boarnet et al 2006;Day et al 2006;Leinberger 2012). Some measures rely on perceptions.…”

What exactly is meant by the term "walkability"? In professional, research, and public debates the term is used to refer to several quite different kinds of phenomena. Some discussions focus on environmental features or means of making walkable environments, including areas being traversable, compact, physically-enticing, and safe. Others deal with outcomes potentially fostered by such environments, such as making places lively, enhancing sustainable transportation options, and inducing exercise. Finally some use the term walkability as a proxy for better design whether composed of multiple, measurable dimensions or providing a holistic solution to urban problems. This review both problematizes the idea of walkability and proposes a conceptual framework distinguishing these definitions. This matters for urban design, because what is considered a walkable place varies substantially between definitions leading to substantially different designs. By mapping the range of definitions, this review highlights potential conflicts been forms of walkability.

“…D'autres audits sont dérivés de SPACES, pour le perfectionner ou l'adapter. Ainsi, le Irvine-Minesota Inventory (IMI) s'intéresse aux facteurs de l'environnement bâti qui favorisent les modes de vie actifs (Day et al, 2006). Il intègre des facteurs liés à l'accessibilité, ainsi qu'à la perception de la sécurité et de l'attraction des environnements.…”

Cet article porte sur la marchabilité autour des résidences pour aînés dans le Montréal métropolitain et sur la relation avec la marche qu’entretiennent les aînés habitant dans ces milieux. Des groupes de discussion ont montré que la possibilité de faire des activités ou de rencontrer des gens constitue pour les participants un facteur-clé de leur mobilité quotidienne. Toutefois, les caractéristiques de l’environnement urbain rendent parfois difficiles les déplacements à pied. La marchabilité autour de résidences et de concentrations commerciales proches a été évaluée à l’aide de l’audit environnemental MAPPA. Une typologie de marchabilité construite indique que la grande majorité des segments de rue n’offrent qu’un niveau de sécurité minimal pour les marcheurs âgés. La vie dans ce type de résidence contraint parfois les résidants à se rabattre sur des activités intérieures, et peut éventuellement mener à une certaine forme d’exclusion spatiale freinant leur participation à la vie urbaine.

Instrumento para condução de observação social sistemática: métodos e resultados da concordância interobservadores

A observação social sistemática tem sido utilizada para a coleta de informações do entorno físico e social da vizinhança. Os objetivos deste artigo foram descrever a operacionalização da observação social sistemática do entorno físico e social de vizinhanças urbanas e avaliar a concordância do instrumento utilizado. O instrumento foi elaborado para coleta de informações em diferentes domínios. No total, 1.306 segmentos de rua, pertencentes a 149 diferentes vizinhanças de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, foram observados. Para o estudo de concordância, 149 segmentos foram reauditados. Para se estabelecer a concordância, foi utilizado o kappa Fleiss interobservador. A concordância média dos itens foi 0,57 (DP = 0,24); 53% tiveram concordância substancial ou quase perfeita; 20,4%, moderada. O instrumento se mostrou adequado para observação de características com maior estabilidade temporal, principalmente quanto a serviços, caracterização dos imóveis, ambiente para pedestres e segurança.
