To investigate both the Walk Score(TM) and a self-reported measure of neighborhood walkability ("Perceived Neighborhood Walkability") as estimators of transport and recreational walking among Americans.
The study is based upon a survey of a nationally-representative sample of 1224 American adults. The survey gauged walking for both transport and recreation and included a self-reported measure of neighborhood walkability and each respondent's Walk Score(TM). Binary logistic and linear regression analyses were performed on the data.
The Walk Score(TM) is associated with walking for transport, but not recreational walking nor total walking. Perceived Neighborhood Walkability is associated with transport, recreational and total walking.
Perceived Neighborhood Walkability captures the experiential nature of walking more than the Walk Score(TM).
研究步行评分(Walk Score™)和自我报告的邻里步行便利性指标(“感知邻里步行便利性”)作为美国人交通和休闲步行估计指标的情况。
该研究基于对1224名美国成年人的全国代表性样本进行的调查。该调查评估了交通步行和休闲步行情况,并包括自我报告的邻里步行便利性指标以及每位受访者的步行评分(Walk Score™)。对数据进行了二元逻辑回归和线性回归分析。
步行评分(Walk Score™)与交通步行相关,但与休闲步行或总步行无关。感知邻里步行便利性与交通步行、休闲步行和总步行均相关。
感知邻里步行便利性比步行评分(Walk Score™)更能体现步行的体验性质。
