BACKGROUND
Research on walking and walkability has yet to focus on wayfinding, the interactive, problem-solving process by which people use environmental information to locate themselves and navigate through various settings.
METHODS
We reviewed the literature on outdoor pedestrian-oriented wayfinding to examine its relationship to walking and walkability, 2 areas of importance to physical activity promotion.
RESULTS
Our findings document that wayfinding is cognitively demanding and can compete with other functions, including walking itself. Moreover, features of the environment can either facilitate or impede wayfinding, just as environmental features can influence walking.
CONCLUSIONS
Although there is still much to be learned about wayfinding and walking behaviors, our review helps frame the issues and lays out the importance of this area of research and practice.
背景
关于步行和步行适宜性的研究尚未关注寻路，即人们利用环境信息来确定自身位置并在各种环境中导航的互动式解决问题过程。
方法
我们回顾了关于户外以行人为导向的寻路的文献，以研究其与步行和步行适宜性的关系，这两个领域对促进身体活动很重要。
结果
我们的研究结果表明，寻路对认知要求较高，并且可能与包括步行本身在内的其他功能相互竞争。此外，环境特征既可以促进也可以阻碍寻路，就像环境特征会影响步行一样。
结论
尽管关于寻路和步行行为仍有许多有待了解之处，但我们的综述有助于梳理这些问题，并阐述这一研究和实践领域的重要性。
