We examined the influence of the built environment on pedestrian route selection among adolescent girls. Portable global positioning system units, accelerometers, and travel diaries were used to identify the origin, destination, and walking routes of girls in San Diego, CA and Minneapolis, MN. We completed an inventory of the built environment on every street segment to measure the characteristics of routes taken and not taken. Route-level variables covering four key conceptual built environment domains (Aesthetics, Destinations, Functionality, and Safety) were used in the analysis of route choice. Shorter distance had the strongest positive association with route choice, while the presence of a greenway or trail, higher safety, presence of sidewalks, and availability of destinations along a route were also consistently positively associated with route choice at both sites. The results suggest that it may be possible to encourage pedestrians to walk farther by providing high quality and stimulating routes.
我们研究了建成环境对青春期女孩行人路线选择的影响。使用便携式全球定位系统装置、加速度计和出行日记来确定加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥市和明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市女孩的出行起点、终点和步行路线。我们完成了每个街道段建成环境的清查，以衡量已选和未选路线的特征。在路线选择分析中使用了涵盖四个关键概念性建成环境领域（美学、目的地、功能性和安全性）的路线级变量。较短距离与路线选择的正相关最强，而在两个地点，绿道或步道的存在、更高的安全性、人行道的存在以及沿途目的地的可达性也始终与路线选择呈正相关。结果表明，通过提供高质量和吸引人的路线，有可能鼓励行人走得更远。
