Walking to get to and from local destinations including shops, services, and transit stops is a major source of adults' health-related physical activity. Research has been using space syntax measures in examining how urban form is related to such routine walking for transport. This paper proposes to apply a theory of space syntax, natural movement, which posits street layout as a primary factor influencing pedestrian movement. Discussing how this theory can link urban form (street layout) and function (land use) with walking for transport, we propose a research agenda to produce new insights and advance methods in active living research.
步行往返于当地目的地，包括商店、服务设施和交通站点，是成年人与健康相关的体力活动的主要来源。研究一直以来都在使用空间句法测量来检验城市形态与这种日常交通步行之间的关系。本文提出应用自然运动空间句法理论，该理论认为街道布局是影响行人运动的主要因素。本文讨论了这一理论如何将城市形态（街道布局）和功能（土地利用）与交通步行联系起来，并提出了一个研究议程，以产生新的见解并推进积极生活研究的方法。
