Neighborhood environmental factors correlated with walking near home: Using SPACES
Article Abstract:
A study presents data acquired with the Systematic Pedestrian and Cycling Environmental Scan (SPACES) instrument to determine which physical environmental factors are correlated with walking for recreation and for transport near home. Findings suggest that neighborhoods with pedestrian facilities that are attractive and comfortable and where there are local destinations, such as shops and public transports, are associated with walking near home.
