Walkability refers to the extent to which an area is conducive to walking, typically measured by factors such as sidewalk availability, pedestrian safety, proximity to amenities, and overall pedestrian-friendly design. Research in the field of walkability focuses on understanding and improving the built environment to promote walking as a mode of transportation and increase physical activity levels among residents. Studies often examine the impact of walkable neighborhoods on public health, environmental sustainability, urban planning, and social equity. Researchers use various methods such as surveys, observation, and GIS analysis to assess walkability and inform policy and planning efforts to create more walkable communities.
