Walkable streets: pedestrian behavior, perceptions and attitudes (2008, methodology): “This research builds on Alfonzo’s (2005) five-part model of hierarchy of walking needs and on Southworth’s (2005) six-part criteria for design of successful walking environments; and on the recent empirical work of Day et al. (2006) and Brown et al. (2007) on walking perceptions.”
Walkable Route Perceptions and Physical Features (2007, methodology): “…confirm that segments differed in walkability and to characterize those differences, four trained raters used a prepublication version of the Irvine-Minnesota Inventory, an audit of environmental features supportive of walking and other physical activities (Boarnet et al., 2006; Day et al., 2006).”
Perceived urban design qualities and affective experiences of walking (2016, background): “complexity of built features (Ewing and Handy 2009), aesthetics, including interesting, noticeable and pleasant details (Pikora et al. 2003; Day et al. 2006; Handy, Cao, and Mokhtarian 2006; Brown et al. 2007), level of upkeep (Handy, Cao, and Mokhtarian 2006), and well-maintained attractive, varied”
