• Assessing the measurement properties of neighborhood scales: from psychometrics to ecometrics. (2007, background): “Few empirical studies have investigated the psychometric properties of survey measures of neighborhood constructs (16, 25, 26); still fewer have assessed their ecometric properties (24, 27).”
• An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, methodology): “Using direct observation, more detailed objective measures of environments are being applied to neighborhood characteristics (38, 62), parks (65), and trails (80).”
• Perceived urban design qualities and affective experiences of walking (2016, background): “2001), imageability, coherence, complexity and naturalness (Ewing and Handy 2009), aesthetics (Pikora et al. 2002; Day et al. 2006; Brown et al. 2007), the location and quality of greenery (White and Gatersleben 2011; Adkins et al.”
• Activity, exercise and the planning and design of outdoor spaces (2013, background): “Many such approaches have used environmental audits to capture and map physical attributes of the environment such as pavement width, street trees or controlled pedestrian road crossings, as well as GIS-generated data such as street connectivity and land use diversity, to characterise the outdoor en”

• Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, background): “These include (but are not limited to) the presence of parks and recreation facilities (Pikora et al., 2002; Wendel-Vos et al., 2004), the presence, condition and continuity of footpaths (Handy et al.”
