Is it Safe to Walk?1 Neighborhood Safety and Security Considerations and Their Effects on Walking (2006, background): “In a review of the literature, Pikora et al. (2003) found that the features emerging as important for walking across multiple studies include aesthetics, safety, and convenience of nearby facilities.”
Cycle commuting in Belgium: Spatial determinants and ‘re-cycling’ strategies (2011, background): “Policy-related variables (i.e. planning and pro-cycling policies) play a key role in encouraging more and safer cycling through the implementation of a wide range of measures (Pucher et al., 1999; Rietveld, 2001; Dickinson et al., 2003; Pikora et al., 2003; Pucher and Buehler, 2008).”
Built environmental correlates of older adults’ total physical activity and walking: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “, pedestrian infrastructure) and destination domains in Pikora’s framework tended to be significantly related to PA when objectively assessed [113].”
Commuting by Bicycle: An Overview of the Literature (2010, background): “Just like higher densities, having a mixture of functions in a neighbourhood reduces travel distances, increasing cycling’s share in the transport mode choice (Cervero and Duncan, 2003; Pikora et al., 2003; Pucher and Buehler, 2006; Litman, 2007).”
Understanding Physical Activity Environmental Correlates: Increased Specificity for Ecological Models (2005, background): “Measures include: the quality of streetscapes within the subject’s own street (4); urban form attributes within 400 m (10) or 1 km (3) of the subject’s home or the metropolitan area or county level (2); spatial access to every facility within a study area with distance weighted by a distance of deca”
Perceived urban design qualities and affective experiences of walking (2016, background): “…the urban environment, i.e. 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…”
Relative influences of individual, social environmental, and physical environmental correlates of walking. (2003, methodology): “Thus, there is a need for further studies involving better objective measurements of such variables.(32,33) There is a growing awareness that neighborhood design can influence local walking practices.”
