Rockdale area showing numbers of jobs attributed, initially to a Destination Zone, then to the centroids of meshblocks with employment-generating land uses
Source publication
In this paper, we argue for an explicit decoupling of “walkability” and “walking behavior” and for the advantages of a definition of walkability based on access. This provides impetus for a new approach to constructing and using walkability indices, combining accessibility theory with a goal of comprehensiveness and communicability. Diminishing ret...

Context 1
... Australia, the equivalent smallest scale that place of work census data is released is "destination zone" (DZN) data. Figure 1 below shows the typical scale of Sydney destination zones, although their size is variable. For pedestrian accessibility, this scale is too coarse and representing a DZN as a single point is not accurate. ...
Context 2
... employment figures for each DZN were assigned to centroids of meshblocks within the DZN having potential employment land uses (all land uses except residential, parkland, water and transport) based on the meshblocks' relative areas. Figure 1 shows the result for the commercial centers of Rockdale, Kogarah, and surrounding residential areas. This method will miss jobs in DZNs composed entirely of residential, parkland, transport and/or water classified meshblocks. ...

... For instance, the lack of other transport options may mean walking is undertaken regardless of walkability (Nyamai, 2023;Steiniger et al., 2019). On the other hand, high availability of other modes may lead to lower-than-expected walking (Roper et al., 2023). ...
... Perceived walkability may play a key part in understanding the relationship between the built environment and walking behaviour (De Vos et al., 2022;Mehta, 2008). There is no commonly accepted definition of walkability (Forsyth, 2015), but in this paper, we base our approach on an accessibility framework and use the definition "the ease of access (which can incorporate quality of walking infrastructure) by walking to desired destinations" (Roper et al., 2023, p. 362), similar to De Vos et al. (2022. Thus, perceived walkability is the 'perceived ease of access to desired destinations by walking'. ...
... While walkability of an area could be seen as just an average of the walkability of the segments within, the concept usually encompasses the concept of access to destinations using the network of segments within the area. Walkability can also have a point representation, as in walkability indices that report results at a point (Roper et al., 2023) but this can only occur due to the calculation of generalised costs and destinations across a surrounding area, as points themselves cannot be walked. Thus, if participants report attributes at points, it is unknown what area around the point they are referring to, and aggregating points to identify places requires much more data than for polygons (Brown & Pullar, 2012). ...
