Two maps of Chatswood, a commercial center in Sydney, showing the difference in detail between OSM (left) and Geoscape (right) pedestrian network data; additional detail is mostly pedestrian paths through shopping malls, parks, and a train station, which are significant for accurate routing.

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...

... Australia, the pedestrian network downloaded from OSM (using all road tags except motorway and motorway link) was more complete than the network obtained from Geoscape (the official government source of roads data in Australia), as shown in Figure 3. In other countries, government road data was not examined, but OSM data appears similarly. ...

... 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). ...
