Quantifying Patterns of Local Pedestrian Accessibility in Urban Milwaukee
Margaret Pettygrove,황철수 국토지리학회 2011 국토지리학회지 Vol.45 No.4
We geographers can derive information about qualities of the built environment that impede or facilitate travel from one destination to another by quantifying spatial accessibility. Evaluating neighborhood pedestrian accessibility is important because it can provide an indication of the associations between urban infrastructure, health, and environmental sustainability. We examined variations in urban pedestrian accessibility at the neighborhood scale and evaluated the associations between the built environment, human activity, and urban resource distribution. In this research, we analyzed pedestrian accessibility in terms of access to essential urban facilities (public transportation and grocery stores) and the overall degree to which a neighborhood facilitates or impedes pedestrian travel. The result shows that pedestrian accessibility is relevant to issues of environmental sustainability as well as social equity because walking is an alternative to automotive transportation and a health-promoting physical activity. These findings could be applied to an analysis of associations between pedestrian accessibility and socioeconomic characteristics or the effects of neighborhood walkability on health. Studying local, neighborhood-level patterns of pedestrian accessibility can contribute to a richer and more precise understanding of the multifaceted nature of urban resource access.
