在过去的十年中，对建筑环境和身体活动之间关系的实证调查急剧增加。为了创造方便和鼓励步行的场所，从业者需要了解与步行最密切相关的建筑环境的具体特征。本文综述了建筑环境与步行相关的证据。本综述包括2002年至2006年期间发表的13篇综述和2005年至2006年5月期间发表的29篇原始研究。根据建筑环境和交通步行与休闲步行的具体特征对结果进行了总结。先前的评论和最新的研究表明，步行交通与人口密度、到非住宅目的地的距离和土地使用组合之间存在一致的正相关关系；路线/网络连通性、公园和开放空间以及人身安全方面的调查结果则更加模棱两可。关于休闲散步的结果则不太清楚。最近的证据支持先前综述的结论，新的研究解决了早期研究的一些局限性。虽然需要前瞻性研究，但相关的证据似乎足以支持政策变化。
The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the empirical investigation into the relations between built environmental and physical activity. To create places that facilitate and encourage walking, practitioners need an understanding of the specific characteristics of the built environment that correlate most strongly with walking. This paper reviews evidence on the built environment correlates with walking. Included in this review were 13 reviews published between 2002 and 2006 and 29 original studies published in 2005 and up through May 2006. Results were summarized based on specific characteristics of the built environment and transportation walking versus recreational walking. Previous reviews and newer studies document consistent positive relations between walking for transportation and density, distance to non-residential destinations, and land use mix; findings for route/network connectivity, parks and open space, and personal safety are more equivocal. Results regarding recreational walking were less clear. More recent evidence supports the conclusions of prior reviews, and new studies address some of the limitations of earlier studies. Although prospective studies are needed, evidence on correlates appears sufficient to support policy changes.
