积极的交通方式(如步行和骑自行车)对环境和健康的潜在益处导致了对建筑环境对旅行的影响的大量研究。本文介绍了一项结合环境审计和基于调查的受访者地图工具的研究结果，以测试微尺度建成环境特征，包括绿色街道的暴雨管理特征，对居民步行环境吸引力的影响。结果表明，这种方法足够灵敏，可以将像步行这样的概念分解为单独的组件特征。普通最小二乘(OLS)回归模型的研究结果表明，在以单户住宅为主的环境中，设计良好的绿色街道设施以及其他特征，如公园、与车辆的分隔和行人网络连接，可以显著提高步行环境的吸引力。
The potential environmental and health benefits of active transportation modes (e.g. walking and cycling) have led to considerable research on the influence of the built environment on travel. This paper presents the findings of a study combining environmental audits and a survey-based respondent mapping tool to test the influence of micro-scale built environment characteristics, including 'green street' storm water management features, on resident perceptions of walking environment attractiveness. Results suggest that this method is sensitive enough to unpack a concept like walkability into individual component characteristics. Findings from an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model indicate that in a predominantly single-family residential context well-designed green street facilities, as well as other features such as parks, separation from vehicle traffic, and pedestrian network connectivity can significantly contribute to walking environment attractiveness.
