目标.描述西澳大利亚州政府的居民友好的细分设计规范（宜居社区（LN）指南）的评估设计和基线结果。对迁入新住房开发区的人（n=1813）进行的纵向研究的基线结果（2003-2005年）：18个宜居区、11个混合区和45个传统区（即，LD，HD和CD分别），包括通常的娱乐和交通相关的步行进行的内部和外部的社区，和7天的步数计步骤。在基线时，更多的参与者在社区内（分别为52.6%; 36.1%）步行娱乐和交通，而不是在社区外（分别为17.7%; 13.2%）。值得注意的是，只有20%的平均总步行时间（128.4分钟/周（SD 159.8））与交通有关，并且在附近。两组的人口统计学、心理社会学和感知的邻里环境特征、计步器步数或自我报告的步行类型、数量和位置之间几乎没有差异（p>0.05）。然而，当被问及是什么因素影响了他们对住房开发的选择时，更多的参与者表示，他们的新社区的步行能力很重要（p
Objectives. To describe the design and baseline results of an evaluation of the Western Australian government's pedestrian-friendly subdivision design code (Liveable Neighborhood (LN) Guidelines).Methods. Baseline results (2003-2005) from a longitudinal study of people (n=1813) moving into new housing developments: 18 Liveable, 11 Hybrid and 45 Conventional (i.e., LDs, HDs and CDs respectively) are presented including usual recreational and transport-related walking undertaken within and outside the neighborhood, and 7-day pedometer steps.Results. At baseline, more participants walked for recreation and transport within the neighborhood (52.6%; 36.1% respectively), than outside the neighborhood (17.7%; 13.2% respectively). Notably, only 20% of average total duration of walking (128.4 min/week (SD159.8)) was transport related and within the neighborhood. There were few differences between the groups' demographic, psychosocial and perceived neighborhood environmental characteristics, pedometer steps, or the type, amount and location of self-reported walking (p>0.05). However, asked what factors influenced their choice of housing development, more participants moving into LDs reported aspects of their new neighborhood's walkability as important (p
