步行运动对老年人的健康有重要的好处。在这个人群中，步行与各种城市设计特征和街道特征有关。为了获得可能影响老年人步行的微观环境细节的新见解，这些细节可能比社区层面的因素更容易改变，我们采用了可靠的街景审计工具，结合谷歌街景™，来评估老年人选择步行的“可步行性”。对居住在英国爱丁堡的65岁及以上的独立活动的成年人所选择的路线进行分析，发现他们更喜欢在更适合步行的环境中行走，同时也愿意在不太支持的环境中行走。有时，通常被认为对步行很重要的因素，包括寻路和易读性、使用者冲突、路边铺设质量和照明，似乎对老年人决定步行的地方几乎没有影响。考虑了虚拟审计的政策、实践和新兴技术的含义。
Walking for physical activity can bring important health benefits to older adults. In this population, walking has been related to various urban design features and street characteristics. To gain new insights into the microscale environmental details that might influence seniors’ walking, details which might be more amenable to change than neighbourhood level factors, we employed a reliable streetscape audit tool, in combination with Google Street View™, to evaluate the ‘walkability’ of where older adults choose to walk. Analysis of the routes selected by a purposive sample of independently mobile adults aged 65 years and over living in Edinburgh, UK, revealed a preference to walk in more walkable environments, alongside a willingness to walk in less supportive settings. At times, factors commonly considered important for walking, including wayfinding and legibility, user conflict, kerb paving quality, and lighting appeared to have little impact on older adults’ decisions about where to walk. The implications for policy, practice, and the emerging technique of virtual auditing are considered.
