我们评估了来自两个学校的三个社区的五年级学生步行和步行性的环境和感知相关性：一个新的城市/LEED-ND试点社区，混合社区和标准郊区社区。Irvine-Minnesota Inventory （IMI）可步行性审计表明，新的城市街区提供了更多的交通安全性、愉悦性、犯罪安全性、密度和多样性。新的城市路线提供了更大的交通安全性、可达性、愉悦性、犯罪安全性和多样性，但郊区路线有更大的住房密度、控制网络（父母教育、家里的房间、房屋所有权、父母对孩子步行上学的偏好）。父母和孩子认为新的城市路线更适合步行，当他们住在更适合步行的路线上时，孩子们会走得更多。郊区的分层街道设计通过将孩子们从死胡同引导到主干道，使他们暴露在各种交通安全条件下。通往市中心学校的新城市路线经过宜人的开放空间，这表明社区组织如何创造更好的步行条件。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
We assessed environmental and perceptual correlates of walking and walkability for fifth graders from three communities attending two schools: A new urban/LEED-ND pilot community, mixed, and standard suburban community. Irvine-Minnesota Inventory (IMI) walkability audits showed that new urban blocks provided more traffic safety, pleasurability, crime safety, density, and diversity. New urban routes offered greater traffic safety, accessibility, pleasurability, crime safety, and diversity, but suburban routes had greater housing density, net of controls (parental education, rooms in the home, home ownership, parent preference for child to walk to school). Parents and children perceived new urban routes to be more walkable and children walked more when they lived on more walkable routes. The suburban hierarchical street design exposed children to varied traffic safety conditions by funneling their walks from cul-de-sacs to arterials. The new urban routes to a centrally located school passed by pleasant open spaces, suggesting how community organization can create better walking conditions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
