鼓励人们在日常生活中步行作为一种交通工具，对环境、经济和个人健康都有明显的好处。建筑环境的具体特征对鼓励或阻止步行有着重要的影响。通过识别和量化这些特征，我们可以设计步行指数（WI）。文献中的WI没有考虑与舒适度相关的因素，如噪音污染和遮阳/阳光条件。考虑到这些因素在步行中的重要性，我们决定将它们纳入我们新的基于地理信息系统（GIS）的WI设计中。每个因素的相对权重由咨询专家确定。建议的WI，计算整个城市的马德里，西班牙，使用部分的人行道作为空间单位。这个WI的属性（基于二级来源，空间详细，动态，加权，并包括舒适相关的因素）填补了以前的WI提案的空白。
Encouraging people to walk as a means of transport throughout their daily lives has obvious benefits for the environment, the economy, and personal health. Specific features of the built environment have a significant influence on encouraging or discouraging walking. By identifying and quantifying these features we can design Walkability Indices (WI). The WI in the literature do not take factors related to comfort such as noise pollution and shade/sun conditions into account. Given the importance of these factors in walking, we decided to include them in our design of a new geographic information system (GIS)-based WI. The relative weight of each factor was determined by consulting experts. The proposed WI, computed for the entire city of Madrid, Spain, uses sections of the sidewalk as the spatial unit. The properties of this WI (based on secondary sources, spatially detailed, dynamic, weighted, and including comfort-related factors) fill a gap in previous WI proposals.
