The term 'walkability' has recently been used to define the level of performance of sidewalks on urban streets. However, the challenge is the measurement of 'walkability'. Since, this measurement in subjective and qualitative in nature, it is necessary to develop a systematic procedure that can generate valid and acceptable measures. Stantec's Asset Management Group's work across Canada involved the assessment of sidewalk distresses (e.g. cracks, tripping hazards, poor repair) for municipalities and intend to develop a refined sidewalk assessment tool based on appropriate measurement of walkability. Walkability measurement is not easy as it involves groups of qualitative measures e.g. Accessibility, Connectivity, Comfort, Convivial, Climate, Context, and Crossings. Each of these qualitative measures is further reflected through a number of alternative indicators. However, defining a unified measurement that considers all of these qualitative measures through

“步行性”一词最近被用来定义城市街道上人行道的性能水平。然而，挑战在于“步行能力”的测量。由于这种测量在本质上是主观和定性的，因此有必要制定一个系统的程序，以产生有效和可接受的测量。Stantec的资产管理集团在加拿大各地的工作涉及评估市政当局的人行道损坏情况（例如裂缝、绊倒危险、维修不良），并打算根据对步行性的适当测量开发一种完善的人行道评估工具。可步行性测量并不容易，因为它涉及定性测量组，例如可达性，连通性，舒适性，欢乐，气候，环境和交叉口。每一项质量措施都通过一些替代指标得到进一步反映。然而，定义一个统一的衡量标准，考虑到所有这些定性措施，
