| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigated potential association between walkability of neighborhoods and health status of residents based upon objective indices of neighborhood environments derived from spatial and other statistical databases as well as residents’ subjective evaluations of environments and their own health obtained from a questionnaire survey. This research found spatial distributional patterns of walkability indices and their mutual associations. A questionnaire survey conducted in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, indicated that residents’ subjective evaluations of neighborhood walkability varied spatially and that some walkability indices used in preceding research in western countries might not work well in Japanese urban structures.
