摘要

This research first identifies correlates of walking for transportation and recreation purposes. It also examines levels of physical activity and environmental supports for physical activity for two sub-populations: those who have high health risk and who are economically challenged.; The research relies on survey data of 438 randomly selected adults living in the City of Seattle, Washington, and detailed GIS data on their neighborhood environments. Findings are that proximity to transportation destinations such as restaurants, grocery stores, banks, and convenience stores, are important for transportation-based walking and actually walking to these Destinations. For recreational walking, such destinations as gyms and parks are not significant but instead, area-level residential density and sidewalk networks are important.; Variables positively associated with both purposes of walking include higher parcel-level residential density, shorter distance to a restaurant, and longer distance to a large office complex. Not only are different purposes of walking associated with different environmental variables, but they sometimes have an opposite direction of association with the same variable. The spatial distributions of walkability also vary significantly; and areas supportive of transportation-related walking may not be supportive of recreational walking.; Having higher health risks are associated with reduced recreational physical activity. Greater economic challenge is correlated with increased transportation-related physical activity. Access to destinations and route characteristics are more relevant to economic status, and perceived social environment is relevant only to health status.; Built environment shows a much stronger association with transportation- than recreation-based activities. The significance of routine destinations points to the need for planning policies that encourage locating these uses within a proximate distance to residential areas. The importance of sidewalks for recreational walking, combined with the popularity of neighborhood streets for physical activity, suggests an expanded role for pedestrian infrastructure to serve not only transportation, but also recreation and exercise.; Promoting both transportation and recreation walking and physical activity will likely bring the long-term health benefits. However, because environmental conditions may have little impact on, or even hinder one or the other purpose of walking, future research and policy on activity friendly communities require targeted approaches that are tailored toward community-specific needs, and different interventions and thresholds.
