Abstract

Walkability is a critical component of built environments, yet there is still diverse conceptualization and measurement of the construct. The Walk Score ® metric is one measure of walkability, which is widely used in scholarly, industry, and public domains. With increased interest in the use of Walk Score ® as a research tool, it is necessary to examine the operationalization and scope of the measure. This scoping review examined how researchers utilized Walk Score ® in walkability research, with specific attention to identifying limitations related to health outcomes as well as the use of the metric in non-health research contexts. Findings from the review provide a novel and critically nuanced understanding of how the assumptions and limitations of Walk Score ® are addressed relative to socio-ecological aspects of walkability.

步行评分在可步行性研究中的贡献与局限性:范围综述
可步行性是建筑环境的一个重要组成部分,然而,对该建筑的概念化和测量方法仍然多种多样。步行得分®指标是衡量步行能力的一种指标,广泛应用于学术、工业和公共领域。随着人们对使用步行得分作为研究工具的兴趣日益增加,有必要检查该措施的操作化和范围。本综述考察了研究人员如何在可步行性研究中使用步行评分®,特别注意识别与健康结果相关的局限性,以及在非健康研究背景下使用该指标。该综述的研究结果提供了一种新颖的、批判性的细致入微的理解,即相对于步行性的社会生态方面,步行评分®的假设和局限性是如何解决的。
