Using the lens of intersectional equity, the paper investigates the role of walking tours as a means of advocating for better pedestrian experience and local tourism appreciation. Due to the exploratory nature of the study, a qualitative case study approach using document analysis was adopted. The case of advocacy walks such as Jane's Walk, and local tourism walks such as the school-led tourism walk in the urban settings of the Philippines was explored. The findings show how the context and the social processes involved in walking tours influence intersecting effects of age, disability, and gender but are not generally considered in itinerary planning. The paper concludes that walking using Crenshaw's intersectionality approach could be applied to amplify the advocacy and could be utilized as an initial tool for neighborhood recreation and tourism appreciation and notes the value of a qualitative approach for the needed policy and planning change.

Purpose
While developing economies strive to understand their readiness for transit-oriented development (TOD), relevant research is sparse and dispersed. This study aims to (a) fill the research gap; (b) provide recommendations to stakeholders working in transport, logistics and urban planning sectors; (c) establish a foundation for future research.
Design/methodology/approach
This cross-national literature review combines bibliometric exploration with Prisma-oriented article selection, document analysis and thematic synthesis of findings.
Findings
This review identifies supportive policies, land use, transit design, environment, and neighborhood proximity as key drivers of success of TOD.
Originality/value
The current literature has yet to provide a comprehensive analysis of the key drivers behind successful transit-oriented development in developing economies. This paper helps developing countries' stakeholders by diagnosing transformation challenges, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening regional relevance.

Everyone is entitled to adequate transit in public spaces, regardless of identity. However, general disregard for pedestrian needs resulted in poor urban planning and neglected walkways, critically affecting individuals of varied physical capabilities. The objectives are to evaluate the state of sidewalks today, pinpoint desirable elements, analyze crucial factors when assessing accessibility using an intersectional perspective, and suggest elements for inclusive design. This study emphasizes the significance of intersectionality in establishing equitable public places by considering the varied experiences of people depending on age, disability, and socioeconomic position. An Analytic Hierarchy Process centering on inclusive designs, with participants of multiple intersectional identities, was employed to generate their priorities. Findings showed mobility is a top criterion, while Transport Disadvantaged Persons facilities are attributes that all identity groups prioritize. This paper shows the differences, similarities, and priorities of 11 identity groups and their intersections with varying difficulty in physically accessing facilities.

The development of automated driving technology is expected to reduce the number of traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers because of human error. However, depending on the level of self-driving, it is necessary to assume situations in which drivers spontaneously deactivate from self-driving and drive the vehicle himself/herself. Therefore, it is essential to focus on low arousal levels, reduced alertness, and careless driving as they can easily cause human errors. This study conducted a web-based questionnaire survey on daily driving and driving support functions. The analyses ware used included structural equation modeling (SEM) and ordered logit model. The results suggest that elderly drivers who often experience low arousal levels, distraction, and fatigue while driving and those confident in driving may make human errors and induce dangerous driving behavior.
