In active living community, Walking is one of the oldest and most basic forms of transportation. Although, walking has generally received little or no attention in the planning, and development of urban communities. Having more walkable communities is a connection and intersection of three overlapped layers of the research main domains; urban physical features, perceptional qualities, and individual reactions. The research has developed operational definitions for the urban physical features believed to be related to walkability, investigating the interaction between human activities and individual reactions as feeling of safety and comfort, through clear perceptional dimension of image-ability, legibility, complexity, etc., within group of urban physical features as street width, proportion, buildings height, etc. However, the research aims to extract the conceptual walkability framework elaborated from the literature and offering empirical study based on a quantitative tool of the formative scenario analysis. Moreover, the research is addressing an assessment approach to have an insightful indication of the variables values based on the conceptual walkability framework, as opportunities to improve conditions for walking to make communities more Liveable. Finally the research offers a field survey instrument, through applying the formative scenario analysis technique to study walkability in one of the mixed-use neighbourhood gated community, indicating the impact of each variable and its relative weight, concluding with the graphical representation, and the impact matrix of the walkable variables of the studying area.

Gated and controlled access housing developments are commonly perceived as a desirable setting by homeowners and home buyers. However, it has been claimed that gating contradicts the concept of permeability, connectivity, and livability of cities. How gating affects residential satisfaction? Answering this question will be hard in the case of studying gated communities because gates and walls are interrelated with several amenities that characterize this type of housing. Therefore, the present research is a qualitative case study that explores the impact of gating a previously non-gated housing area. It highlights residents’ experiences, feelings, and perceptions of their residential environment before and after the installation of the gates. Results show that three domains out of five are positively affected by gating, specifically: (a) place identity; (b) privacy and environmental control; and (c) safety and security feelings. The findings indicate also that privacy and convenience of controlled access is a paramount advantage of gating more than protection from crime. Most importantly is that residents are used now to the benefits achieved from gating that they will hardly force it aside by the need to promote livable and sustainable city life.
