摘要
Associations between access to destinations and walking for transport were examined. Households (N = 2650) were selected from 32 urban communities varying in walkability and socio-economic status. Respondents reported perceived proximity of destinations, transport-related walking, reasons for neighbourhood selection, and socio-demographic characteristics. Geographic Information Systems data defined objective measures of access to destinations. Measures of access to destinations were associated with transport-related walking. Associations depended on socio-demographic factors and type of destinations. Workplace proximity was the most significant contributor to tran sport-related walking, especially among women. Regular walking to work resulted in the accrual of sufficient physical activity for health benefits. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
