Description

Spatial map indicating, for each pixel, the degree of walkability on a scale from highly walkable to least walkable

GIS derived raster image, function of connectivity, accessibility and perceived pleasantness with values ranging from 0 to 1 where 1 indicates the most walkable area (e.g., a park with pedestrian lanes well connected to city hot spots like residential and working areas) and 0 indicates the least walkable area (e.g., a major urban road).

Scale as linked to D2.2 framework

• City
• Neighborhood 
• Street

Data source [ link to data framework]

• GIS data
• remote sensing images

Data needs

• Population density
• road networks
• land use
• public transportation

Expected Outputs

• Normalized index (30-1000 m pixel)

Calculation methods

• Remote sensing and GIS software (e.g., ArcMap, Google Earth Engine, R) Calculated from Spatial data provided by city administrations and population data (e.g., Landscan Global population -https://landscan.ornl.gov/)
