Growing concern about transportation emissions and energy security has persuaded urban professionals and practitioners to pursue non-motorized urban development. They need an assessment tool to measure the association between the built environment and pedestrians’ walking behaviour more accurately. This research has developed a new assessment tool called the Walkable Integrated Neighbourhood Design (WIND) support tool, which interprets the built environment’s qualitative variables and pedestrians’ perceptual qualities in relation to quantifiable variables. The WIND tool captures and forecasts pedestrians’ mind mapping, as well as sequential decision-making during walking, and then analyses the path walkability through a decision-tree-making (DTM) algorithm on both the segment scale and the neighbourhood scale. The WIND tool measures walkability by variables clustered into five features, 11 criteria and 92 subcriteria. The mind-mapping analysis is presented in the form of a ‘Walkability_DTM-Mind-mapping sheet’ for each destination and the overall neighbourhood. The WIND tool is applicable to any neighbourhood cases, although it was applied to the Taman Universiti neighbourhood in Malaysia. The tool’s outputs aid urban designers to imply adaptability between the neighbourhood environment and residents’ perceptions, preferences and needs.

The article is dedicated to the concept of the walkable city as an alternative form of urban mobility. In the work, the authors present basic principles connected with the notion of walkability in the context of sustainable development and sustainable transport. The authors also discuss pro-pedestrian solutions implemented in the Polish cities of Łódź, Rybnik, Szczecin, Gdynia, Wrocław and Katowice, including examples of good practice regarding walkability and the “Walk Score” indicator. The article also introduces typical problems related to pedestrians’ movement around the city. The advantages of implementing the walkability concept and the factors related to making cities more “pedestrian-friendly” are mentioned as well. Overall, the aim of this work is to introduced the concept of walkability as an alternative form of smart mobility in the context of urban logistics.

Chodzenie do szkoły, do pracy, szybkie marsze, spacery czy też jogging – w każdym momencie naszego życia możemy wykorzystać nasze nogi do aktywnego spędzania czasu. Dlaczego warto chodzić? Jak projektować przestrzeń, by ludziom chodziło się przyjemniej, a przede wszystkim, aby była to efektywna i opłacalna forma przemieszczania się?
