Walking is one of the most commonly promoted traveling methods and is garnering increasing attention. Many indices/scores have been developed by scholars to measure the walkability in a local community. However, most existing walking indices/scores involve urban planning-oriented, local service-oriented, regional accessibility-oriented, and physical activity-oriented walkability assessments. Since shopping and dining are two major leisure activities in our daily lives, more attention should be given to the shopping or dining-oriented walking environment. Therefore, we developed two additional walking indices that focus on shopping or dining. The point of interest (POI), vegetation coverage, water coverage, distance to bus/subway station, and land surface temperature were employed to construct walking indices based on 50-meter street segments. Then, walking index values were categorized into seven recommendation levels. The field verification illustrates that the proposed walking indices can accurately represent the walking environment for shopping and dining. The results in this study could provide references for citizens seeking to engage in activities of shopping and dining with a good walking environment.

使用POI和遥感数据开发购物和餐饮步行指数

步行是最常用的出行方式之一，越来越受到人们的关注。学者们已经开发了许多指标/分数来衡量当地社区的步行能力。但是，大多数现有的步行指数/分数都涉及面向城市规划，面向本地服务，面向区域可及性和面向体育活动的可步行性评估。由于购物和用餐是我们日常生活中的两个主要休闲活动，因此应更加注意以购物或用餐为导向的步行环境。因此，我们开发了另外两个针对购物或用餐的步行指数。利用兴趣点（POI），植被覆盖率，水覆盖率，到公交车站/地铁站的距离以及地表温度来构建基于50米街道段的步行指数。然后，步行指数值分为七个推荐级别。现场验证表明，提出的步行指标可以准确地代表购物和用餐的步行环境。这项研究的结果可以为寻求在良好步行环境下进行购物和就餐活动的公民提供参考。
