Creating a systematic, simple, and inexpensive method to measure walking route accessibility and safety is important for improving walkability in car-dominated university campuses. This study is the first to design and test a method to improve walking environments in Saudi Arabia’s university campuses. The chosen method involved two strategies that created accessibility and safety indices: a student perception questionnaire rating students’ frequently used walking routes (five-point Likert scale) and a walking route checklist rating the same walking routes through field observations (three-point Likert scale). After testing the method on four study zones in King Abdulaziz University campus, the results confirmed its simplicity and efficiency in measuring numerous walkability items. The method effectively highlights walking routes that require improvements, and administrations worldwide can adopt the method to plan and manage campus facilities.

衡量汽车主导校园学生步行路线可达性和安全性的混合方法

创建一种系统、简单且廉价的方法来衡量步行路线的可达性和安全性，对于提高以汽车为主导的大学校园的步行性非常重要。这项研究首次设计和测试了一种改善沙特阿拉伯大学校园步行环境的方法。所选择的方法涉及创建可达性和安全指数的两种策略：学生感知问卷对学生常用步行路线进行评分（李克特五点量表）和步行路线清单通过实地观察对相同步行路线进行评分（李克特三点量表） ）。在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学校园的四个研究区测试该方法后，结果证实了它在测量众多步行性项目时的简单性和效率。
