Social disadvantage is thought to correlate with and might indeed be compounded by insufficient transport infrastructure. Additionally, the prevalence of pedestrian mode choice for trips is shown to be affected by levels of social disadvantage and vulnerability. For elementary school-age children and their guardians, these relationships could complicate daily mode choice and travel with respect to getting to school. This research explores the spatial dependence of socioeconomic and pedestrian network service indicators through a comparative spatial analysis of pedestrian level of service (LOS; Landis et al. 2001 Landis, B. W., V. R. Vattikuti, R. M. Ottenberg, D. S. McLeod, and M. Guttenplan. 2001. Modeling the roadside walking environment: Pedestrian level of service. Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1773 (1):82–88. doi: https://doi.org/10.3141/1773-10.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and social deprivation index (SDI; Butler et al. 2013 Butler, D. C., S. Petterson, R. L. Phillips, and A. W. Bazemore. 2013. Measures of social deprivation that predict health care access and need within a rational area of primary care service delivery. Health Services Research 48 (2, Pt. 1):539–59. doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-6773.2012.01449.x.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) across suburban census tracts comprising the Putnam City School District in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Results indicate statistically significant clusters where substandard pedestrian LOS and challenging socioeconomic conditions colocate at specific census tracts in the study area, along with significant effects demonstrated under spatial lag regression modeling. Implications for planning and public health are discussed, inclusive of both social (public awareness initiatives, walking school buses) and physical (improvements to the pedestrian environment) intervention.

社会劣势被认为与交通基础设施不足有关，并且可能确实会因交通基础设施不足而加剧。此外，行人出行方式选择的普遍性受到社会劣势和脆弱程度的影响。对于小学适龄儿童及其监护人来说，这些关系可能会使日常模式选择和上学旅行变得复杂。本研究通过对行人服务水平的比较空间分析，探索社会经济和行人网络服务指标的空间依赖性（LOS；Landis et al. 2001 Landis，BW，VR Vattikuti，RM Ottenberg，DS McLeod和M. Guttenplan。2001 年。路边步行环境建模：行人服务水平。交通研究记录：交通研究委员会杂志1773 (1): 82 – 88。doi：https://doi.org/10.3141/1773-10。[Crossref]  , [Google Scholar] ) 和社会剥夺指数 (SDI; Butler et al.2013 Butler, DC , S. Petterson , RL Phillips和AW Bazemore。2013 年。在初级保健服务提供的合理区域内预测医疗保健获取和需求的社会剥夺措施。卫生服务研究48 (2, Pt. 1): 539 – 59。doi：https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-6773.2012.01449.x。[交叉引用]、[PubMed]、[Web of Science®]、 [谷歌学术]) 横跨包括俄克拉荷马州俄克拉荷马市普特南市学区在内的郊区人口普查区。结果表明，在研究区域的特定人口普查区域中，不合标准的行人 LOS 和具有挑战性的社会经济条件在统计上显着，同时在空间滞后回归模型下也显示出显着的影响。讨论了对规划和公共卫生的影响，包括社会（公众意识倡议、步行校车）和物理（改善行人环境）干预。
