Drawing on two Southern California neighborhoods, this paper assesses children’s perceptions of the risks of walking to school in urban and low-income communities of color, balanced against the expected benefits of child independent mobility. Quantitatively-estimated relationships between children’s travel modes and environmental observations show that those who walk to school – especially those who walk alone – exhibit heightened environmental perceptions at granular levels. They identify more negative aspects of the built environment (both social and physical) than those who are driven, suggesting they feel more vulnerable along their school routes. They also make more observations of the built environment in aggregate, suggesting that walking – an interactive mode of travel – confers greater spatial awareness. To maximize the psychological, cognitive, and social well-being benefits that child pedestrians can accrue from their experiences in inner-city settings, measures mitigating neighborhood risks are a necessary complement to existing traffic safety-oriented policies.

独立出行的矛盾心理:平衡市中心社区步行上学的感知风险和预期收益

本文以南加州的两个社区为背景,评估了儿童对城市和低收入有色人种社区步行上学风险的看法,并与儿童独立行动的预期好处进行了权衡。儿童出行方式与环境观察之间的定量估计关系表明,步行上学的人——尤其是独自步行的人——在颗粒层面上表现出更高的环境感知。与那些被驱使的人相比,他们发现建筑环境(社会和物理)的更多消极方面,这表明他们在学校路线上感觉更脆弱。他们还对建筑环境进行了更多的总体观察,表明步行——一种互动的旅行方式——赋予了更强的空间意识。最大限度地发挥心理作用,
