ABSTRACT

We conduct a systematic scoping review of the academic literature concerning pedestrian accessibility. We distinguish “walking accessibility” from the broader topic of “walkability” by two criteria: papers must consider one or more destination type(s), and papers must address the issue of distance or impedance. After searching Web of Science, TRID, and Google Scholar databases and conducting screening, we identify 85 papers meeting these criteria. We organise the literature review according to the four components of accessibility identified by Geurs and van Wee [(2004). Accessibility evaluation of land-use and transport strategies: Review and research directions. Journal of Transport Geography, 12(2), 127–140]: (1) Land use; (2) transport; (3) temporal; and (4) individual and also add a section on the topic of impedance. Walking accessibility studies address a much greater range of land uses or destination types than is typically found for other modes. The transportation component is relatively undeveloped, as pedestrian infrastructure includes many influential elements not currently tracked in GIS systems. Few studies address the temporal component of walk accessibility, which varies according to climatic and nighttime conditions. Most papers do not account for the significant variation across individual capabilities and preferences regarding walking. We note that developing detailed pedestrian networks is a key first step, as most published analysis is conducted on roadway networks. A second major recommendation is to consider individual variations in walk accessibility across demographic classifications, accounting for varying levels of physical mobility.

摘要

我们对有关行人可达性的学术文献进行了系统的范围审查。我们通过两个标准将“步行可达性”与更广泛的“步行性”主题区分开来：论文必须考虑一种或多种目的地类型，并且论文必须解决距离或阻抗问题。在搜索 Web of Science、TRID 和 Google Scholar 数据库并进行筛选后，我们确定了 85 篇符合这些标准的论文。我们根据 Geurs 和 van Wee [(2004) 确定的可访问性的四个组成部分来组织文献综述。土地利用和交通战略的可达性评价：回顾和研究方向。交通地理杂志，12（2），127-140]：（1）土地利用；（二）运输；(3) 时间；(4) 单独的，还添加了有关阻抗主题的部分。与其他模式相比，步行可达性研究涉及的土地利用或目的地类型范围更广。交通部分相对不发达，因为步行基础设施包括许多目前未在 GIS 系统中跟踪的有影响力的元素。很少有研究涉及步行可达性的时间组成部分，该组成部分根据气候和夜间条件而变化。大多数论文没有考虑到步行方面个人能力和偏好的显着差异。我们注意到，开发详细的行人网络是关键的第一步，因为大多数已发表的分析都是针对道路网络进行的。
