- Abstract
The current measuring methods of walkability, such as the walk score,consider that walking distance decay laws for all amenities are the same, which is not applicable to typical communities in China with plentiful resources. Therefore, the walking distance decay laws of multi-type and multi-scale facilities are studied. Firstly, based on the residents' amenity selection survey, the walking distance decay law of residents' choice of amenity was studied from three aspects,including the law of all amenities, the laws of different types of amenities and the laws of different scales of amenities. It was proved that the walking distance decay laws of different kinds of amenities showed a significant difference. Secondly, different amenities' acceptable walking distance and optimum walking distance were obtained according to previous studies and the decay curve. Amenities with higher attraction and/or a larger scale showed a longer acceptable walking distance and optimum walking distance. Finally, the binary logistic model was used to describe the relationships between walking distance, amenity type, amenity scale and the probability of one amenity being selected, the prediction accuracy of which reached 80.4%, The calculated probability obtained from the model can be used as the decay coefficient of amenities in the measurement of walkability, providing a reference for the site selection and evaluation of amenities.
