Abstract:
presents a successful community-based assessment of pedestrian behaviors and attitudes in three Maryland communities. Its methods, primarily using surveys and not diaries, integrated trip related walking with walking for health and recreation. The Partnership for a Walkable America derived surveys were eschewed for one of the researchers’ own design. The paper focuses on the community aspect of the collection of data, not the survey. Planners may wish to contact the researchers to learn more about both the survey and methodology before trying to replicate the process.
