Neighborhood walkability was measured using a geographic information system and resulted from the weighted sum of residential density, street connectivity, and a destination-based entropy index. The index was categorized into quintiles of increasing walkability.More details here:Ribeiro, I. A., & Hoffimann, E. (2018).
