Abstract. This study was aimed at evaluating the pedestrian environment walkability from a residential area to a commercial area in Amherst, New York. An audit tool to record data of physical built environment elements was developed and tested. Data collection is integrated taking advantage of geo-spatial technology, so that pedestrian environment characteristics can be presented spatially. In this study, the Pedestrian Environmental Data Scan (PEDS) instrument was adopted to evaluate walkability in pedestrian environments. Thirteen variables were adopted to be used in this study: (1) segment type; (2) land use in the given segment; (3) slope; (4) segment intersection; (5) types of pedestrian facilities; (6) path condition; (7) number of tr...
