Abstract

<p>In this study, the authors analyze Walkability Index (WI), calculated using the geographical information system, and the amount of walking activity before and after the improvement of walking space by using questionnaire data. The authors aim to clarify the structure of the WI changes by the improvement of walking space and the appropriate framework for analyzing walking activity in the two periods. Through the analysis on the change of the road network around Kusatsu River park in Shiga Prefecture, the authors demonstrate that: (1) The changes of service areas around residences due to the improvement of walking space brought the changes of values of each geographical environment variable composing WI. (2) As for the analytical framework of logistic regression analysis, walking activity should be dealt with as walking time and how to determine the threshold value to evaluate presence of walking should be depend on a purpose of walking.</p>
