Walkability is a well-known count of how conducive an area is to walking to and from chosen destinations. Calculationof a walk score is widely used in accessibility studies to determine the ease or difficulty of travel by foot between onepoint and another. In recent years there has been a renewed emphasis toward improving pedestrian facilities andoperational characteristics to help reduce, congestion, improve safety and improve to populous’ general quality of life.Walkability provides a foundation for a sustainable city. Walkability increase the physical activity and show that healthis improving of people due to physical activity. Neighborhood walkability has been associated with physical activity inseveral studies. However, as environmental correlates of physical activity may be context specific, walkabilityparameters need to be investigated separately in various countries and contexts. Furthermore, the mechanisms by whichwalkability affects physical activity have been less investigated.
