📢 New paper: A participatory mapping approach to capturing perceived walkability
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2024.104133
🖌️ Perceived walkability in Sydney collected by 'spraypainting', because who needs polygons?
🚶 Compared results to a previously published walkability index
🗺️ Method, with comments, can capture rich knowledge about walkable areas and streets, and reveal gaps in walkability models
Last paper out from my PhD, very happy to see it in print.

@jroper @jakecoppinger Wow I can make out Burwood Road as a dimly bright spot
Should I be worried about the coarseness of the source data? Sorry I may be getting confused, but I noticed the survey postcodes map.
@ckent @jakecoppinger Yes - only 50-100 responses, depending on the question, and most of them live in eastern Sydney. I'd love to rerun it with a larger sample (or smaller area eg one LGA) but wanted to get the method out there for now.
I'm in the process of redoing my website to keep the survey open and host ongoing results, but without a lot of effort into distribution I don't think that will get many more.
