A Comparison Study Between Google Street View and On-Site Visiting to Audit Neighbourhood Environment’s Walkability
As walking for physical activity is associated with significant health benefits, several studies empirically support the role of walkable environments in inducing or hindering of walking. Researchers proposed different methods to measure the level of walkability. Google Street View (GSV) is an instrument able to assess physical features of city streets and environments as well as Site visit and local resident’s perception.
