In this article, an empirical analysis of the residential development patterns illustrates that accessibility and the availability of vacant developable land can be used as the basis of a residential land use model.Abstract:
An empirical examination of the residential development patterns illustrates that accessibility and the availability of vacant developable land can be used as the basis of a residential land use model. The author presents an operational definition and suggests a method for determining accessibility patterns within metropolitan areas. This is a process of distributing forecasted metropolitan population to small areas within the metropolitan region. Although the model presented is not yet sufficiently well refined for estimating purposes, the concept and the approach may be potentially useful tools for metropolitan planning purposes.read more

The relative influence of individual, social and physical environment determinants of physical activity.
TL;DR: The results suggest that access to a supportive physical environment is necessary, but may be insufficient to increase recommended levels of physical activity in the community, and that greater emphasis be placed on creating streetscapes that enhance walking for recreation and transport.
