  22. Columbia U Follow-Up More Complete and Tested Field Manual Rating of 588 Street Segments in NYC Translation to GIS Based System Relationship to BMI

  23. Field Manual

  24. Validation Against Pedestrian Counts

  25. Sampled Street Segments

  26. Dependent Variable

  27. Pedestrian Counts • High Correlation Among Independent Counts • Google Street View (588 cases) • Bing StreetSide (169 cases) • EveryScape (201 cases) • Manual Counts (588 cases) • High Reliability Among Independent Raters • 30 segments • 3 raters

  28. Google Street View 125 East 19th Street, Manhattan – BLOCK ID 128821-S

  29. EveryScape 125 East 19th Street, Manhattan – BLOCK ID 128821-S

  31. Equivalence Reliability

  32. Inter-Rater Reliability

  33. Independent Variables

  34. D Variables Density – Floor Area Ratio Diversity – Entropy based on floor area Design – Intersection Density Destination Accessibility – Walk Score Distance to Transit – Miles to Nearest Transit Line Demographics – Per Capita Income

  35. Walk Score

  36. GIS Layers 1. NYC planning "LION" geodatabase that contains road centerline file, address, borough code, zip etc. 2. NYC_ALR_Blockfaces – this is the dataset that contains the original drawn block-faces with scoring data attached 3. CenterlineDataBuffer – created from street segments and used to capture .25 mile radius of land use (and eventually LU, transit, and SE data) 4. MapPluto – NYC Planning land use data set at parcel level

  37. FAR

  38. Walk Score

  39. Count Distribution
