Summary
The project is to use a custom neighborhood environment walkability scale alongside Walk Score to determine if a neighborhood is walkable for older adults during the pandemic. The purpose is to determine why or why not older adults leave their house to go for walks during the pandemic. The interviewer will ask questions regarding COVID-19 such as safety, and social distancing in the interviewee’s respective neighborhood. The interviewer will also have questions regarding safety from crime, access to services, street design, safety from traffic, places for walking and cycling, and neighborhood surroundings to get a full picture of the neighborhood.
