Evidence for the benefits of walking has attracted attention researchers and practitioners encouraged them to develop healthier more sustainable walkable cities. Many methods approaches have been developed measure walkability; namely, by using land use attributes. This paper examines transferability Geographic Information System (GIS) based multi-criteria method in Smart Pedestrian Net (SPN) re...
