METHODS: Zoning codes effective as of 2010 representing 3914 US municipalities (45.45% of US population) were evaluated for the presence of ZCR and eight pedestrian-oriented zoning provisions. These data were linked with American Community Survey 2013-2017 and NAVTEQ 2013 data on the outcomes and relevant covariates. Fractional logit regressions were computed with standard errors clustered on county.
RESULTS: Workers from more deprived quintiles were less likely to engage in PTW and ATW (OR = 0.22-0.55, p < 0.01), and tests revealed moderation by zoning (p < 0.05). ZCR was positively associated with PTW for the three most deprived quintiles (OR = 1.53-2.38, p < 0.01), and with ATW for the two most deprived quintiles (OR = 1.42-1.69, p < 0.01) and the second most privileged quintile (OR = 1.26, p < 0.05). In the most privileged quintile, the zoning scale score was negatively associated with PTW (OR = 0.91, p < 0.001) and ATW (OR = 0.94, p < 0.01). However, in the most deprived quintiles, the zoning scale score was positively associated with PTW (Q2: OR = 1.13, p < 0.01) and ATW (Q1-Q2: OR = 1.07-1.09, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Pedestrian-oriented zoning can provide opportunities for ATW in the most deprived communities. Work is needed to explore zoning policy implementation in those communities.
方法:评估了截至2010年,代表3914个美国城市(占美国人口的45.45%)的分区代码是否存在ZCR和8个面向行人的分区规定。这些数据与2013-2017年美国社区调查和NAVTEQ2013年结果和相关协变量的数据相关联。分数logit回归是用县上的标准误差计算的。
结果:来自更贫困的五分之一的工人不太可能从事PTW和ATW(OR=0.22-0.55,p<0.01),测试显示分区适度(p<0.05)。ZCR与PTW呈正相关(OR=1.53-2.38,p<0.01),ATW为两个最贫困的五分位数(OR=1.42-1.69,p<0.01)和第二特权的五分位数(OR=1.26,p<0.05)。在最有特权的五分之一,分区评分与PTW(OR=0.91,p<0.001)和ATW(OR=0.94,p<0.01)呈负相关。然而,在最贫困的五分之一,分区评分与PTW(Q2:OR=1.13,p<0.01)和ATW(Q1-Q2:OR=1.07-1.09,p<0.05)呈正相关。
结论:面向行人的分区可以在最贫困的社区中为ATW提供机会。需要开展工作,探索在这些社区实施分区政策。
