Empirical Evidence from Northern CaliforniaSusan HandyUni Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern CaliforniaiaABSTRACTSuburban sprawl is increasingly being blamed for growing levels of obesity in the U.S. The logic is simple: low-density, segregated-use suburbs are designed for driving rather than walking, leading people to drive more and walk less, thereby contributing to a decline in physical activity a Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern Californiand an increase in weight. The available evidence is less than conclusive, however: studies have established correlations between the built environmentDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California
and walking but not a causal relationship. Researchers are now debating the role of “self-selection” in explaining the observed correlations: do resiDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior? Empirical Evidence from Northern CaliforniaSusan HandyUni Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern Californiaornia, this paper presents new evidence on the possibility of a causal relationship between the built environment and walking behavior. This work makes two improvements on most previous studies: the incorporation of travel attitudes and neighborhood preferences into the analysis of walking behavior, Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California and the use of a quasi-longitudinal design to test the relationship between changes in the built environment and changes in walking. In both analysesDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California
, the results show that the built environment has an impact on walking behavior even after attitudes and preferences have been accounted for.ii1.

Indeed, recent studies show small but statistically significant correlations between suburban sprawl and obesity (McCann and Ewing 2Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California
003) and between time spent driving and obesity (Frank, et al. 2004). rhe solution is therefore also apparently simple: design suburbs for walking ratDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior? Empirical Evidence from Northern CaliforniaSusan HandyUni Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern Californiaidence at first glance is persuasive but on closer examination is less than conclusive. Studies have by now established a correlation between the built environment and walking behavior: residents of “walkable” neighborhoods walk more than residents of “non-walkable” neighborhoods (Saelens, el al. 20 Does Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California03). But as any g(X)d texllxjok on research methods reminds US, correlation docs not necessarily mean causality': a correlation between die built enviDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior Empirical Evidence from Northern California
ronment and walking behavior does not mean that a change in the built environment will lead to a change in walking behavior. In particular, researcherDoes Self-Selection Explain the Relationship Between Built Environment and Walking Behavior?
