Perception of parks and trails as mobility facilitators and transportation walking in older adults: a study using digital geographical maps.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the perception of environmental characteristics in the neighbourhood has an influence on older people's transportation choices. Taking environmental measures or informing older adults on their options in the neighbourhood might be possible ways to increase older adults' transportation walking on a population level.
