Walkability audit: Spring 2022, Meeting 5,6

Posted by Sutapa Banerjee on February 24, 2022

On Feb 17 and 24, Sarthak and Sutapa met to discuss the scoring system of the General Walkability audit. 

We prepared a comparative list of 2 scoring systems (0-5 scale scores and negative to 5 scale scores). The Transportation dept. group meeting on 24th February has an agenda to finalise our scoring system after discussion.

We have also prepared a spreadsheet with all the results of the survey and formatted it in a way that has questions on each row and one survey per column of the audit. Instead of prioritizing our larger categories of parameters, we decided to assign priorities to each question as High, Medium and Low with weights of x3, x2 and x1 respectively.

Map blocks 9, 10, 14, 22, 23 and 27 have no records yet. Part 2 of Data collection for the same will start in the last week of March when the weather gets pleasant to walk around. A call for volunteers has been made in the SPO meeting on February 23rd, 2022.

Results of Transportation group meeting on 24th February:

1. Scoring system was discussed and finalized

  • Questions are categorized into High, Medium and Low categories. A few questions are marked as Bonus questions with Low priority.
  • 0-5 scoring scale was chosen to represent the options. Negative points were discontinued.
  • Total addition of weighted scores at this stage was 65 points.

2. Mass email to be sent out again to MUP students as a 'Call for Volunteers' next week.

3. Chad and Justin to colour code the categories of the Deficiency reporting surveys in the coming weeks.
