摘要: Previous research has suggested that pedestrian accidents are concentrated in some road segments with certain built-environment characteristics, such as areas with denser population, more public transit stops, and higher proportions of people taking public transits to work. Our previous study has corroborated these results as most common places of elderly pedestrian accidents in Sweden were in street or road segment then followed by pedestrian/bicycle path, sidewalk and then road intersection� often affected by environment conditions such as "icy and slippery streets" or with "uneven surfaces'. Yet, we know little about the surrounding built-environments in which these accidents happen (e.g. topography, land use, services supply). The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of built environment on pedestrian elderly falls, focus is given to the most common types of falls. This objective is achieved by: (a) to conduct an environmental audit using Google street maps to provide a qualitative assessment of the built environment within each hotspot. (b) Model the number of accidents by street segments as a function of the built environment of the area (negative binomial models are used to assess the influence of the built environment partitioned into short road segments on accidents). With this study we expect to identify the types of environments that are less suited for the less mobile individuals in society, such as the elderly. We argue that only through such a detailed and comprehensive analysis we are able to propose suggestions for prevention that are accident specific (time and place specific), that can improve security for the elderly. Modest interventions to the built environment may result in meaningful reductions in the risk of pedestrian injuries.
