“…There are numerous variables that determine whether a given area is pedestrian-friendly (Southworth, 1997;Shriver, 1997), as well as methods and approaches for measuring pedestrian-friendliness (Manzolli et al, 2021;Taleai, Amiri, 2017). Distefano et al (2023), in their research, list 25 factors conducive to walkability.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) results can be significantly influenced by ethical management. Design/methodology/approach: There is combined in the paper the research analysis and narrative approach. The social side of ethical management was explored by looking at the history of these companies, focusing on the unethical practices they had to deal with. Findings: As a result of the research performed it became apparent that ethical management is more than just a theory. It affects how businesses interact with staff, comply with legal requirements, safeguard whistleblowers, and evaluate their ethical performance. Research limitations/implications:There are some limitations of the investigation. Deeper research need to be conducted to fully capture the diversity of organizational contexts and industries to understand in what way ethical management can impact their CSR strategy. Practical implications: Implementing these results to the real world means that ethical management is more than a slogan used by businesses. It's about establishing ethically conscious workplaces, encouraging values, and, in the end, influencing how companies interact with society. Originality/value: The personal perspective that was brought to the frequently theoretical field of ethical management sets these investigation apart. The goal was to provide insights that will benefit both academics and individuals navigating the challenges of ethical leadership in the real world by combining research with true stories.

“…based on SLR methods such as space syntax (Yuan et al, 2022;Zaleckis et al, 2022), GIS (e.g., Zaleckis et al, 2022), empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK), urban network analysis (UNA) (Yang et al, 2022), QGIS (Manzolli et al, 2021;Santilli et al, 2021), machine learning technique (e.g., deep learning (DL) (Yuan et al, 2022) and virtual reality (VR) (Nakamura, 2021). Furthermore, physical audit data collection includes an established instrument including the walkability index (Kwon and Akar, 2022), Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS) (Herbolsheimer et al, 2021), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Hsieh and Chuang, 2021) and personal activity such as the daily travel data (Kwon and Akar, 2022).…”

PurposeThis study intends to analyze the trend of walkability research over two years (2021–2022) in several aspects, including the research problem, gap and aim underlying walkability issues, research setting, the scale of analysis, the type of data, the data collection tool, the analysis method and contribution.Design/methodology/approachPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is employed to conduct a systematic literature review from three leading databases including Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Sage.FindingsFrom the review, it can be concluded that the research focuses on two aspects, namely, the built environment and people. The studies in this field are conducted at different scales of the built environment, from macroscale to microscale, including region, city, neighborhood and street-level studies that are conducted around the world including Asia, Europe and America which receive high attention from researchers. Meanwhile, the study of walkability in Australia and Africa gains less attention. It is revealed that there are four factors of walkability including land use and accessibility for macroscale which cover region, city and neighborhood, while street network and pedestrian infrastructure and facility are mainly analyzed for street-level. Most of the studies widely utilize a quantitative approach for analyzing physical walkability factors in a measurement-based approach by using certain tools/software, and a perception-based approach by using questionnaires.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings can assist to keep up with the rapid pace of scientific publications and help accelerate the understanding of particular ideas in the field of walkability for the planning and design practice and policy that can be used by researchers/academia, urban designers, urban planners, architects, engineers and policymakers. Also, this study hopefully could assist further research direction for the future and could add value to a more advanced way of understanding the research on walkability.Originality/valueThis research provides a robust framework for walkability trend analysis and a comprehensive understanding of the main ideas from the existing research on walkability worldwide.

“…Ruiz-Padillo et al (2018) use a similar approach to quantifying urban environment characteristics. In these cases, as well as in Manzolli et al (2021) there is a significant focus on multicriteria evaluation approaches. In all these cases the need of including more variables has damaged simplicity and comprehensiveness.…”

Sustainable mobility has been considered key in the pursuit of sustainable development in urban environments. During the last decades, a lot of innovative initiatives have been proposed and examined, most of them were site-specific and highly relevant to the local context. This case study review focuses on Nicosia, a car oriented, medium sized city, and attempts to define an intermodal walkability index for the city center. In a city like Nicosia where more than 90% of the daily trips are done completely by car, encouraging intermodal mobility with walking as part of the trip is an important first step to sustainable mobility. The aim of the paper is to present a model based upon the most impactful sustainability indicators when referring to pedestrian mobility, and therefore will create an intermodal walkability index for grading the walkability of an urban environment, in our case a particular, car-oriented one. The index was developed by using the latest version of pyQGIS, due to the fact that the algorithms that are being used in the calculation of this index are already part of the geospatial analysis toolbox contained within QGIS. The paper uses as a case study the municipality of Nicosia in Cyprus where it was proven that pedestrian transportation can be graded in terms of walkability from the private car drop point. The study has also discovered that the use of primary electricity generation and fossil fuels for transport can be reduced if problematic areas that have a low or negative sustainability score are managed in ways that will increase the score.
