Abstract

This paper reports on a survey of 30 primary schools in a variety of socio-economic neighbourhoods in Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Three indicators were collected and analyzed and a prediction was made that a higher number of walking school children is likely to be found in neighbourhoods with fewer automobiles at home, families with low-income types of occupations and higher numbers of siblings. This study found that there were strong relationships between number of walking school children and these three socio-economic indicators in different neighbourhoods. This finding supports previous results showing that the number of child pedestrians are likely to be higher in the low socio-economic neighbourhoods.
