The built environment assessment tool manual

This manual explains the importance of understanding and measuring the built environment and provides a tool for doing so.

The Built Environment Assessment Tool (BE Tool) measures the core features and qualities of the built environment that affect health, especially walking, biking, and other types of physical activity. The core features assessed in the BE Tool include:

• Built environment infrastructure - such as road types, curb cuts and ramps, intersections and crosswalks, traffic control, and public transportation.
• Walkability - for example, access to safe, attractive sidewalks and paths with inviting features.
• Bikeability - such as the presence of bike lane or bike path features.
• Recreational sites and structures.
• Food environment - such as access to grocery stores, convenience stores, and farmers markets.

Users can add questions or modules if more detail about an aspect of the built environment is desired (e.g. nutrition environment or pedestrian environment).
