Résumé
Les études concernant l’association entre les caractéristiques de l’environnement bâti et la pratique d’activité physique ont connu une croissance importante au cours des dernières années. En contexte québécois, à l’exception de l’île de Montréal, il existe peu d’études portant sur les caractéristiques de l’environnement bâti et plus particulièrement sur le potentiel piétonnier et son impact sur la pratique d’activité physique. L’objectif principal de cette recherche est d’exposer le développement d’un indice de potentiel piétonnier des quartiers, pour l’ensemble des régions métropolitaines de recensement (RMR) du Québec. Des analyses multiniveaux ont été réalisées afin de déterminer si le potentiel piétonnier était associé au mode de transport pour aller au travail, pour les individus âgés de 15 ans et plus. Les résultats des analyses montrent que plus le niveau de potentiel piétonnier est élevé, plus la probabilité d’utiliser la marche ou le vélo comme mode de transport pour aller au travail est élevée.

Abstract
Studies on the association between characteristics of the built environment and physical activity have increased significantly in recent years. In the Quebec context, with the exception of the island of Montreal, only a few studies exist on the characteristics of the built environment, particularly as regards this environment’s walkability and its impact on physical activity. The main purpose of our research was to describe the development of a neighborhood walkability index for all census metropolitan areas (CMAs) in Quebec. Multilevel analyses were conducted to examine whether, for individuals aged 15 and over, an association could be observed between the index and travel to work choices. The results show that the higher the level of walkability, the higher the probability that people will choose to walk or cycle when travelling to work.

Resumen
Últimamente hay un gran aumento de los estudios que asocian las características del medio ambiente construido y la práctica de la actividad física. En el contexto quebequense, excepto en la isla de Montreal, son pocos los estudios sobre las características del medio ambiente construido, particularmente sobre el potencial peatonal y su impacto en la práctica de la actividad física. El principal objetivo de este estudio es de exponer el desarrollo de un índice de potencial peatonal de los barrios, para el conjunto de las regiones metropolitanas del censo (RMR), de Quebec. Se realizaron análisis a multinivel para determinar si ese potencial estaría asociado al medio de transporte para ir al trabajo para individuos de 15 años y más de edad. El resultado de los análisis realizados asocia positivamente un alto nivel de potencial peatonal y la probabilidad de caminar o de utilizar la bicicleta para ir al trabajo.
