| Plymouth State University | organization | Durham, NH | $9,496 | Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH entered into an agreement to award Plymouth State University $9,496 to analyze the 2014 STRAVA dataset to develop metrics and decision support tools for evaluating bikability and walkability in New Hampshire. The STRAVA dataset, in conjunction with census demographic data, and data from the NH Department of Transportation and Regional Planning Commissions (RPC), has the potential to be transformed into a spatially explicit decision-support tool for state and local decision-makers. This project will provide an incredibly rich baseline dataset from which the impact of road improvements can be assessed and future HEAL, transportation, and redevelopment efforts can be prioritized, as well as help identify barriers to increased physical activity. Within GIS, model-based tools will be developed to summarize the 2014 STRAVA dataset, compare summary results to 2014 RPC manual counts, analyze spatial patterns in walking and biking and assess their relation | view |
