How much does verticality impact walking distance?
Do people subcontiously start their 400-800m walk radius inside buildings where stairs, ramps or elevator wait times would impact how far someone is willing to walk?
For example if you lived on the 3rd floor of an appartment it's not that much of a hassle to take the stairs, but would it reduce how far you are willing to walk from you appartment to your destination? What about if you lived on the 5th floor and an elevator wasn't an option? What if you lived on the 10th floor and you had to wait for an elavator?
Do stairs, ramps or elavator wait times along the walk have a measurable impact on how far someone is willing to walk?
For example if you get off a bus at the bottom of a steep embank ment and the city has a ramp, stairs and one of those elevators which stick out from the top of the embankment, how far would people be willing to walk after (assuming obviously it isn't 400m of straight stairs/ramp)? is there a study or source about this?
