| Abstract | Walking can be classified as one of the attainable and accessible physical activities. It is a physical activity for both recreation and transport. The need to walk as transportation becomes imperative hence the enjoyment of the activity is also developed. There is a growing collaboration between public health and urban planning. Perceived environmental factors influenced the association to walk both for transport and recreation. The paper aimed to determine the correlation between transportation and recreational walking purposes through the perceived environment of the neighborhood (PENS) survey analysis through the association of the undergraduate college students perceived environmental factors for walking in recreation and transportation in the campus neighborhood. Participants were produced through convenience sampling that focused on the undergraduate students rented bed spaces or dorms within the university grounds from a government funded university located in Quezon City. Findings of the study showed that the perceived environmental factors in safety from traffic, street connectivity, infrastructure, destination, and aesthetic were significantly agreeable in the campus neighborhood. The results for walking in recreation generated that the most agreeable factors were aesthetic and destination (both at 96.59%) while street connectivity (96.59%) and destination (93.18%) in the campus grounds were the most agreeable perceived environmental factors in walking for transportation. Correlation analysis found that there was a moderate to weak positive correlation (|r| = .402 to .329) between the environmental factor’s perception but there is a significant statistical relationship between the two walking behaviors (p < 0.01). Differences still existed between the perceived environmental factors in both walking behaviors which indicated that further exploration of the conceptualization and research instrument could provide a more substantial illustration of the envi |
