Personality and walkability: predicting walking behaviour in urban settings using the higher order factors of the big five amongst Malaysian adults

Walkability has now been a popular policy to be adopted in the city centre as traffic congestion and inefficient public transportation have affected the mobility of the urban users prior to the pandemic. The pandemic has paved more efforts to improve the design of urban spaces to increase walkabilit...
