In recent decades, many studies investigated the influencing factors on walking. Although there are lots of finding about these factors, only a few of them conducted to differentiate between short and long walking trips and their associated influencing factors. Current research investigates the impact of the influencing factors on the share of short. To do so, in the first step a proxy between short and long walking trip had been recognized. In this regard, indices mentioned in the literature review are derived from a transportation network database and land use data. According to the results, density in both trip generation sides in short trips is significant. Models are able to describe variation in share of walking up to 0.277 in short return to home walking trips.
