Three focus groups were held in Valencia and two in Granada with participants who undertook, at least once a week, one short non-shopping trip in any travel mode (were “short trip” is defined as less than 30-45 minutes walking distance). A thematic analysis of the data using the software QSR NVivo was performed after the transcription of the video recordings. Results show that participants perceive more facilitators to walking in Granada than in Valencia, explained by the smaller size of the former city and the driving restriction policy in the city centre of Granada for private cars. The main common barriers to walking in the two cities were: insecurity from crime (absence of people, a poor street lighting or walking along a conflictive are), a high density of traffic lights and walking along large avenues. In the city of Valencia, crossing multilane avenues and large-diameter roundabouts are deterrents to walking. In Granada, very steep streets motivate the use of alternative travel modes.We would like to thank the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for funding the research project PEATON-TRA2011-27415. Furthermore, we would also like to thank the participants in the study, Pablo García-Garcés for his assistance with the focus groups, Rocío de Oña and José Luis Machado for their help to organize the focus groups in Granada, and Lidón Mars for her help in conducting focus groups.Editorial Universitat Politècnica de ValènciaDepartamento de Ingeniería e Infraestructura de los TransportesInstituto del Transporte y TerritorioEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y PuertosMinisterio de Ciencia e InnovaciónRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20162016-06-01book parthttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/98284reponame:RiuNet.
