Most studies that focused on walkability and its effects on physical activity use objective and perceived criteria interchangeably despite their different effects on trip behaviors which could produce contradictory findings. Therefore, the interventions aimed at creating walkable environments cannot leave adequate effects on the level of physical activity and walkability. Thus, this article seeks to investigate the concordance of objective and perceived criteria of walkability in three different textures of the city of Babol to measure their effects on the self-reported walkability rate and body mass index. The research uses a combined method and a concurrent parallel plan, selecting 384 people via the random sampling method. Then, the perceived neighborhood environment where people live was examined by users in terms of three components of accessibility, diversity of uses, and street connectivity using the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS). To measure the objective walkability in the Milestone Network, the variables of connectivity, depth, and integration were used to analyze the space syntax, while entropy and number of the uses at an 800-meter radius were used to measure the mixed land use. Then, multi-level logistic regression analysis was used to measure the extent to which objective and perceived criteria of walkability rates and body mass index were related. The findings reveal that discordance between peoples' subjective and objective perceptions of neighborhood units can, to a great extent, explain the difference of the relationship between the environment and walkability rate, as the people's greater subjective understanding of neighborhood with lower connectivity and mixed land use could explain the purposeful walkability and recreational probabilities by 42 % 28%, respectively.
