Abstract Studies that take the coordination of behavior and the environment in the community life circle as the overall goal and reveal the driving influence of the intrinsic attributes of the population are rarely involved. Therefore, this study constructs the theoretical analysis framework and indicator system, carries out empirical analysis. The study found that:1) Frequency, duration, and activity space distance can form important dimensions for evaluating leisure walking level. Accessibility, cleanliness, availability, and safety can describe the quality of activity environment. 2) There are significant differences in the coordination level between leisure walking and activity environments among different individuals. 3) Middle-aged and elderly people, retirees, highly educated people, overweight people and residents with close relationships with neighbors are more likely to achieve a higher level of coordination, while residents with larger family populations and higher individual incomes tend to be at a lower level of coordination. 4) Finally, a governance strategy for the coordination of leisure walking and the activity environment is proposed.
