Abstract
Neighborhood physical disorder (PD), characterized by disruptions and irregularities in spatial elements, is associated with negative economic, social, and public health outcomes. Here, we present a protocol to quantitatively assess PD utilizing a range of metrics. We describe steps for collecting street views, constructing detection models using the YOLOv8 deep learning model, calculating PD scores, and quantifying changes in PD across streets and cites. This protocol serves as a methodological foundation for assessing PD in different countries and regions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chen et al.1.
