Data for this study were from a population survey of 1,200 adults ages 40-60 years, sampled from the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Questionnaire items on perceptions of the environment were factor analyzed into: Aesthetic Environment and Practical Environment. For both factors, those in the Contemplation stage had more negative views of the environment than those in Maintenance. Those who walked for 0-20 min/week held more negative perceptions of their environment than those who walked for 21-120 min/week and those who walked for > 120 min/week. The health promotion implications of these findings are that environments perceived as attractive and as providing convenient access to services and facilities may influence motivational readiness for physical activity and time spent walking.
本研究的数据来自对1200名年龄在40至60岁之间的成年人进行的一项人口调查，这些成年人是从新南威尔士州伊拉瓦拉地区抽取的样本。关于环境感知的问卷调查项目经过因子分析后分为：审美环境和实用环境。对于这两个因子，处于沉思阶段的人对环境的看法比处于维持阶段的人更为负面。每周步行0至20分钟的人对其环境的看法比每周步行21至120分钟的人和每周步行超过120分钟的人更为负面。这些研究结果对健康促进的启示是，被认为具有吸引力且能方便获取服务和设施的环境可能会影响身体活动的动机准备和步行时间。
