Urban renewal programs aim to improve physical and socioeconomic position of neighborhoods. However, due to the intervention's complexity, there is often little evidence of their impact on health and health inequalities. This study aimed to identify the perception of a group of neighborhood residents towards a large-scale urban renewal program in Barcelona and to explore its effects and importance on their wellbeing using concept mapping methodology. Our results indicate that the majority of urban renewal projects within the initiative, including improved walkability, construction of new public spaces and more community programs, have positive and important effects on the overall wellbeing of participants. This study presents an innovative method that diverts from traditional outcome-based evaluations studies often used within this field.
城市更新计划旨在改善社区的物质和社会经济状况。然而,由于干预措施的复杂性,这些计划对健康和健康不平等的影响往往很少有证据。本研究旨在使用概念映射方法确定一组社区居民对巴塞罗那大规模城市更新计划的看法,并探讨其对他们幸福感的影响和重要性。我们的结果表明,该倡议中大多数城市更新项目,包括提高步行便利性、新建公共空间和更多社区项目,对参与者的整体幸福感都有积极而重要的影响。本研究提出了一种创新方法,该方法偏离了该领域常用的传统基于结果的评估研究。
