We examined associations between specific public open space (POS) attributes and recreational walking to local POS.
Between October 2004 and December 2006, 1465 adults of the RESIDential Environments Project, conducted in Perth, Australia, reported whether they walk to a POS for recreation. For each participant, we identified all open spaces larger than 0.8 hectares within 1.6 kilometers from home. On the basis of field audit data, we created 3 scores (presence, count, size-weighted presence) for 19 specific open space attributes.
With logistic regression analyses, we found that walking to a POS was associated with the presence of gardens, grassed areas, walking paths, water features, wildlife, amenities, dog-related facilities, and off-leash areas for dogs. It was also associated with the highest number of these attributes in a single open space, but not with the total number of attributes in all POSs within 1.6 kilometers of home.
Building 1 high-quality local park may be more effective in promoting recreational walking than is providing many average-quality parks.
我们研究了特定公共开放空间(POS)属性与前往当地POS进行休闲步行之间的关联。
2004年10月至2006年12月期间,在澳大利亚珀斯开展的住宅环境项目中的1465名成年人报告了他们是否步行前往POS进行休闲活动。对于每位参与者,我们确定了距离家1.6公里范围内所有面积大于0.8公顷的开放空间。基于实地审核数据,我们为19种特定开放空间属性创建了3个分数(存在情况、数量、面积加权存在情况)。
通过逻辑回归分析,我们发现步行前往POS与花园、草地、步行道、水景、野生动物、便利设施、与狗相关的设施以及狗的无绳活动区域的存在有关。它还与单个开放空间中这些属性的最高数量有关,但与家1.6公里范围内所有POS中属性的总数无关。
建设1个高质量的当地公园在促进休闲步行方面可能比提供许多质量一般的公园更有效。
