This study examines aspects of neighbourhood social environments (namely, neighbourhood safety, cohesion and connection) and child-specific built environment attributes in relation to children's independent mobility. The results suggest that children aged 8-13 years with parents who perceive their neighbourhood as more cohesive and more connected, and are located closer to school, engaged in higher levels of independently mobile trips. The qualitative component of this research revealed that for NZ European, Māori, Samoan and other Pacific parents, 'people danger' was the most common concern for letting their children go out alone, whereas for Asian and Indian parents, 'traffic danger' was the most common reason for their concern.
本研究考察了邻里社会环境（即邻里安全、凝聚力和联系）和儿童特定的建成环境属性与儿童独立出行能力的关系。结果表明，8-13 岁的儿童，如果其父母认为邻里关系更紧密、联系更紧密，并且距离学校更近，那么他们的独立出行次数就会更高。本研究的定性部分表明，对于新西兰欧洲人、毛利人、萨摩亚人和其他太平洋岛民的父母来说，“人身危险”是让孩子独自外出最常见的担忧，而对于亚洲和印度裔的父母来说，“交通危险”是他们最担心的问题。
