Abstract Outdoor jogging is increasingly recognized as a crucial component of urban active transport strategies aimed at improving public health. Despite growing research on the influence both natural and built environmental factors outdoor jogging, less known about relative importance these factors. Moreover, spatial heterogeneity effects remain unclear. Failing to consider varying regarding impact intensity scale results in inefficient planning policies promoting transport. This study addresses gaps by analyzing crowdsourced trajectory data Shenzhen using computational framework that combines Random Forest Variable Importance (RF-VI) Multi-Scale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR). The analysis identifies hierarchical impacts twelve key determinants across different scales. Results reveal are most contributing while density-related environment contribute least. Additionally, vary scale, direction, intensity, with seven variables exerting global five showing localized effects. Notably, central suburban areas display considerable influences. findings inform integrating green infrastructure, mitigating over-dense development, enhancing pedestrian-accessible road networks promote jogging. These insights advocate for context-sensitive balances environments foster healthier mobility.

Outdoor jogging plays a critical role in active mobility and transport-related physical activity (TPA), contributing to both urban health sustainability. While existing studies have primarily focused on participation volumes through survey data, they often overlook the real-time dynamics that shape experiences. This study seeks provide data-driven analysis of volume speed, exploring how environmental factors influence these behaviors. Utilizing dataset over 1000 crowd-sourced trajectories Shenzhen, we spatially linked road-section-level units map distribution average speed. By depicting bivariate behavioral characteristics, identified spatial patterns behavior, elucidating variations A random forest regression model was validated employed capture nonlinear relationships assess differential impacts various The results reveal distinct across city, where is shaped by mixed interplay natural, visual, built environment factors, while speed influenced visual factors. Additionally, highlights effects, particularly identifying threshold beyond which incremental improvements diminishing returns These findings clarify roles influencing offering insights into mobility. Ultimately, this provides data-informed implications for planners seeking create environments support TPA promote lifestyles.

In the post-pandemic era, outdoor jogging has become an increasingly popular form of exercise due to growing emphasis on health. It is essential comprehensively analyze factors influencing spatial distribution activities and propose planning strategies with practical guidance. Using multi-source geospatial big data multiple models, this study constructs a comprehensive analytical framework examine association between environmental variables frequency in Guangzhou. Firstly, trajectory were collected from fitness app, potential selected based perspectives built environment, street perception, natural environment. For example, using street-view imagery, objective elements such as greenery subjective safety perception extracted human-centric perspective. Secondly, included three models: backward stepwise regression, optimal parameters-based geographical detector, geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. These models served, screen significant variables, identify synergistic effects among quantify heterogeneity effects, respectively. Finally, area was clustered results GWR model urban clear positions significance. The indicated following: (1) Factors related environment significantly influence distribution. (2) Public sports facilities, level greenery, identified key activities, representing aspects service (3) Specifically, each factor displayed variation. instance, facilities positively correlated city center. (4) Lastly, divided into four clusters, different local associative characteristics activities. zonal recommendations have implications for planners policymakers aiming create jogging-friendly environments.

ABSTRACT The factor flow network of the rural areal system (RAS) provides an important perspective for understanding its internal synergistic development. Traditional synergy assessment is usually based on space places, a concept focusing size (capacity), rather than flows, connections (flows). In this study, we developed multilayer model describing flows factors such as people, land, and industry in RAS using concept, big data, complex theory, then quantitatively characterized three metrics (balance, order, coupling) used to assess development Pearl River Delta. Our findings showed that local urban–rural across boundaries administrative districts generated high‐level RAS, promoting integration areas into Therefore, strengthening through regional coordinated great significance RAS.

Growing concerns about the negative impacts of high-density built environments on residents’ physical and mental health have made optimizing recreational walking networks in green spaces a crucial issue for improving urban public service efficiency. While previous studies largely focused static accessibility measures, these methods cannot capture actual human behaviors temporal variations space usage. Our research introduces novel social network analysis methodology using GPS trajectory data from Shanghai’s Inner Ring Area to construct compare during workdays rest days, revealing dynamic spatiotemporal patterns that traditional miss. Key findings include: (1) At node level, different sizes play differentiated roles network, with large-scale serving as destination hubs while pocket function critical connecting points; (2) regional workday show more dispersed spatial distribution higher modularity, day form clusters central area; (3) overall demonstrate density diversity, reflecting expanded activity range diverse preferences. Green management should focus value networks. These provide theoretical methodological support transitioning “static equity” “dynamic justice” system planning, contributing development inclusive resilient
