This study focuses on the relationship between outdoor environment and usage behavior of open spaces in cities with snowy cold climates (winter cities), using an survey conducted at AKAPURA Plaza Sapporo, Japan. seeks to understand walking staying behaviors analyzes their relationships environments. An analysis data shows that while number pedestrians AKAPLA decreased as temperatures dropped, ratio did not decrease despite dropping temperatures. identified following three design principles can be applied encourage urban during winter. In winter, decreases correlation temperature; however, season, encouraged by providing areas less snow (PATH). Partially snow-covered photography play (STORAGE). Finally, routes (APPROACH). These were established based Sapporo have potential widely other winter across world through future research analysis.

Physical inactivity poses a significant public health challenge. Numerous studies have argued that urban parks can promote physical activity (PA). However, evidence of observed over long periods time in is still very lacking. Our serial cross-sectional study within Shanghai investigated seasonal and daily variations PA. Employing geographically temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model, we established spatiotemporal relationships between park characteristics PA levels. We found (1) Highest levels occur winter, while the lowest are summer, with V-shaped pattern. (2) Robust associations specific levels, other exhibited varying different temporal spatial contexts. These insights offer valuable guidance for planners designers aiming to create more active sustainable environments.
