Exposure Ecology Drives a Unified Understanding of the Nexus of (Urban) Natural Ecosystem, Ecological Exposure, and Health

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The intersection of ecology and exposure science with health concerns has led to a gradual infiltration these disciplines. Exposure (urban) natural ecosystems, defined as ecological exposure, proven be substantially beneficial health, providing more effective preventive measures than dealing downstream consequences the disease. Besides, eco-environment & field have shifted its paradigm from focusing on negative environmental exploring positive benefits exposure. However, unified framework that integrates nexus ecosystem, is still lacking. To address challenges, here, we propose new (discipline), (EE), reviewed relevant studies. We suggest domain scope EE include subject-reality, object-reality, subject-virtual, object-virtual dimensions all previous studies can covered within this coordinate frame. analyze trends shortcomings each explain pathways including reduction, restoration, promotion capacity, potential harm. Furthermore, discuss theoretical basis for formation EE, well EE-derived hypotheses, implications, connections other related fields. In short, EE-driven holistic critical review enhances our understanding frontier topic substantially, it serve realizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Global disparities in urban green space use during the COVID-19 pandemic from a systematic review

Nature Cities, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1(2), P. 136 - 149

Published: Jan. 18, 2024

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted urban resilience and challenged the use of green space (UGS). Previous studies lack consensus on whether UGS increased or decreased during after lockdowns how this related to policy, economic conditions types. In a systematic review, we screened >3,000 articles in 5 languages, identifying 177 changes 60 countries. cities studied show diverging use. Generally, decreases occurred where policies were stricter gross domestic product per capita was lower, including most few areas Global South. All private gardens 60% forests other natural showed increases, while 77% conducted public parks indicated global disparity exacerbated pandemic, demonstrating need enhance infrastructure for healthy extend it beyond parks.

Urban green space and mental health among people living alone: The mediating roles of relational and collective restoration in an 18-country sample

Environmental Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 232, P. 116324 - 116324

Published: June 11, 2023

Rates of living alone, especially in more urbanised areas, are increasing across many industrialised countries, with associated increases feelings loneliness and poorer mental health. Recent studies have suggested that access to nature (e.g. parks green spaces) can reduce the stressors loneliness, partly through providing opportunities nurture personal relationships (relational restoration) engage normative community activities (collective restoration). Such associations might vary different household compositions socio-demographic or geographical characteristics, but these not been thoroughly tested. Using data collected 18 countries/territories 2017-2018, we grouped urban respondents into those alone (n = 2062) a partner 6218). multigroup path modelling, tested whether between neighbourhood greenspace coverage (1-km-buffer from home) health sequentially mediated by: (a) visits greenspace; subsequently (b) relationship and/or satisfaction, as operationalisations relational collective restoration, respectively. We also any indirect varied among subgroups alone. Analyses showed visiting space was greater well-being marginally lower odds using anxiety/depression medication use indirectly, via both satisfaction. These were equally strong partner. Neighbourhood was, additionally, partner, whereas this sensitive metric. Within people few overall differences found. Some pathways were, nevertheless, stronger males, under 60-year-olds, no financial strain, residents warmer climates. In conclusion, supporting well frequently their local greenspaces could help improve promoting restoration.

Examining activity-friendly neighborhoods in the Norwegian context: green space and walkability in relation to physical activity and the moderating role of perceived safety

BMC Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(1)

Published: Feb. 6, 2023

Abstract Background Despite the well-known health benefits of regular physical activity, inactivity remains a major public concern. Understanding how built environment can encourage activity is therefore important to inform current policy strategies for creating activity-friendly neighborhoods. This study aimed examine whether neighborhood walkability and greenness were associated with if perceived safety moderated any such relations, among adult citizens in Norway. Methods cross-sectional included sample 5670 adults aged ≥ 18 years living urban areas Stavanger. Information on (PA) levels, safety, socio-demography obtained from questionnaire data collected Norwegian county survey Rogaland. Geographic information systems utilized compute walkability, vegetation scores proportion green space within postcode areas, which subsequently linked data. Hierarchical linear regression models fitted associations between amount vegetation, weekly minutes PA, estimate main interaction effects these relationships. Results The average physically active 148.3 min/week. was positively related when adjusting potential confounders. No relations observed walkability. Perceived significantly increased levels but no moderating role observed. Conclusion Although our findings should be interpreted caution, results point towards importance policymakers, planners, professionals advocate safe environments neighborhood.
