In recent decades, there has been a rise in mental illnesses. Community infrastructures are increasingly acknowledged as important for sustaining good health. Moreover, green spaces anticipated to offer advantages both health and social cohesion. However, the mediating pathway between space, cohesion especially proximity characteristics of that trigger these potential effects remain interest. We gathered data from 1365 individuals on self-reported across four satellite districts European cities: Nantes (France), Porto (Portugal), Sofia (Bulgaria), Høje-Taastrup (Denmark). Green space OpenStreetMap was manually adjusted using PRIGSHARE guidelines. used AID-PRIGSHARE tool generate 7 indicators about measured distances 100-1,500 m, every 100 m. This resulted 105 different variables we tested single mediation model with structural equation modelling. Accessible greenness (900-1,400 m), accessible (900-1,500 corridors (300-800 total (300-800), mix uses (700-1,100 m) were significantly associated indirectly also showed negative indirect direct associations larger distances.

Growing evidence has shown that urban green space (UGS) in neighbourhoods can substantially enhance residents' well-being. This study focuses on the possible inequitable UGS distribution among priority population groups of city-dwellers region Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand. availability was calculated using coverage ratio service area and Overlap/cumulative opportunity. accessibility measured Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area. Bivariate analysis, spatial regression, ordinary least squares estimation, Moran's I were employed to explore potential inequality between groups. The results revealed most deprived tended have more but less accessibility. Children, adolescents elderly likely opportunity choose different visit. Areas with a higher proportion Māori had Pacific populations Neighbourhoods Asian people adds new by contributing regional investigation developed country. inform policy makers planners where how implement which focus prevent further disparities.

Abstract The benefits of green spaces on individuals’ health have been widely acknowledged due to their inherent natural qualities. Currently, university students are experiencing significantly higher levels mental problems than other social groups. There is a scarcity studies examining the association between built environment factors and issues among students, particularly in Chinese context. University campuses China physically isolated, secluded communities, this respect, they differ markedly from spatial organisation patterns Western universities. Therefore, study focuses correlation extent space exposure within closed occurrence resident students. A deep-learning methodology incorporating streetscape images, remote sensing data, multilevel linear modelling employed order facilitate comprehensive analysis. results demonstrate negative campus level Individual socio-demographic characteristics, such as whether person has partner, also found influence that experience. In addition, significant relationship travel issues, with who walked regularly having lower incidence those drove. Our research indicates that, foster healthier communities enhance inclusion, urban planners should prioritise development greener transport services improve accessibility spaces.

Background Urban agriculture has been shown to contribute healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as increased fruit and vegetable intake greater exposure greenspaces there is plenty of evidence linking these behaviors better health wellbeing. However, most relates assessing one behavior at a time despite available epidemiological research showing how the combined effects multiple are associated with This aims examine association interactions between various exposures related urban Methods We used data from UK Biobank baseline questionnaire ( N ~500, 000) assess two (fruit physical activity) greenspace exposure, four wellbeing markers (blood pressure, BMI, self-health assessment, self-reported loneliness) independently, in combination. Associations possible were explored using general linear models (GLMs), adjusted for socio-demographic confounders including age, sex, educational qualifications, index deprivation, ethnicity, confounder: smoking status. Results After removing missing data, well participants who did not meet inclusion criteria, final study sample was n = 204,478.
