With the acceleration of urbanization, accessibility and equity urban green spaces have become crucial issues in planning public health. In context 15-min living circle, whether residents can conveniently reach parks within a walkable or bikeable time frame directly impacts their quality life social well-being. Traditional park evaluation methods, such as G2SFCA, effectively measure but fail to fully account for diversity travel modes impact regional disparities on equity. This study employs TB-G2SFCA method, integrating concept analyze Dianchi Lake ring area Kunming under different modes. The findings reveal significant walking cycling, particularly suburban communities distant from city center, where many areas cannot 15 min. Although improves driving transit modes, resources remain concentrated well-connected areas, leaving peripheral regions with insufficient access. Compared traditional G2SFCA approach more accurately reflects spatial differences across suggests that future should optimize resource allocation, improve transportation networks, enhance areas—especially cycling—to achieve equitable sustainable distribution spaces.

Development of a Built Environment–Self-Efficacy–Activity Engagement–Self-Rated Health Model for Older Adults in Urban Residential Areas

Buildings, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(10), P. 1660 - 1660

The aging population has posed significant challenges to the built environment (BE) in urban residential areas, particularly addressing older adults’ activity and health needs. Understanding how BE influences is crucial for promoting active healthy aging. This study explored interactions among BE, self-efficacy (SE), engagement (AE), self-rated (SH) adults areas. A random sampling technique selected 372 residing areas participate questionnaire survey. Spearman correlation hierarchical regression analysis were used develop BE-SE-AE-SH model people based on social cognitive theory. Accessibility, land use mix, street connectivity affect by influencing persons’ walking self-care abilities. Land mix discourages ability engagement, while esthetics encourages engagement. connectivity, transportation, ability, enhance health. Practical recommendations age-friendly include following: (1) optimize elevators footpaths; (2) decentralize small businesses create multi-use parking; (3) shorten crossings pavements; (4) add natural humanistic elements; (5) limit car speed install traffic signals.
