Introduction

The 15-min city is a recently developed urban planning concept that promotes sustainable development by enhancing urban equity in access to essential services and supporting community physical and mental health by encouraging active mobility and outdoor activities. Aiming to explore spatial equity and accessibility, this study investigates the integration of population preferences into the 15-min city across the historic city of Yazd. The findings inform regeneration strategies of sustainable development tailored to population preferences and provide a pathway towards a healthy community.

Methods

This study evaluates the accessibility index for essential urban opportunities, including healthcare, education, recreation, public services, and administrative/police centers, within a 15-min walking distance at the block level. The 15-min city indexes were subsequently calculated based on these opportunities, adjusting to reflect local preferences for each urban service.

Results

The findings reveal that the distribution of 15-min city indexes and their sub-indices in Yazd City is spatially clustered, primarily concentrated around the city center and limited access in the outskirts, highlighting inequalities within the urban fabric. Furthermore, density-related analyses indicate no correlation between neighborhood-level density and the 15-min city index, highlighting no proximity between amenities and population density.

Conclusions

These results emphasize the need for targeted urban planning interventions to enhance accessibility in the outskirts to achieve a more equitable and healthy community. By focusing on localized needs and patterns, this study provides a framework for targeted urban planning interventions, contributing to the development of sustainable and inclusive neighborhoods in Yazd City and beyond.

15分钟城市是最近提出的一个城市规划概念，通过加强城市在获得基本服务方面的公平性，并通过鼓励积极的流动性和户外活动来支持社区身心健康，从而促进可持续发展。为了探索空间公平性和可达性，本研究考察了人口偏好在亚兹德历史名城15分钟城市中的整合。研究结果为适应人口偏好的可持续发展再生战略提供了信息，并为建立健康社区提供了途径。方法本研究对街区步行15分钟内的医疗、教育、娱乐、公共服务和行政/警察中心等基本城市机会的可达性指数进行了评价。随后，根据这些机会计算出15分钟城市指数，并根据当地对每个城市服务的偏好进行调整。结果亚兹德市15分钟城市指数及其分项指数在空间上呈集群分布，主要集中在城市中心周围，郊区通道有限，城市结构内部的不均衡性突出。此外，与密度相关的分析表明，社区水平密度与15分钟城市指数之间没有相关性，强调了便利设施与人口密度之间没有接近性。这些结果强调了有针对性的城市规划干预措施的必要性，以提高郊区的可达性，实现更公平和健康的社区。通过关注当地的需求和模式，本研究为有针对性的城市规划干预提供了一个框架，有助于亚兹德市及其他地区可持续和包容性社区的发展。

Introduction

Understanding older people's mobility patterns and out-of-home activities is crucial for promoting their independence, active ageing and well-being. This study leverages mobility motif analysis to identify recurring travel patterns among older people and investigate how they are associated with out-of-home activity profiles.

Method

We collected continuous 12 weeks of mobility data using a smartphone Track and Trace app on 9147 journeys made by 43 participants (3612 person-days) aged 55 and above in the West Midlands Combined Authority, UK. To address self-selection and low participation rates, we matched participants with national survey data based on out-of-home activity profiles. Using network analysis, we identified distinct mobility motifs within daily travel networks.

Results

A total of 106 distinct mobility motifs were identified, with 19 key motifs representing the most recurring travel patterns, collectively accounting for 92.2 % of all daily travel networks. The distribution revealed high consistency with group profiles. Further analysis revealed inter-group variations in travel frequency, mode use, motif types, and journey purposes among the three groups.

Conclusion

These findings provide evidence-based insights for developing age-friendly urban systems and targeted interventions to enhance mobility inclusivity among older populations. The identified motifs reveal diversity in older people's travel behaviours and highlight the need for addressing mobility barriers to promote active and socially connected lifestyles, enhancing their well-being and quality of life.

了解老年人的活动模式和户外活动对于促进他们的独立、积极老龄化和健康至关重要。本研究利用流动性基序分析来确定老年人的重复旅行模式，并调查它们与户外活动概况的关系。我们使用智能手机Track and Trace应用程序收集了英国西米德兰兹联合管理局55岁及以上的43名参与者（3612人日）的9147次旅行的连续12周的移动数据。为了解决自我选择和低参与率的问题，我们将参与者与基于户外活动概况的全国调查数据相匹配。通过网络分析，我们确定了日常出行网络中不同的移动性主题。结果共识别出106个不同的出行动机，其中19个是最常见的出行模式，占所有日常出行网络的92.2%。其分布与群体特征具有较高的一致性。进一步的分析揭示了三个群体在旅行频率、模式使用、主题类型和旅行目的方面的群体间差异。这些研究结果为开发老年人友好型城市系统和有针对性的干预措施以增强老年人流动包容性提供了基于证据的见解。已确定的主题揭示了老年人出行行为的多样性，强调了解决流动性障碍的必要性，以促进积极和社会联系的生活方式，提高老年人的福祉和生活质量。

Objective

We examined whether transportation needs of Homeless Experienced Veterans (HEV) were associated with healthcare needs.

Method

This study conducted secondary analysis of data from the 2022 CHALENG survey, a national cross-sectional survey of currently homeless and formerly homeless Veterans (n = 1992) on various needs related to clinical and social determinants of health domains. The association between transportation and healthcare needs was evaluated through a two-phase hierarchical logistic regression (95 % confidence).

Findings

HEVs who reported getting their transportation needs met exhibited high odds ratios of meeting their health needs across primary care [OR: 13.94, p < 0.001], behavioral health [OR: 7.33, p < 0.001], dental care [OR: 5.91, p < 0.001], hygiene care [OR: 6.84, p < 0.001], and eye care [OR: 6.14, p < 0.001] relative to HEVs who did not get their transportation needs met. However, Veterans with 1 or more dependents under 18 living with them had lower odds of meeting their needs in primary care [OR: 0.51, p = 0.009] and behavioral health [OR: 0.46, p = 0.005]. Further, HEVs who reported having their housing at risk in any way also had reduced odds of meeting their health needs such as behavioral health [OR: 0.51, p = 0.002]. Notably, dental needs were an unmet need, with only 30.4 % of HEVs meeting their needs compared to behavioral health (80.3 %) and primary care (75.6 %).

Conclusion

Although transportation is a predictor of health needs for HEVs, housing risk and the increased burden of caring for dependents may reduce the likelihood of Veterans not meeting their health needs. Future research is needed to explore the ways Veterans get their dental needs met and to examine how having dependents may affect access to healthcare.

目的探讨流浪退伍军人（HEV）的交通需求是否与医疗保健需求相关。本研究对2022年CHALENG调查的数据进行了二次分析，这是一项针对目前无家可归和曾经无家可归的退伍军人（n = 1992）的全国性横断面调查，涉及与健康领域的临床和社会决定因素相关的各种需求。通过两阶段层次逻辑回归（95%置信度）评估交通和医疗保健需求之间的关联。结果发现，与交通需求未得到满足的hev相比，交通需求得到满足的hev在初级保健[OR: 13.94, p <； 0.001]、行为健康[OR: 7.33, p <； 0.001]、牙科保健[OR: 5.91, p <； 0.001]、卫生保健[OR: 6.84, p <； 0.001]和眼科保健[OR: 6.14, p <； 0.001]方面的健康需求得到满足的优势比较高。然而，与1名或更多18岁以下的家属一起生活的退伍军人在初级保健和行为健康方面满足需求的几率较低[or: 0.51, p = 0.009]。此外，报告住房存在任何风险的hev也降低了满足其健康需求（如行为健康）的几率[OR: 0.51, p = 0.002]。值得注意的是，牙科需求是一个未满足的需求，只有30.4%的hev满足了他们的需求，而行为健康（80.3%）和初级保健（75.6%）则满足了他们的需求。结论虽然交通是hev健康需求的预测因子，但住房风险和照顾家属负担的增加可能会降低退伍军人不满足其健康需求的可能性。未来的研究需要探索退伍军人满足牙科需求的方式，并研究有家属如何影响获得医疗保健。

Objectives

To analyze injuries associated with electric scooter use in Malaga and assess the impact of recent traffic regulations, specifically the shift of electric scooters from sidewalks to streets with a speed limit of 25 km/h.

Methods

Retrospective descriptive study of patients attending the emergency department of the Regional University Hospital of Malaga due to electric scooter injuries between January 2018 and December 2022. The study cohort was divided into pre- and post-regulation periods, using January 2021 as the index date.

Results

A total of 404 patients were included. Most injuries affected the upper extremities, head and neck, face, and lower extremities. After the regulation, pedestrian collisions decreased (10.9 % → 5.2 %; p = 0.039), while collisions with cars increased (8.8 % → 18 %; p = 0.016). Injury severity and fracture locations remained similar before and after the regulation. Alcohol consumption and nighttime riding were associated with higher odds of moderate to severe injuries.

Conclusions

The number of electric scooter-related accidents has increased over the years. Shifting electric scooters from sidewalks to streets reduces pedestrian collisions but increases exposure to motor vehicles, highlighting a key policy trade-off. Most injuries involve the head and facial bones, supporting helmet use. These findings provide evidence to inform future preventive measures and regulatory strategies.

目的分析马拉加与电动滑板车使用相关的伤害，并评估最近交通法规的影响，特别是电动滑板车从人行道转向限速为25公里/小时的街道。方法回顾性描述性研究2018年1月至2022年12月马拉加地区大学医院急诊部因电动滑板车受伤的患者。研究队列分为监管前和监管后两个阶段，以2021年1月为索引日期。结果共纳入404例患者。大多数损伤发生在上肢、头颈部、面部和下肢。行人碰撞减少（10.9%→5.2%,p = 0.039），汽车碰撞增加（8.8%→18%,p = 0.016）。损伤严重程度和骨折位置在调节前后保持相似。饮酒和夜间骑马与中重度受伤的几率较高有关。结论：与电动滑板车相关的事故数量近年来有所增加。将电动滑板车从人行道转移到街道上减少了行人碰撞，但增加了机动车的风险，凸显了一个关键的政策权衡。大多数伤害涉及头部和面部骨骼，支持头盔的使用。这些发现为未来的预防措施和监管策略提供了依据。

Introduction

Despite the numerous health benefits associated with physical activity, many young people globally fail to meet the recommended levels of engagement, with motorized travel modes becoming the preferred option among adolescents. In contrast, active travel modes such as walking and cycling are essential components of physical activity, yet they are not as widely used. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the impact of government and school support on Thai adolescents' determinants of active travel intention.

Methods

A multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) approach was used to analyze data from a sample of 1500 adolescents across 32 schools in Thailand. The study spanned both urban and suburban settings, focusing on adolescents aged 15–18 years.

Results

The findings indicate that government and school support significantly enhance determinants of active travel intention and perceived built environment at the school level. At the individual level, adolescents who are more likely to intend to use active travel modes are predominantly female, reside with their parents, have a lower BMI, and do not own motorcycles.

Conclusions

This research highlights the importance of targeted interventions that leverage both government and school support and personal characteristics to promote active travel among adolescents. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking to develop evidence-based strategies that foster sustainable active travel behaviors, contributing to improved health outcomes and more environmentally sustainable transportation practices. These findings hold particular relevance for developing countries such as Thailand, where fostering active travel intentions among adolescents is essential.

尽管身体活动对健康有诸多益处，但全球许多年轻人未能达到建议的参与水平，机动出行方式成为青少年的首选。相比之下，积极的旅行方式，如步行和骑自行车，是身体活动的重要组成部分，但它们并没有被广泛使用。因此，本研究旨在探讨政府和学校支持对泰国青少年积极旅游意愿决定因素的影响。方法采用多层结构方程模型（MSEM）方法对泰国32所学校1500名青少年的数据进行分析。这项研究涵盖了城市和郊区，重点关注15-18岁的青少年。结果政府和学校支持显著增强了学校层面学生主动出行意愿和建筑环境感知的决定因素。在个人层面上，更倾向于使用积极出行方式的青少年主要是女性，与父母住在一起，BMI较低，没有摩托车。本研究强调了有针对性的干预措施的重要性，即利用政府和学校的支持以及个人特点来促进青少年的积极旅行。研究结果为寻求制定以证据为基础的战略的决策者提供了宝贵的见解，这些战略旨在促进可持续的主动出行行为，促进改善健康结果和更环保的可持续交通实践。这些发现与泰国等发展中国家特别相关，在这些国家，培养青少年积极的旅行意愿至关重要。

Introduction

Walking offers substantial health and environmental benefits, yet real-world studies on walking behavior often struggle with environmental control and recall bias. This study explores Virtual Reality (VR) combined with an omnidirectional treadmill as a novel, immersive method to examine environmental factors influencing walking for transport. The study aimed to (1) assess the usability of the VR setup and (2) evaluate whether it can identify walking-related environmental factors consistent with findings from traditional methods.

Method

s: A convenience sample of 37 participants aged 12 and older completed a VR walking session on a modeled urban street in Ghent, Belgium. After a familiarization phase, participants walked while verbalizing their thoughts using the think-aloud method. Usability was assessed through questionnaires measuring presence, realism, VR sickness, and task load. Qualitative data were analyzed using deductive content analysis.

Results

Participants reported moderate to high immersion and low VR sickness. However, the treadmill's physical and cognitive demands presented some usability challenges. Qualitative analysis identified environmental factors influencing walking, such as perceived safety, sidewalk quality, and aesthetics, that align with previous walk-along studies in real environments.

Conclusion

This study highlights the potential of VR as a controlled and immersive tool for studying environmental factors related to walking behavior. The findings establish a strong foundation for future research exploring diverse urban settings and their impact on walking as a mode of transport.

步行提供了大量的健康和环境效益，然而现实世界中对步行行为的研究经常与环境控制和回忆偏差作斗争。本研究探索了虚拟现实（VR）与全向跑步机相结合，作为一种新颖的沉浸式方法来研究影响交通步行的环境因素。该研究旨在(1)评估VR设置的可用性；(2)评估它是否能识别与步行相关的环境因素，与传统方法的结果一致。方法：在比利时根特的一条模拟城市街道上，37名年龄在12岁及以上的参与者完成了VR步行会话。经过一个熟悉阶段后，参与者一边走路，一边用“大声思考”的方法表达自己的想法。可用性通过测量存在感、现实性、VR疾病和任务负荷的问卷来评估。定性资料采用演绎内容分析法进行分析。结果参与者报告中度至高度沉浸和低VR疾病。然而，跑步机对身体和认知的要求带来了一些可用性方面的挑战。定性分析确定了影响步行的环境因素，如感知安全性、人行道质量和美学，与之前在真实环境中进行的步行研究一致。本研究强调了VR作为一种可控的沉浸式工具来研究与步行行为相关的环境因素的潜力。这些发现为未来探索不同城市环境及其对步行作为一种交通方式的影响的研究奠定了坚实的基础。

Introduction

The right to safety is a basic need of people, and one of the biggest concerns on safety revolves around public transportation, particularly among women. This study examines factors influencing the perceived safety of women commuters in Metro Manila's train system.

Conceptual framework

Using Wirga and Debarnardi's ABC Model, the study identifies media exposure, familial upbringing, witnessing negative experiences, and experiencing negative experiences as predictors of perceived safety.

Method

A total of 200 women commuters who have used any train system in Metro Manila, Philippines at least once in the past year participated in an online survey that measured the factors in the conceptual model.

Results

Regression analysis revealed that Media Exposure, Familial Upbringing, and Experiencing Negative Experiences significantly predict Perceived Safety, while Witnessing Negative Experiences did not.

Implications

These findings highlight the critical role of Media Exposure, Familial Upbringing, and Experiencing Negative Experiences in shaping women's safety perceptions while commuting. Addressing these vulnerabilities can enhance the safety and inclusivity of public transportation for female commuters.

安全权利是人们的基本需求，公共交通是人们最关心的安全问题之一，尤其是妇女。本研究探讨了影响马尼拉地铁系统中女性通勤者感知安全的因素。概念框架使用Wirga和Debarnardi的ABC模型，该研究确定了媒体接触、家庭教育、目睹负面经历和经历负面经历作为感知安全的预测因素。方法在过去一年中，共有200名在菲律宾马尼拉大都会至少乘坐过一次地铁系统的女性参与了一项在线调查，以衡量这一概念模型中的因素。结果回归分析显示，媒体暴露、家庭教养和负性经历对安全感知有显著影响，而目睹负性经历对安全感知无显著影响。这些发现强调了媒体暴露、家庭教育和负面经历在塑造女性通勤安全观念方面的关键作用。解决这些脆弱性可以提高公共交通对女性通勤者的安全性和包容性。

Background

Public transportation is a key social determinant of health, and its absence can reduce mobility and erode social connections—placing a disproportionate burden on the mental wellbeing of equity-deserving populations. While the link between transportation and health is recognized, the specific mental health impacts of transportation access remain underexplored. This study addresses that gap by examining the mental health impacts of the first universally free rural intercity transportation initiative in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Methods

We employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 43 participants (37 bus riders, 6 operational staff) and six conversation circles involving 18 participants in northern Saskatchewan. Informed by theories of structural violence and Indigenous self-determination, we used NVivo 14 software to conduct a hybrid deductive–inductive thematic analysis to generate themes and subthemes.

Results

We identified two sets of themes revealing how the free bus service promoted riders' mental health. The first set of themes reflected mental wellbeing improvements while the service was operational, including enhanced psychological wellbeing, increased autonomy, reduced stress, and strengthened social ties—anchored in a sense of safety and dignity. The second set captured the consequences of the service's abrupt closure: heightened anxiety, increased social isolation, and feelings of abandonment and government neglect steeped in racism.

Conclusion

Affordable, accessible transportation is vital to mental wellbeing. Free, reliable public transportation reduces isolation and fosters wellbeing, while its absence—particularly in rural and marginalized communities can exacerbate social exclusion and psychological distress.

公共交通是健康的关键社会决定因素，缺乏公共交通会降低流动性，侵蚀社会联系——给本应享有平等待遇的人群的心理健康带来不成比例的负担。虽然人们认识到交通与健康之间的联系，但交通便利对心理健康的具体影响仍未得到充分探讨。本研究通过检查加拿大萨斯喀彻温省第一个普遍免费的农村城际交通倡议对心理健康的影响来解决这一差距。方法采用定性案例研究设计。数据收集通过半结构化访谈43名参与者（37名公交乘客，6名运营人员）和6个对话圈涉及18名参与者在萨斯喀彻温省北部。根据结构性暴力和土著自决理论，我们使用NVivo 14软件进行混合演绎-归纳主题分析，以生成主题和副主题。结果：我们确定了两组主题，揭示了免费公交服务如何促进乘客的心理健康。第一组主题反映了在服务运行期间心理健康的改善，包括增强心理健康，增加自主权，减少压力，加强社会联系-以安全感和尊严为基础。第二组描述了该服务突然关闭的后果：焦虑加剧，社会孤立加剧，以及被种族主义遗弃和政府忽视的感觉。结论经济、便捷的交通对心理健康至关重要。免费、可靠的公共交通减少了孤独感，促进了福祉，而缺乏公共交通——特别是在农村和边缘化社区——可能加剧社会排斥和心理困扰。

Introduction:

Stable social relationships are among the most influential factors for achieving well-being in later life. Yet, there is insufficient empirical evidence on the role of neighborhood environments in shaping social life and relationship quality among older adults.

Methods:

This study drew on original survey data collected from 1200 older adults living in 40 neighborhoods in the main city of Harbin, China, and employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between mobility-supportive neighborhood environments and social relationships, with a particular focus on the mediating role of social interaction and the moderating effect of community type.

Results:

Perceived facility accessibility, walkability, and spatial quality are positively associated with older adults’ social relationships, with facility accessibility showing the strongest association. The link between walkability and social relationships is fully mediated by social interaction. Community type moderates the relationship between neighborhood environments and social relationships, with significant differences identified between Newly Developed Communities (NDCs) and Older Residential Communities (ORCs).

Conclusions:

These findings highlight the importance of mobility-supportive environments in fostering social connectedness and identify key intervention points for advancing community-level governance, which could shed light on healthy aging strategies in Asian countries.

引言：稳定的社会关系是影响晚年幸福生活的最重要因素之一。然而，关于邻里环境在塑造老年人社会生活和关系质量中的作用的实证证据不足。方法：利用哈尔滨市40个社区1200名老年人的原始调查数据，运用结构方程模型（SEM）分析社区环境对老年人流动性支持的影响，重点研究社区互动的中介作用和社区类型的调节作用。结果：老年人感知的设施可达性、步行性和空间质量与社会关系呈正相关，其中设施可达性与社会关系的相关性最强。可步行性与社会关系之间的联系完全由社会互动来调节。社区类型调节邻里环境与社会关系之间的关系，在新开发社区（ndc）和老居住社区（ORCs）之间存在显著差异。结论：这些发现强调了流动性支持环境在促进社会联系方面的重要性，并确定了推进社区层面治理的关键干预点，这可能为亚洲国家的健康老龄化战略提供启示。
