Objective

The purposes of this study were: 1) to describe the preschool children's accompaniment patterns to school and 2) to analyze the association of the accompaniment person with the parental socioeconomic status.

Methods

A total of 2356 parents and their preschool children (4.56 ± 0.87 years old, 46.9% girls) from Spain participated in this study. Parents self-reported their marital status, educational and professional level, and their children’s mode of commuting to school behavior. Binary logistic regressions models were fitted to analyze the associations between the accompaniment with the parental educational and professional level.

Results

The preschool children were mainly accompanied by the mother (68%) and the father’s accompaniment rate was higher when the parents reported higher educational and professional levels (p < 0.05). When the parental educational and professional levels were lower (OR = 1.59 and OR = 1.85, respectively, p < 0.05) or the father’s educational and professional levels were higher (OR = 1.81 and OR = 1.61, respectively, p < 0.05) preschool children were more likely to be actively accompanied by the mother.

Conclusions

Thus, the preschool children were escorted by the mother and actively by the parents when the educational and professional levels were lower. These results highlight the importance of intervening through the father's involvement in high socioeconomic neighborhoods to increase active commuting to school.

本研究的目的是:1)描述学龄前儿童的上学陪伴模式;2)分析陪伴者与父母社会经济地位的关系:方法 共有 2356 名来自西班牙的家长及其学龄前儿童(4.56 ± 0.87 岁,46.9% 为女孩)参与了这项研究。家长们自我报告了他们的婚姻状况、教育和职业水平,以及他们孩子的上下学行为模式。结果学龄前儿童主要由母亲陪伴(68%),当父母的教育和职业水平较高时,父亲的陪伴率较高(p <0.05)。当父母的教育和专业水平较低时(OR = 1.59 和 OR = 1.85,p <0.05)或父亲的教育和专业水平较高时(OR = 1.81 和 OR = 1.61,p <0.05),学龄前儿童更有可能由母亲主动陪伴。这些结果突出表明,在社会经济水平较高的社区,通过父亲的参与进行干预以增加主动上下学的重要性。

Background

Ensuring adequate spatial accessibility to diverse facilities is essential to shaping sustainable, inclusive cities and increasing the well-being of citizens. However, mobility-restricted individuals are found to have lower spatial accessibility in urban areas due to contextual factors, such as physical barriers. Most accessibility assessments focus on the general population and use the road network, due to the lack of data on how contextual factors influence different individuals and lack of geographical data representing pedestrian infrastructure or accessibility features.

Methods

We searched three databases: Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. After filtering for eligibility, we examined the remaining 20 studies to understand the perceptions mobility-restricted individuals (i.e., mobility-impaired, visually impaired, or older adults) have of microscale street elements present in urban environments. Data regarding target population groups, data collection methods used and mentioned street elements were extracted.

Results

The included works tend to focus on a single population group, and disregard within-group differences regarding mobility capacities. Qualitative methods, such as interviews, focus groups and questionnaires, are most frequently used to investigate individual perceptions. To a great extent, individuals perceive microscale street elements differently depending on their mobility capacities. Even if partial overlap exists between population groups, when considering the frequency with which the street elements were mentioned, the impact on their individual accessibility may differ drastically. Certain street elements were highlighted, which can have a twofold effect, acting as barriers for some individuals and facilitators for others.

Conclusion

The results show that contradicting needs stemming from between- and within-group heterogeneities, together with the highly contextual character of spatial accessibility, pose extensive challenges for designing a barrier-free space for everyone. The results of this review provide a basis for urban planners and policymakers to design the urban infrastructure from a more inclusive perspective, based on comprehensive knowledge.

背景确保各种设施在空间上的充分可达性,对于塑造可持续的包容性城市和提高市民的福祉至关重要。然而,由于物理障碍等环境因素,行动不便的人在城市地区的空间可达性较低。由于缺乏关于环境因素如何影响不同个体的数据,以及缺乏代表行人基础设施或无障碍特征的地理数据,大多数无障碍评估都侧重于普通人群并使用道路网络:我们检索了三个数据库:Scopus、Web of Science 和 PubMed。经过资格筛选,我们对剩余的 20 项研究进行了检查,以了解行动受限者(即行动不便者、视障者或老年人)对城市环境中存在的微观街道元素的看法。研究提取了有关目标人群、所使用的数据收集方法以及所提及的街道元素等方面的数据。访谈、焦点小组和问卷调查等定性方法最常用于调查个人看法。在很大程度上,个人对街道微观要素的感知因其移动能力的不同而不同。即使人口群体之间存在部分重叠,但考虑到街道元素被提及的频率,其对个人可达性的影响可能会大不相同。结论:研究结果表明,群体间和群体内的异质性所产生的相互矛盾的需求,以及空间无障碍的高度情境性,为设计人人享有的无障碍空间带来了巨大挑战。本综述的结果为城市规划者和政策制定者提供了一个基础,使他们能够以全面的知识为基础,从更具包容性的角度设计城市基础设施。

Objective

This study explored the perspectives of transport users about the role of safety in modal choice and shift and the use of safer modes of public transport.

Methods

An online survey explored current modal choice and potential modal shift, consideration of safety in mode selection, and the importance of safety compared to other factors. The survey data were analysed using descriptive and significant analysis to identify key perspectives among transport users.

Results

While many participants favour alternative modes over the safest public transport options, a significant percentage contemplate a modal shift with increasing interest in public transport. Although most participants recognise the importance of safety in general, it ranks low when ranked against other factors in both modal choice and modal shift considerations. However, safety gains a higher position in modal shift deliberations. Key factors influencing both modal choice and modal shift include time, journey utilisation, personal safety, cost, convenience, and mode availability. Younger participants, students, and those travelling for study purposes are shown to prioritise safety less. Students and young individuals prioritise time, while older individuals, retirees, and the self-employed prioritise convenience. Those with travel needs prioritise certainty and personal safety.

Conclusions

The role of safety in the current modal choice process is limited, but it becomes more considerable for future modal shifts, especially with increased user focus on transitioning towards safer public transport modes. This, alongside the overall recognition of transport safety, presents an opportunity to mitigate road injuries through modal shift. However, policymakers need to prioritise improvements to public transport that address crucial factors influencing modal choice, as well as demographic variations, to encourage a shift towards public transport. Targeted interventions aimed at promoting safer transportation modes have the potential to alter travel behaviour, potentially leading to a reduction in road fatalities and serious injuries.

本研究探讨了交通用户对安全在交通方式选择和转换中的作用以及使用更安全的公共交通方式的看法。方法通过在线调查探讨了当前的交通方式选择和潜在的交通方式转换、在交通方式选择中对安全的考虑以及与其他因素相比安全的重要性。调查数据采用描述性和显著性分析方法进行分析,以确定交通用户的主要观点。结果虽然许多参与者倾向于选择其他交通方式,而不是最安全的公共交通方式,但也有相当大比例的人考虑转变交通方式,对公共交通的兴趣与日俱增。虽然大多数参与者普遍认识到安全的重要性,但在与其他因素相比较时,安全在交通方式选择和交通方式转换考虑中的排名都很靠后。然而,在考虑换乘模式时,安全却占据了更高的位置。影响出行方式选择和换乘的主要因素包括时间、行程利用率、人身安全、成本、便利性和出行方式的可得性。年轻参与者、学生和以学习为目的的旅行者对安全的重视程度较低。学生和年轻人优先考虑时间,而老年人、退休人员和自营职业者则优先考虑便利性。结论 安全在当前的交通方式选择过程中作用有限,但在未来的交通方式转变中作用会越来越大,特别是随着用户越来越重视向更安全的公共交通方式过渡。这一点以及对交通安全的整体认识,为通过交通方式转变来减少道路伤害提供了机会。然而,政策制定者需要优先改善公共交通,解决影响交通方式选择的关键因素以及人口结构的变化,以鼓励人们转向公共交通。旨在推广更安全交通模式的有针对性的干预措施有可能改变人们的出行行为,从而有可能减少道路死亡和严重伤害事故。

Introduction

Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) are showing an increasing trend around the world. Empirical evidence suggests that the majority of the crashes are attributed to unsafe or dangerous driving behaviors among drivers. However, little is known about the crash risk among professional drivers such as Long-Haul Truck Drivers (LHTDs) considering aberrant driving behaviors in developing countries like India. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the direct effects of characteristics of LHTDs including socio-demographic, work and vehicle, health-related lifestyle on crash risk. This study also attempts to investigate the indirect impacts of socio-demographic characteristics on crash involvement among LHTDs mediated through aberrant driving behaviors.

Methods

Using cross sectional study design, face-to-face interviews were conducted among LHTDs in Salem city, Tamil Nadu, India. A Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) consisting of 23 items was utilized to measure aberrant driving behaviors among LHTDs and information related to background variables was also collected. A total of 756 valid samples were used for analysis purpose. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a four-factor solution including errors, lapses, ordinary, and aggressive violations and the identified structure was validated using confirmatory factor analysis. The deployment of Structural Equation Model (SEM) enabled identification of interrelationships among identified latent and observed variables. Results: The developed SEM model showed that all the identified four latent constructs were positively associated with crash involvement among LHTDs. The results further revealed that age and marital status were found to exhibit an indirect impact on crash involvement in addition to direct effects.

Conclusion

The findings from this study could serve road safety authorities and Indian trucking industries to target risky driving behaviors in order to develop engineering and interventional countermeasures.

引言 全世界的道路交通事故(RTC)呈上升趋势。经验证据表明,大多数交通事故都是由于驾驶员的不安全或危险驾驶行为造成的。然而,在印度等发展中国家,人们对职业驾驶员(如长途卡车司机)的碰撞风险知之甚少。研究目的本研究旨在调查长途卡车司机的特征(包括社会人口、工作和车辆、与健康相关的生活方式)对车祸风险的直接影响。本研究还试图调查社会人口特征通过异常驾驶行为对 LHTD 发生车祸的间接影响。方法:采用横断面研究设计,对印度泰米尔纳德邦塞勒姆市的 LHTD 进行面对面访谈。利用由 23 个项目组成的驾驶员行为问卷(DBQ)来测量 LHTDs 的异常驾驶行为,同时还收集了与背景变量相关的信息。分析共使用了 756 个有效样本。探索性因素分析确认了包括错误、失误、普通和攻击性违规行为在内的四因素解决方案,并使用确认性因素分析对确定的结构进行了验证。利用结构方程模型(SEM)可以确定所确定的潜变量和观察变量之间的相互关系。结果:建立的 SEM 模型显示,所有已确定的四个潜在结构都与 LHTDs 中的碰撞参与呈正相关。结果进一步显示,年龄和婚姻状况除直接影响外,还对撞车事故的发生有间接影响。

Introduction

Intelligent speed assistance (ISA) is an in-vehicle technology which can assist drivers to comply with speed limits and therefore avoid speeding penalties and reduce crash severity and frequency. ISA's road safety impact will depend on the extent to which drivers use it which in turn will be influenced by the actions of stakeholders involved in ISA roll-out.

Methods

This study interviewed 60 stakeholders from road safety practitioners and researchers (n = 14), police and crash investigation (n = 6), insurance (n = 6), driver training (n = 5), manufacturing and technology (n = 12), policy and infrastructure (n = 14) and motoring organisations (n = 3). Thematic analysis generated three superordinate themes: 1) Benefits and concerns, 2) Driver culture and behaviour, and 3) Stakeholder preferences.

Results

Around three quarters of stakeholders were in favour of fitment of ISA in UK vehicles, one third preferred an intervening ISA and one third an advisory ISA. ISA was described as having the potential to reduce road crashes, improve speed compliance, protect vulnerable road users, and change ingrained speeding behaviours. Concerns around ISA included technical inaccuracies, reduced driver control, driver restrictions and system complexity.

Conclusions

Our findings highlight that the potential safety benefits offered by ISA require public acceptance to be realised. Therefore, they indicate a need to develop safety campaigns to highlight these potential benefits.

引言智能车速辅助系统(ISA)是一种车载技术,可帮助驾驶员遵守车速限制,从而避免超速处罚,减少车祸的严重程度和频率。本研究对 60 名利益相关者进行了访谈,他们分别来自道路安全从业人员和研究人员(14 人)、警察和碰撞调查(6 人)、保险(6 人)、驾驶培训(5 人)、制造和技术(12 人)、政策和基础设施(14 人)以及汽车组织(3 人)。专题分析产生了三个上位主题:1)益处和关注点;2)驾驶员文化和行为;3)利益相关者的偏好。结果约四分之三的利益相关者赞成在英国车辆中安装国际安全驾驶标准,三分之一的利益相关者倾向于干预式国际安全驾驶标准,三分之一的利益相关者倾向于咨询式国际安全驾驶标准。据介绍,智能辅助系统具有减少道路交通事故、提高车速合规性、保护易受伤害的道路使用者以及改变根深蒂固的超速行为的潜力。对 ISA 的担忧包括技术上的不准确性、驾驶员控制能力下降、对驾驶员的限制以及系统的复杂性。因此,这些研究结果表明,有必要开展安全宣传活动,以突出这些潜在优势。

Introduction

Walking is an active mobility option with health and social benefits. Many cities including Singapore are expanding pedestrian infrastructure and creating walkable neighbourhoods. But the connection of neighbourhood walkability and walking behaviour among residents, especially older adults remains less examined. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between everyday walking behaviours and neighbourhood design characteristics.

Utilising generative focus group discussions with 12 participants, including older adults, this exploratory research collected personal and collective stories on residents' walks around Singapore's high-rise, high-density public housing neighbourhoods of Tampines Town, including their attitudes, aversions, and aspects of environmental barriers and enablers for walking.

Results

All 12 participants had walked in their neighbourhoods during the 7 days preceding the focus group discussion. A key motivation for walking in the neighbourhood was everyday life activities and needs, such as to get out of the house, walking for food, groceries, work, exercise, and health, reinforcing the pivotal role of these opportunities in residents’ active mobility life space and the availability and accessibility to these local facilities. Drawing on their everyday lived experiences, participants shared their conception of walkable neighbourhood, the adequacy of neighbourhood places for walking, the environmental barriers and enablers. Older participants spoke about walkable environments helping them to reach essential destinations safely every day and contributing to not only their physical health but also social and mental health (through contact with nature and interaction with neighbours and others within the neighbourhood). Where they would walk is often influenced by their perception of the place, sense of safety, and the presence/absence of services.

Conclusions

The findings lend local priorities for walkable neighbourhoods based on what residents think and blending social consensus. The policy implication is a need to consider both place enhancement and people's experience, including experiential micro-social and psychological aspects and their interlinkages when designing inclusive walkable neighbourhood.

导言步行是一种积极的出行方式,具有健康和社会效益。包括新加坡在内的许多城市都在扩建步行基础设施,打造适宜步行的社区。但是,对于居民,尤其是老年人的步行行为与社区步行能力之间的关系,研究仍然较少。本研究旨在探讨日常步行行为与街区设计特点之间的关系。方法通过与包括老年人在内的 12 名参与者进行焦点小组讨论,本探索性研究收集了新加坡淡滨尼镇高层、高密度公共住宅区居民步行的个人和集体故事,包括他们对步行的态度、厌恶以及环境障碍和促进因素等方面。在社区内步行的一个主要动机是日常生活活动和需求,如走出家门、步行购买食物、杂货、工作、锻炼和健康,这加强了这些机会在居民的积极移动生活空间中的关键作用,以及这些当地设施的可用性和可及性。根据他们的日常生活经验,与会者分享了他们对适宜步行社区的概念、适宜步行的社区场所、环境障碍和促进因素。老年与会者谈到,步行环境有助于他们每天安全到达必要的目的地,不仅有助于他们的身体健康,还有助于他们的社会和心理健康(通过与大自然接触、与邻居和社区内其他人互动)。他们选择步行的地点往往受到他们对该地点的看法、安全感以及服务设施的存在与否的影响。其政策含义是,在设计包容性的可步行街区时,需要同时考虑地方改善和人们的体验,包括微观社会和心理方面的体验及其相互联系。

Introduction

The subway network offers economical and swift transportation for long-distance commuters, simultaneously mitigating urban congestion and environmental challenges in sprawling metropolises. Nonetheless, studies have revealed that subway represent a microenvironment with heightened exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a facet of air pollution overlooked by the majority of commuters. Focusing on the case of Beijing's subway commuters, we assess the health and economic impact of personal exposure to PM2.5 during their commuting, as well as the distributional effects of these impacts across subgroups of populations with different daily commuting durations.

Method

This study adopts an integrated process to estimate the health outcomes and associated economic loss caused by subway commutes under different exposure scenarios. The overall daily exposure was estimated by aggregating exposure in different microenvironments using the microenvironmental exposure model. The health impact was then evaluated using the integrated exposure-response (IER) model. The economic value of the health impact was assessed based on the value of statistical life (VSL) of the affected population.

Result

Our findings indicate that subway commutes lead to an increase of 11.6% and 26.3% in health damage and corresponding economic loss attributable to PM2.5 exposure through “crowding out” of exposure duration in relatively “cleaner” microenvironments in 2017 and 2020, respectively. Long-distance commuters who travel over 100 min per day, make up 25% of subway commuters and are disproportionately responsible for 40% of the total health damages and economic losses caused by subway PM2.5 exposure. Reducing PM2.5 concentration in subway cabins can more effectively offset the additional impacts brought about by the extended and rather inelastic subway commuting.

Conclusion

The result unearthed by our study advocates for urgent measures to ameliorate the air quality within subway systems, a move that promises to mitigate the unequal burdens and rectify the inequities borne by at-risk demographics.

导言:地铁网络为长途通勤者提供了经济、快捷的交通方式,同时缓解了城市拥堵问题,并为无序扩张的大都市带来了环境挑战。然而,研究表明,地铁是一个微环境,乘客暴露于细颗粒物(PM2.5)的机会增加,而大多数乘客却忽视了空气污染的一个方面。本研究以北京地铁乘客为例,评估了通勤期间个人暴露于 PM2.5 对健康和经济的影响,以及这些影响在每天通勤时间不同的人群中的分布效应。利用微环境暴露模型,将不同微环境中的暴露量汇总,从而估算出每日的总体暴露量。然后使用综合暴露-反应(IER)模型对健康影响进行评估。结果我们的研究结果表明,通过 "挤出 "相对 "清洁 "的微环境中的暴露持续时间,2017 年和 2020 年地铁通勤导致 PM2.5 暴露造成的健康损害和相应的经济损失分别增加了 11.6% 和 26.3%。每天乘车时间超过100分钟的长途乘客占地铁乘客的25%,在地铁PM2.5暴露造成的健康损害和经济损失总量中占比过高,达到40%。降低地铁车厢内的 PM2.5 浓度可以更有效地抵消因地铁通勤时间过长且缺乏弹性而带来的额外影响。 结论我们的研究揭示的结果主张采取紧急措施改善地铁系统内的空气质量,此举有望减轻不平等负担,纠正高危人群所承受的不平等。

Introduction

Active travel is beneficial to human and planetary health. This systematic review aims to synthesise the evidence on interventions aiming to promote active travel.

Methods

Studies that included an intervention aiming at increasing active travel with pre- and post-intervention measurement of active travel levels were identified through searches of seven databases, with methodological quality assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.

Results

Of 3895 studies (3934 papers) identified, 78 were eligible for inclusion and synthesised narratively within five categories: studies relating to children (n = 10), social/behavioural/policy interventions (n = 18), interventions offering access to/subsidies for bicycles (n = 16), interventions including infrastructure/environmental change without other interventions (n = 20) and those that included multicomponent interventions (n = 14). Most studies (72/78) had a medium or high risk of bias often due to small sample sizes or high participant loss at follow-up. Multicomponent interventions had the highest impact on active travel levels. Interventions that only included social/behavioural/policy elements generally had little impact and had to be repeated/sustained for any impact to be maintained. Increasing the walkability of an area increases walking rates, but small-scale cycling infrastructure improvements without other supportive measures often leads to route substitution rather than an increase in cycling rates. E-bike loans increased active travel and reduced car use, at least in the short term. In studies targeting children, walking buses/cycle trains showed positive impacts.

Conclusion

Interventions combining infrastructure change with behavioural/social programmes, interventions involving e-bikes, and cycle-sharing schemes had most impact on active travel levels. Policy makers and planners should ensure that interventions that only address behavioural or social aspects of active travel have long- not short-term funding. If population level change is to be achieved, such interventions should also be accompanied by environmental and infrastructure changes, including road space reallocation and access to e-bikes. This requires political buy-in and public engagement.

引言 积极出行有益于人类和地球健康。本系统综述旨在综合旨在促进积极出行的干预措施的相关证据。方法通过检索七个数据库,确定了包括旨在增加积极出行的干预措施以及干预前后积极出行水平测量的研究,并使用混合方法评估工具对方法质量进行了评估。结果 在已确定的 3895 项研究(3934 篇论文)中,有 78 项符合纳入条件,并按以下五类进行了叙述性综合:与儿童有关的研究(10 项)、社会/行为/政策干预(18 项)、提供自行车使用/补贴的干预(16 项)、包括基础设施/环境变化但不包括其他干预的干预(20 项)以及包括多成分干预的干预(14 项)。大多数研究(72/78)存在中度或高度偏倚风险,通常是由于样本量较小或随访时参与者流失率较高。多成分干预对积极出行水平的影响最大。仅包含社会/行为/政策元素的干预措施一般影响不大,而且必须重复/持续进行才能保持任何影响。提高一个地区的步行能力会增加步行率,但如果没有其他辅助措施,小规模的自行车基础设施改善往往会导致路线替代,而不是提高自行车骑行率。电动自行车贷款至少在短期内增加了主动出行,减少了汽车使用。在针对儿童的研究中,步行公交车/自行车列车显示出积极的影响。结论将基础设施改变与行为/社会计划相结合的干预措施、涉及电动自行车的干预措施以及自行车共享计划对积极出行水平的影响最大。政策制定者和规划者应确保只针对积极出行的行为或社会方面的干预措施能够获得长期而非短期的资金支持。如果要实现人口层面的变化,这些干预措施还应伴随着环境和基础设施的改变,包括道路空间的重新分配和电动自行车的使用。这需要政治支持和公众参与。

Background

Age-friendly cities and communities aim to enhance and preserve the functional abilities of older adults. This systematic review assesses the impact of interventions in transportation, housing, and urban development on the mobility of older adults.

Methods

We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, and SocINDEX up to July 2022 to identify studies that evaluated the impact of transportation, housing, and urban development interventions on older adults' mobility. Only randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies with control groups were included to establish a causal relationship between interventions and mobility outcomes.

Findings

We included a total of 15 studies, of which six were randomised controlled trials. Included studies were conducted in high-income settings and employed diverse metrics to assess mobility outcomes. Among housing interventions, three studies examined the impact of assistive technology within home environments for frail older adults. Two of these interventions maintained functional status without improvement, while the third showed a significant decline in outcomes, with the control group faring even worse. Public transport interventions, focused on enhancing mobility through educational initiatives and policy revisions, consistently produced positive outcomes. Interventions related to driving training for older adults, including in-class and on-road assessments, demonstrated beneficial effects. Results from studies evaluating urban design interventions were more varied, with some enhancing mobility by making public spaces more accessible for older adults and others yielding mixed results following infrastructure changes.

Interpretation

Interventions in the built environments of older adults, specifically targeting transportation, housing and urban development, have the potential to enhance mobility and related outcomes according to rigorously designed quantitative evaluations. Due to heterogeneity in how mobility is conceptualised in the literature, greater harmonisation in measurement of mobility would help us understand how the social and built environment contribute to maintaining and improving mobility in older adults.

背景对老年人友好的城市和社区旨在提高和保护老年人的功能能力。本系统综述评估了交通、住房和城市发展干预措施对老年人行动能力的影响。方法我们系统地检索了截至 2022 年 7 月的 MEDLINE、Embase、CINAHL、Scopus、PsycINFO 和 SocINDEX,以确定评估交通、住房和城市发展干预措施对老年人行动能力影响的研究。研究结果我们共纳入了 15 项研究,其中 6 项为随机对照试验。纳入的研究都是在高收入环境中进行的,并采用了不同的指标来评估流动性结果。在住房干预措施中,有三项研究考察了家庭环境中的辅助技术对体弱老年人的影响。其中两项干预措施维持了功能状态而没有改善,第三项干预措施的结果显示显著下降,对照组的情况更糟。公共交通干预措施的重点是通过教育举措和政策修订来提高流动性,这些措施始终产生积极的效果。与老年人驾驶培训有关的干预措施,包括课堂和道路评估,都显示出有益的效果。对城市设计干预措施进行评估的研究结果差异较大,一些研究通过使老年人更容易进入公共空间来提高流动性,而另一些研究则在改变基础设施后取得了好坏参半的结果。由于文献中对行动能力的概念不尽相同,加强对行动能力测量的协调将有助于我们了解社会和建筑环境如何有助于保持和提高老年人的行动能力。

Introduction

Increasing transportation cycling is an effective initiative toward better population health. The aim was to describe differences between less and more frequent cyclists, and to identify factors associated with transportation cycling for people with short and long distances to work or education.

Methods

The study is based on data from approximately 46,000 respondents from a Danish cross-sectional survey conducted in 2020. The survey included questions on active transportation, barriers, and social background. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed for two groups of less and more frequent cyclists: short distance (1–5 km) and long distance (6–15 km).

Results

Overall, 49.3% of those living within a short distance and 73.0% of those living within a long distance cycled two or fewer days a week to work or education. The odds of cycling more often were significantly higher for individuals aged 15–29, women, higher-educated people, students, people with Danish ethnicity, those with daily access to a bike, people living with children, and those in the municipality area. The odds of cycling more often were significantly lower for people who identified time, physical appearance, safety issues, capabilities, and a preference for car driving as barriers to more active transportation.

Conclusions

This study shows that there are geographical differences within Denmark that affect cycling Rates, despite the country being categorized as a cycling nation. People living in rural areas are less likely to cycle to work or education despite having the same commuting distances as people living in the cities. This is surprising and should be further investigated to identify potential infrastructural, cultural, or interpersonal factors that may promote more commuter cycling among people living in rural areas.

导言增加交通自行车的使用是改善人口健康的有效措施。本研究的目的是描述骑自行车较少的人和骑自行车较多的人之间的差异,并确定与上班或上学距离较短和较长的人骑自行车出行相关的因素。调查包括有关积极交通、障碍和社会背景的问题。结果总体而言,49.3%的短距离居民和 73.0%的长距离居民每周骑自行车上班或上学的天数分别为两天或两天以下。15-29岁、女性、受过高等教育的人、学生、丹麦裔、每天都能骑自行车的人、与孩子住在一起的人以及市辖区内的人更经常骑自行车的几率明显更高。对于那些认为时间、外貌、安全问题、能力和更喜欢开车是更积极交通的障碍的人来说,更经常骑自行车的几率要低得多。结论这项研究表明,尽管丹麦被归类为骑自行车的国家,但丹麦国内的地理差异影响了骑自行车的比率。尽管通勤距离与城市居民相同,但生活在农村地区的人骑自行车上班或上学的可能性较低。这一点令人惊讶,应进一步调查,以确定可能促进农村地区居民更多地骑车通勤的潜在基础设施、文化或人际因素。

This is surprising and should be further investigated to identify potential infrastructural, cultural, or interpersonal factors that may promote more commuter cycling among people living in rural areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport & Health","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 101870"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214140524001166/pdfft?md5=a39f166bcb8138abb9ded6d26c534e3c&pid=1-s2.0-S2214140524001166-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141485765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
