• The Role of Nature-Based Experiences in the Development and Maintenance of Wellness (2010, neutral): “…finding that physical activity in green spaces have benefits beyond physical activity alone (Corkery, 2004; de Vries, Verheij, & Groenewegen, 2001; Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2003; MIND, May, 2007; Mitchell & Popham, 2007; News, NA; Pretty, Hine, & Peacock, 2006; Pretty et al., 2007; Pretty, Peacock,…”
• Understanding and representing 'place' in health research: a relational approach. (2007, background): “Quantitative studies are also now beginning to take such an approach by testing hypotheses regarding how specific features of places (e.g. features of the built or social environments) are related to relevant health-related outcomes (for example Addy et al., 2004; Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2003).”
• Social environment and physical activity: a review of concepts and evidence. (2006, background): “…approaches to promoting physical activity must address modifiable social environmental factors that can support behavior change (Schmid, Pratt, & Howze, 1995), and there have been increasing efforts to understand the relative influence of each on physical activity (Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2003).”
• Does Fear of Crime Discourage Walkers? A Social-Ecological Exploration of Fear As a Deterrent to Walking (2014, background): “However, the results remain relevant as most Australian’s live in the suburbs, aspire to purchase a home (homeownership rates are relatively high at 70%); (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2010), and few Australians walk sufficiently to meet public health guidelines (Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2003).”
• Potential environmental determinants of physical activity in adults: a systematic review (2007, background): “More recent studies tend to be more specific in their definition of the type of physical activity Table 1 Selection criteria Factor Criteria Physical activity Physical activity Walking, bicycling, sports, commuting, leisure-time physical activity in general Specifically not: work-related physical ac”
• Obesity and the built environment. (2005, background): “Despite the emphasis on understanding and intervening on individual characteristics that influence dietary and physical activity patterns (2-4), little progress has been made in stemming the obesity epidemic.”
• Walkable streets: pedestrian behavior, perceptions and attitudes (2008, background): “At the same time, research suggests that subjective environmental perceptions may be as important as the objectively measured environmental characteristics (Giles-Corti and Donovan 2003).”
• Obesity relationships with community design, physical activity, and time spent in cars. (2004, neutral): “001) that is so strongly associated with obesity? While there are numerous ways in which land use mix may affect obesity, such as access to other forms of physical activity including parks and recreational facilities.(34) Access to food may also play an important role.”
• Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, background): “…and continuity of footpaths (Handy et al., 2002; Cervero and Kockelman, 1997), accessibility or distances to facilities (Pikora et al., 2002; Giles-Corti and Donovan, 2002b, 2003), transit accessibility (Kitamura et al., 1997), factors related to natural features such as topography and…”
