(2007, background): “In a study carried out in Perth, Australia, Giles-Corti and Donovan (79) found that residents of low-socioeconomicstatus neighborhoods had better spatial access to recreational facilities than residents of high-socioeconomic-status neighborhoods but perceived their neighborhoods as less conducive to”
Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, methodology): “…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…”

Social environment and physical activity: a review of concepts and evidence. (2006, background): “Most research has found a positive relationship between SEP and physical activity (Ford et al., 1991; Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2002; Jeffery, French, Forster, & Spry, 1991).”
Understanding the importance of sport infrastructure for participation in different sports – findings from multi-level modeling (2012, methodology): “Several environmental characteristics such as coastal location (Humpel, Owen, Iverson, Leslie, & Bauman, 2004) or access to beaches (Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2002) have a positive relationship with taking part in walking (for an overview see Owen et al., 2004).”
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”
Understanding the role of equity in active transportation planning in the United States (2017, background): “Similarly, lower income individuals in Perth, Australia have been shown to have greater access to physical activity facilities, though they were also less likely to engage in vigorous physical activity events (Giles-Corti & Donovan, 2002).”
