• Effect of exposure to natural environment on health inequalities: an observational population study. (2008, neutral): “The role which natural environments, or ‘green spaces’ may play in influencing health and health-related behaviour has received considerable attention from a range of disciplines including epidemiology and psychology (11-18).”
• The health benefits of urban green spaces: a review of the evidence. (2011, background): “52 Women were more likely to walk purposefully rather than for exercise.”
• The Relation of Perceived and Objective Environment Attributes to Neighborhood Satisfaction (2017, background): “A study found those living within 1 mile of a park engaged in more physical activity (Cohen et al., 2006; Cohen et al., 2007), and since 1 mile is about a 20-min walk (McGinn, Evenson, Herring, Huston, & Rodriguez, 2007), a park was considered nearby if it was reported to be within a 20-min walking ”
• Association of park size, distance, and features with physical activity in neighborhood parks. (2008, background): “Nevertheless, direct observation within parks provides another systematic means of collecting setting-specific physical activity data.(13,32) In future studies, observational methods should be combined with interviews of park participants to gather information about park use and other personal attri”
• Characteristics of urban parks associated with park use and physical activity: a review of qualitative research. (2010, background): “As is the case among adults reported elsewhere (Cohen et al., 2007), quantitative evidence suggests that parks also support both physical activity behavior and socializing among children (Ries et al.”
• A comparison of perceived and geographic access to predict urban park use (2015, background): “Green spaces, especially neighbourhood parks that provide convenient access, are purported to promote health for its urban population catchments by providing recreational opportunities that encourage active lifestyles (Cohen et al., 2007), reduce obesity-related diseases and combat mental stresses (”
• Preference and Relative Importance for Environmental Attributes of Neighbourhood Open Space in Older People (2010, background): “This may occur by supporting physical activity such as walking (eg Cohen et al, 2007; Giles-Corti et al, 2005; Wen et al, 2007), offering mental health through restorative experiences (Hartig, 2007; Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989; Orsega-Smith et al, 2004), and through providing opportunities for positive…”
