A Look at the Ecotherapy Research Evidence (2009, positive): “Walkability and mixed use of neighborhoods have been reported to enhance the sense of community and one’s perceived value to it (Glynn, 1981; Nasar & Julian, 1995) and to promote higher physical activity and lower obesity levels (Salens, Sallis, Black, & Chen, 2003).”
Neighborhood Built Environment and Income: Examining Multiple Health Outcomes (2009, methodology): “Present findings confirm previous results of higher total physical activity in high-walkability neighborhoods (Frank et al., 2005; Saelens, Sallis, Black, & Chen, 2003 ).”
Perceived urban design qualities and affective experiences of walking (2016, methodology): “Based on previous instruments capturing a broader spectrum of PuDQs (e.g. the nEWS Saelens et al. 2003; the PREQI, Fornara, Bonaiuto, and Bonnes 2010; the ACRES, Wahlgren, Stigell, and Schantz 2010), the following question was developed to specifically address PuDQs related to pleasurability: ‘How…”
Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale: validity and development of a short form. (2006, methodology): “NEWS (5,20, 24 ), and other studies have provided partial support for its construct validity by reporting significant differences on some NEWS subscales between neighborhoods selected to differ on walkability (20,24) and modest correlations between NEWS subscales and accelerometer (1) and self-repor”
Potential environmental determinants of physical activity in adults: a systematic review (2007, background): “Saelens (40) 2003 USA CS 107 men and women 18–65 years General physical activity Moderate activity Vigorous activity/sports Cervero (41) 2003 USA CS 15 066 households adults Bicycling Walking Powell (42) 2003 USA CS 4532 men and women 18 years or older Vigorous/moderate”
Do satisfying walking and cycling trips result in more future trips with active travel modes? An exploratory study (2019, background): “Having a higher income seems to reduce walking, but only has a limited effect on cycling (Pucher & Renne, 2003; Saelens et al., 2003b; Song et al., 2013).”
Obesogenic environments: exploring the built and food environments (2006, background): “(39) reported that people in the high walkable neighbourhoods on average walked over an hour more than those in the low walkable neighbourhoods.”
Linking objectively measured physical activity with objectively measured urban form: findings from SMARTRAQ. (2005, background): “a Land-use mix ( 1 ) [(square footage of commercial / total square footage of commercial residential, and office) ln (square footage of commercial / total square footage of commercial, residential, and office) (square footage of office / total square footage of commercial residential, and office) ln”
Transport disadvantage, social exclusion, and subjective well-being: The role of the neighborhood environment—evidence from Sydney, Australia (2018, methodology): “The final score on each dimension of the neighborhood environment was calculated based on the scoring method provided by Saelens et al. (2003).”
