Using Residential Sorting Behavior to Better Understand the Relationship Between Urban Greenspace and Health
A recent wave of research in public health finds associations between the proximity of an individual to greenspace and various health outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease rates, depression, and anxiety. Based on these associations, it is sometimes assumed that better access to parks will lead to improved health outcomes. My project addresses this assumption by focusing on an issu...
متن کاملThe importance of greenspace for mental health
There is an urgent global need for accessible and cost-effective pro-mental health infrastructure. Public green spaces were officially designated in the 19th century, informed by a belief that they might provide health benefits. We outline modern research evidence that greenspace can play a pivotal role in population-level mental health.
متن کاملNeighborhood greenspace and health in a large urban center
Studies have shown that natural environments can enhance health and here we build upon that work by examining the associations between comprehensive greenspace metrics and health. We focused on a large urban population center (Toronto, Canada) and related the two domains by combining high-resolution satellite imagery and individual tree data from Toronto with questionnaire-based self-reports of...
متن کاملAssociations between urban greenspace and health-related quality of life in children
With research to suggest that urban greenspace use can affect the health and wellbeing of adults, it is important to investigate this association in children. Compared with factors such as physical activity, research considering greenspace and its association with the health and wellbeing of children from urban areas is relatively rare. This study examined the health-related quality of life of ...
متن کاملExploring the Use of Urban Greenspace through Cellular Network Activity
Knowing when and where people use greenspace is key to our understanding of urban ecology. The number of cellular phones active in a geographic area can serve as a proxy for human density in that area. We are using anonymous records of cellular network activity to study the spatiotemporal patterns of human density in an urban area. This paper presents the vision and some early results of this e...
