Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to analyse the impact of waterfront resources on the rural leisure environment, economic development, and physical and mental health awareness of the elderly. This study adopted a mixed research method. First, a questionnaire was designed, and 580 questionnaires were analysed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software with a basic statistical test, Pearson correlation coefficient. Then, we used semi‐structured interviews to collect the opinions of six respondents. Finally, the data were compiled and discussed by multivariate check analysis. The study found that although coastal resources can promote the rural economy, maintain community culture, build a comfortable living environment for the elderly and promote health and well‐being, they still affect the physical and mental health and well‐being of the elderly because of serious pollution, damage to the community environment and ecology, high prices and few leisure facilities. Therefore, reducing pollution, stabilizing prices, maintaining coastal biodiversity, controlling the consumption mechanism and providing a safe leisure environment will help promote the physical and mental health of the elderly, increase their enthusiasm and self‐confidence, and increase their sense of well‐being.

滨水区资源对农村休闲环境、经济发展、老年人身心健康意识的影响研究

摘要本研究旨在分析滨水区资源对农村休闲环境、经济发展和老年人身心健康意识的影响。本研究采用混合研究方法。首先设计问卷，运用SPSS 26.0统计软件对580份问卷进行分析，并进行基本统计检验Pearson相关系数。然后，我们使用半结构化访谈来收集六位受访者的意见。最后，对数据进行整理和多元检验分析。研究发现，沿海资源虽然可以促进农村经济发展，维护社区文化，为老年人营造舒适的生活环境，促进健康福祉，但由于污染严重，破坏社区环境和生态，价格高，休闲设施少，仍然影响老年人的身心健康和福祉。因此，减少污染、稳定物价、维护沿海生物多样性、控制消费机制、提供安全的休闲环境，将有助于促进老年人身心健康，增强老年人的积极性和自信心，增加老年人的幸福感。

期刊介绍： Water and Environment Journal is an internationally recognised peer reviewed Journal for the dissemination of innovations and solutions focussed on enhancing water management best practice. Water and Environment Journal is available to over 12,000 institutions with a further 7,000 copies physically distributed to the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) membership, comprised of environment sector professionals based across the value chain (utilities, consultancy, technology suppliers, regulators, government and NGOs). As such, the journal provides a conduit between academics and practitioners. We therefore particularly encourage contributions focussed at the interface between academia and industry, which deliver industrially impactful applied research underpinned by scientific evidence. We are keen to attract papers on a broad range of subjects including: -Water and wastewater treatment for agricultural, municipal and industrial applications -Sludge treatment including processing, storage and management -Water recycling -Urban and stormwater management -Integrated water management strategies -Water infrastructure and distribution -Climate change mitigation including management of impacts on agriculture, urban areas and infrastructure
