Abstract

Place attachment has yet to be explored in relation to objectively measured neighbourhood walkability and walking. We aimed to estimate the associations between place identity (PI) and place dependence (PD) and walking for recreation (WR) and transportation (WT) among urban adults, and to assess the modifying role of neighbourhood walkability. We analyzed cross-sectional data from 2006 Calgary adults (2007-2008), including PI, PD, and walking. Neighbourhood walkability was determined via street pattern. Generalized linear models assessed associations (odds ratios [OR] and incidence rate ratios [IRR]) and interactions between place attachment, walkability, and walking. PI was lower in curvilinear versus warped grid neighbourhoods. PD was associated (p < 0.05) with sufficient WT (≥ 150 min/week) in curvilinear (OR 1.92) and grid (OR 1.62) neighbourhoods. PI was associated with sufficient WR (ORs 1.58-1.82) and more frequent WT and WR (IRRs 1.17-1.41). Findings highlight nuanced relationships between the built environment, place attachment, and walking.

地点依恋和步行性及其与城市社区步行的关系。

地点依恋与客观测量的邻里可步行性和步行的关系还有待探索。本研究旨在评估城市成年人的场所认同（PI）和场所依赖（PD）与休闲步行（WR）和交通步行（WT）之间的关系，并评估社区步行性的调节作用。我们分析了2006年卡尔加里成年人（2007-2008）的横断面数据，包括PI、PD和步行。通过街道模式确定社区的可步行性。广义线性模型评估了地点依恋、步行性和步行之间的关联（比值比[OR]和发病率比[IRR]）和相互作用。曲线网格社区的PI低于扭曲网格社区。PD与PD相关(p

期刊介绍： We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections. Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021). •Engineering Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live. •Physical sciences Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics. •Earth and environmental sciences Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems. •Biological sciences Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. •Health sciences The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
