Abstract

ABSTRACT This study analysed the association between park access and physical activity in an urban context by extracting tweets from the social media platform Twitter. The results show that areas within a 0.5-mile distance to a park correlate with more physical activity than areas farther than that. Park type might be an essential mediator for the correlation between park size and physical activity. This study suggests that geolocated Twitter data are a viable source of information for researchers inquiring about factors related to urban open space that can contribute to public health.

公园进出影响身体活动:来自地理定位Twitter数据分析的新证据

摘要:本研究通过提取社交媒体平台Twitter上的推文，分析了城市环境中公园进出与身体活动之间的关系。结果显示，距离公园0.5英里以内的地区比距离更远的地区有更多的体育活动。公园类型可能是公园规模与体育活动相关的重要中介。这项研究表明，地理定位的Twitter数据是研究人员询问与城市开放空间有关的因素的一个可行的信息来源，这些因素可能有助于公众健康。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Design is a scholarly international journal which advances theory, research and practice in urban design. There is a growing recognition of the need for urban design in shaping, managing and improving the quality of the urban environment. It is now considered one of the core knowledge components of planning and architectural education and practice. Thus, increasing numbers of architects, planners, surveyors, landscape architects and other professions concerned with the quality of urban development are specialising in urban design. The Journal of Urban Design provides a new forum to bring together those contributing to this re-emerging discipline and enables researchers, scholars, practitioners and students to explore its many dimensions. The Journal publishes original articles in specialised areas such as urban aesthetics and townscape; urban structure and form; sustainable development; urban history, preservation and conservation; urban regeneration; local and regional identity; design control and guidance; property development; practice and implementation.
