Abstract

ABSTRACT Sunday Streets is an Open Streets initiative where local communities temporarily close streets to traffic, creating car-free space for recreation. This study used a survey of open- and close-ended questions to examine the reciprocal relationship between Sunday Streets and the communities and neighborhoods it serves. Findings suggest Sunday Streets provides participants with a safe (97.2%), vibrant environment (79.4%) where residents can decrease their stress (84.8%). Participants “feel more connected” to their neighborhood environment and recommend expansion of the route and more amenities. Sunday Streets offers ways for communities to support neighborhood social characteristics and social interactions and influence population health.

开放街道倡议下的社区社会环境

摘要“周日街道”是一项“开放街道”倡议，当地社区暂时关闭街道，创造无车娱乐空间。这项研究使用了一项开放式和封闭式问题的调查来检验周日街与其服务的社区和社区之间的相互关系。调查结果表明，周日街为参与者提供了一个安全（97.2%）、充满活力的环境（79.4%），居民可以在这里减轻压力（84.8%）。参与者与社区环境“感觉更紧密”，并建议扩大路线和更多便利设施。周日街为社区提供了支持社区社会特征和社会互动并影响人口健康的方式。
