This study used a participant-generated photo-elicitation approach to understand how structured (e.g., physical infrastructure) and lived (e.g., perceptions, safety, and affordability) characteristics of the neighbourhood-built environment affect loneliness. Eighteen participants (aged 20–80) from Belgium took photographs and engaged in photo-elicitation interviews to understand their narratives of loneliness and the role of the neighbourhood-built environment in these experiences. Interview data were inductively analysed using the Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven (QUAGOL) and supplemented by photographs. The results describe how the neighbourhood-built environment provides an escape from loneliness at home, facilitates social interactions and participation, supports meaningful involvement, and offers a space for solitude and for processing grief and loss. Availability, accessibility, and affordability of neighbourhood social infrastructure are important, while neighbourhood aesthetics contribute to feelings of safety and welcomeness. Changes in demographics and social infrastructure can bring improvements, but also challenges in relation to loneliness. The discussion underscores that loneliness is not only influenced by individual and interpersonal factors, but also by the neighbourhood-built environment. Our research offers a foundation for targeted, place-sensitive interventions that seek to prevent or moderate loneliness (e.g., preserving informal meeting places) and highlights the need for policymakers and urban planners to prioritise social infrastructure, including accessible third and passing places.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 103587"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145618403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between all-cause hospitalization rates and heat-risk factors, including Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), heat-related social vulnerabilities, and PM2.5, in New Mexico from 2016 to 2022. By integrating a spatiotemporal Bayesian model and Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), we identified regional variations in relative risk and analyzed how these factors influenced hospitalization patterns over time and space. Results show that WBGT only becomes positively associated with hospitalizations after considering heat-related social vulnerabilities. Despite declining hospitalization rates over the study period, the increasing relative risk of hospitalization may reflect underlying healthcare access inequalities. SOM clustering highlights distinct regional patterns, where some counties are more influenced by environmental factors while others are driven by heat-related social vulnerabilities. As a result, our findings highlight the need for geographically differentiated interventions that reflect the evolving impact of heat-risk factors, enabling more effective and equitable resource allocation based on each region's dominant drivers of risk.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 103600"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treating the pandemic as a natural experiment, we used multilevel models to analyze whether public open space exposure (defined as the ratio of land area within 500m of home) modified changes in community belonging, loneliness, and neighbouring from 2018 to 2020/2021. First, we found little evidence of changes in social connectedness in our cohort overall and within subgroups. On average, loneliness increased slightly, and belonging and neighbouring remained stable.

It considers: the routes by which they arrived in an area and the drivers that facilitated those routes; the key stages in participants' lives at which transitions into the area were made; the agency – or lack thereof – that was involved in the choice to work in the area. While previous research has focused on factors driving workforce attrition, we work here to identify what encourages retention, particularly in areas that are known to have difficulties maintaining sufficient medical workforce. Drawing on interviews with doctors who work in these areas across case study sites, we conceptualise how there is a need to understand experiences of working in these areas to surface three intertwined elements – people, career, and place – within a doctors' place-life trajectory. We then explore how one or more of these elements might need to be compromised, how the acceptability of these compromises might change over time, and how the affordances associated with an underdoctored area can be negotiated and re-negotiated in order for those who move to an underdoctored area to want to stay. These findings have implications for improving recruitment and retention, health service provision, and ultimately, health inequalities in these underdoctored areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"96 ","pages":"Article 103560"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145254165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a growing understanding of the importance of putting communities at the heart of public health to improve population health. Understanding the mechanisms by which grassroots activities support health and wellbeing is important for making commissioning decisions, for community confidence and for the purposes of evaluation. This study takes an ethnographic case study approach to explore one rural community in the south-west of England. We observed activities and interactions, had informal conversations with residents and community leaders and conducted focus groups. Focus groups were recorded, and transcripts and field notes were analysed thematically. Findings were mapped to South and colleagues’ family of community-centred approaches. We explore to what extent this framework applies to grassroots activities in our case study site and consider how outcomes from these community assets (places, activities and people) may link to the evidence base behind this framework. We discuss the mechanisms by which these approaches support health and wellbeing, as well as the factors that may constrain their development. We suggest that, through linking to the evidence base, there is a case for investing in the transformational health-generating work of grassroots organisations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"96 ","pages":"Article 103569"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145558819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
