Methods: As part of a larger study exploring a hiking program among older adults, a purposeful sample of participants (<em>n</em> = 10; age = 66.9+/-8.0), who self-reported not meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines of 150 min per week were recruited. One-on-one, semi-structured interviews were conducted at the end of the hiking program. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded following guidelines for reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Participants shared that, (1) their experience with the hiking program was overwhelmingly positive and satisfying; (2) hiking helped them get in better shape; (3) being outdoors made them feel better, and (4) being with others in the hiking group was important to them. Discussion: Inactive older adults were satisfied with and benefited from a hiking program. Positive benefits may be due to the group and nature-based experience of the program and their benefit on accountability and enjoyment. Given the low rates of PA participation among older adults, hiking programs may be a way of increasing PA uptake in this population.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666558124000253/pdfft?md5=b0a1b91de7421f5a15d2f450fab59483&pid=1-s2.0-S2666558124000253-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141540749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies suggest that by facilitating social encounters, social infrastructure can enhance sense of social cohesion and belonging and may also improve subjective wellbeing.

Drawing on data collected in March 2022 from a nationally representative sample of 1000 Australian adults aged over 18 years, we use mediated regression analysis to examine the extent to which the link between social infrastructure and subjective wellbeing is mediated by perceived social cohesion and belonging. Our findings reveal that social cohesion and belonging partially mediate the relationship between proximate social infrastructure and wellbeing. Our findings go beyond previous studies that note the importance of walking or greenspaces for social interaction and cohesion to demonstrate that social and wellbeing benefits can be accrued across a suite of ordinary neighborhood places when the social context is perceived as cohesive. The results highlight the capacity for ordinary places such as shops and cafes to contribute to social cohesion during everyday activities and facilitate subjective wellbeing by satisfying the basic human need to belong.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666558124000289/pdfft?md5=1561bb6341572067ecd5a2181dcc4f6d&pid=1-s2.0-S2666558124000289-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141480553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urban greenspaces (UGS) can provide well-being benefits and are used by all ages, so it is important that these spaces provide benefits across the life course. So far, studies tend to focus on one age group and lack focus on properties of these spaces which shape well-being across generations. Our aim was to explore what properties of UGS can shape well-being across age groups and to what extent are UGS for social interactions across age groups. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted online with 20 participants in four age groups: adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Interviewees were asked about visits to UGS, preferences for multi-sensory components, and how spaces shape their well-being. Using thematic analysis, four themes were identified which were common across all age groups: UGS can provide a sense of escape; there are practical needs surrounding access and contact with UGS; being a space to share with other users; and the importance of seasonal multi-sensory components. Whilst findings showed that there are properties of UGS which are valued across multiple ages, differences were also revealed regarding interactions across ages. By researching qualitatively across ages, the complex similarities and differences between ages can be understood. Future research should also explore interactions between age groups as well as the views of non-users of UGS and their reasons for not visiting UGS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666558124000241/pdfft?md5=007a63ab91312e12c118616e4ad8af26&pid=1-s2.0-S2666558124000241-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141324506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the spread of neoliberal capitalism, social relations around the mine site have become increasingly commodified. This ethnographic study examines the experiences of female sex workers in the mining town of Solwezi, Zambia. Women's stories offer insight into the lives of those excluded from the conventional women's economic empowerment narrative that has been widely adopted by the mining industry and what this means for their wellbeing and health. Despite the rhetoric, economic empowerment is not easily attained and women often remain heavily reliant on mine workers given limited and unequal opportunities within the labour market. In Solwezi, women who have been abandoned by a mine-working husband may find that sex work is the one opportunity available to them. Alternatively, women have migrated from across the country to participate in commercial sex work in Solwezi. Men, especially mine workers with twice-monthly pay cheques, have become a sought-after commodity, by both sex workers and wives. This has increased their power in their relationships, entrenches inequality, and increases the potential for abuse in these relationships. Despite these dynamics, sex working women continue to be neglected in Solwezi and by the broader development community. When they are considered, generally attention is directed towards HIV prevention. These interventions fail to consider the complex social, political, and economic context that can affect women's living and working conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666558124000046/pdfft?md5=072d98b954516fa7fdde87b3710bd65f&pid=1-s2.0-S2666558124000046-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139652954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
