Through walking and photo-elicitation interviews with 22 parents of young children in Aotearoa New Zealand, we experienced diverse relationalities with their local neighbourhoods.

Lastly, walking provided (3) unstructured-wandering-time for parents that slowed down, enmeshed, and transversed time. Our findings suggest that further inquiry into the health-promoting capacity of parental mobility in sub/urban neighbourhoods is promising. We propose that learning about the relationalities of socio-material micro-structures in parent-baby-assemblages can create localised health-promotion opportunities for new parents.

In addition, this study tests whether mastery is a viable psychosocial resource that helps moderate and/or mediate the effects of perceived neighborhood disadvantage.

Moreover, reduced mastery explains part of the effect of neighborhood disadvantage on anxiety and anger-out, respectively. There is also evidence of moderation by race-gender group status.

We conducted a demographic and architectural study, with a focus on daylighting among selected inhabitants. We also investigated well-being by utilizing the SF-36 and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) surveys to measure health and sleep quality. The results clearly showed that older age and lower education are strongly related to poor health, while natural light exposure and better building orientation are strongly related to improvement in sleeping quality and, hence, good health. Distinct clusters emerged from this population; for instance, the employed and better-educated people presented higher well-being. Interaction effects also showed how age, education, and daylight exposure are interactively determining health and sleep outcomes. The health of the less educated elderly decreases at a much greater rate; accessibility to daylight moderates this. Such findings hint at targeted interventions that might involve optimal window placement, coupled with improvements in building orientation and social support measures to enhance general well-being among vulnerable groups. Merging these architectonic and socio-economic factors, the interventions could contribute a lot to people living a better life in such informal settlements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143130285","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}
