摘要

城市绿道是多用途、多用户的步道,可提供一系列社会生态和健康益处,包括主动交通、社交互动和提高幸福感。然而,尽管城市绿道好处多多,但仍存在一些障碍,限制了城市绿道的进入和使用,尤其是在老年人和弱势群体中。本研究通过考察影响加拿大魁北克市这些特定用户群体的选择和体验的细微因素,填补了这一重大研究空白。我们采用混合方法探讨了老年人和弱势成人使用两条城市绿道的促进因素和障碍。我们的方法包括绿道使用者统计、96 个观察时段和 15 个半结构化使用者访谈。结果显示,在研究的两个季节(秋季和冬季),老年人在下午散步时都会大量使用绿道小径。我们还观察到使用模式的变化,例如独自散步的人数较多,冬季骑自行车的人数减少,以及二级绿道因雪地条件而不实用。此外,研究结果还揭示了影响绿道进入和使用的各种因素,这些因素可分为个人或个人因素、物理或建筑环境因素、社会环境因素以及气象或气候因素。未来的研究可以在这些见解的基础上设计和评估干预措施,以利用促进因素并解决任何障碍,从而提高城市绿道对老年人和弱势群体的价值。

Understanding the barriers and facilitators of urban greenway use among older and disadvantaged adults: A mixed-methods study in Québec city

Urban greenways are multipurpose and multi-user trails that provide a range of socio-ecological and health benefits, including active transportation, social interactions, and increased well-being. However, despite their numerous benefits, barriers exist that limit urban greenway access and use, particularly among older and disadvantaged adults. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining the nuanced factors that influence the choices and experiences of these specific user groups in Québec City, Canada. We use a mixed-methods’ approach to explore the facilitators of and barriers to access and use of two urban greenway trails among older and disadvantaged adults. Our methods included a greenway user count, 96 observation time slots, and 15 semi-structured user interviews. The results revealed significant use of greenway trails by older adults for afternoon walks in both seasons studied (autumn and winter). We also observed variations in use patterns, such as higher levels of solitary walking, reduced levels of winter cycling, and the impracticality of the secondary greenway trail owing to snow conditions. In addition, the findings revealed a wide range of factors that influence greenway access and use, categorized as individual or personal, physical or built environment, social environment, and meteorological or climatic dimensions. Future research can build on these insights to design and assess interventions that capitalize on the facilitators and address any barriers, enhancing the value of urban greenways for older and disadvantaged adults.
