Measuring Street Built Environments for Children's Use: A Systematic Review of Measurement Tools.
Street-level environments play a vital role in children's development by promoting their physical activity, cognitive growth, and overall development. This study systematically reviews the measurement tools available to assess street environments according to children's needs. This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA-COSMIN guidelines. Five databases were searched-Science, PubMed, EBSCO, PsycINFO, and Scopus-and gray Literature was identified using Google Scholar. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated to screen the retrieved articles. The studies included were assessed for risk of bias using the COSMIN RoB checklist. A total of 25 assessment tools were included. The characteristics and measurement properties of these tools are described in two main categories: audit tools and questionnaires. The elements of street built environments addressed in the tools were reflected in five domains: convenience, functionality, safety, aesthetics, and overall perception. For future research, recommendations for tool improvement are proposed, involving participant inclusion and methodological strategies, tool selection, environmental domains, and technological applications in measurement tools. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on children's unique needs when using street environment assessment tools. Future tools should integrate urban big data and computer vision technologies to support the development of child-friendly street environments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health.
The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
