摘要

背景:酷热是美国夏季发病和死亡的主要原因。收入较低、有色人种和/或移民人口面临的高温暴露风险和相关健康后果尤为严重:由于对热岛居民经历的定性研究有限,这项基于社区的研究通过半结构式访谈和定性内容分析,考察了马萨诸塞州切尔西和东波士顿--经历城市热岛效应的环境正义(EJ)地区--居民在保持凉爽方面的障碍和应对策略:结果表明,所有参与者(n = 12)都有空调,但高昂的能源费用导致空调使用率较低。八名参与者自称对热敏感,其中五人在高温下健康状况不佳。此外,有九名参与者表示,由于工作时间安排、不喜欢水或认为水不安全等原因,导致水分摄入不足:本研究强调了了解东正教社区居民看法的重要性,以便根据具体情况确定脆弱性,并确定多管齐下的高温应对策略和有针对性的干预措施。

Facilitators and Barriers for Keeping Cool in an Urban Heat Island: Perspectives from Residents of an Environmental Justice Community.

Background: Extreme heat is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality during summer months in the United States. Risk of heat exposure and associated health outcomes are disproportionately experienced by people with lower incomes, people of color, and/or immigrant populations.

Methods: As qualitative research on the experiences of residents in heat islands is limited, this community-based study examined barriers and coping strategies for keeping cool among residents of Chelsea and East Boston, Massachusetts-environmental justice (EJ) areas that experience the urban heat island effect-through semistructured interviews and qualitative content analysis.

Results: Results indicate that all participants (n = 12) had air conditioning, but high energy bills contributed to low use. Eight participants were self-described heat-sensitive, with five experiencing poor health in heat. In addition, nine reported insufficient hydration due to work schedules, distaste of water, or perceptions of it being unsafe.

Discussion: This research highlights the importance of understanding perceptions of residents in EJ communities to contextualize vulnerability and identify multipronged heat coping strategies and targeted interventions.

期刊介绍: Environmental Justice, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal, is the central forum for the research, debate, and discussion of the equitable treatment and involvement of all people, especially minority and low-income populations, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The Journal explores the adverse and disparate environmental burden impacting marginalized populations and communities all over the world. Environmental Justice draws upon the expertise and perspectives of all parties involved in environmental justice struggles: communities, industry, academia, government, and nonprofit organizations.
