Abstract
In order to draw and analyze the current status of the research on the relationship between international urban street space (public space, public open space) and residents’ health, we explore the hotspots and frontiers of this research field and the overall evolution path from 1999 to 2019. This study uses 4552 related research articles included in the core database of Web of Science as the basis for data analysis, and uses the advantages of VOSviewer and CiteSpace’s bibliometric visualization software to study countries, institutions, literature keywords, and literature co-citation networks, combined with the Alluvial Generator analysis of landmark literature. In this research area, the research content is constantly enriching, including urban street networks, health systems, green spaces, road traffic, thermal comfort, and vulnerable people. The research methods are also constantly enriching. By analyzing and sorting out the current research status, research hotspots and possible future trends in this field of research, the paper hopes to provide more reference for research implementation.
Highlights
In the middle and late 18th century to the middle and late 19th century, the industrial revolution brought about social changes and prompted changes in urban space
From 1999 to 2003, it can be seen from the keywords co-occurrence map that the research areas of street space and residents’ health during this period were space, noise, model, design, system, atmosphere, simulation, dynamics; urban, gender, land use, behavior, urban space; environment, children, etc
In Lu’s study, it emphasizes the importance of walking behavior in Hong Kong city, and the decision of walking behavior and the length of time are related to the greenery which people visually perceive in the street space, and the validity and reliability of evaluation through Google Street View is proposed, too [41]
Summary
In the middle and late 18th century to the middle and late 19th century, the industrial revolution brought about social changes and prompted changes in urban space. As an important part of urban public space, street space spreads like “human blood vessels” in all corners of the city and is the main place where residents’ daily activities occur [16]. Geographical location, human factors, living habits and other factors, the street spaces in different cities are different from each other and their own particularity, causing different health-related problems. These are the criticisms brought about by the rapid acceleration of urbanization caused by technological innovation. How to consider other disciplines so that the research content can be an effective system for solving problems
