Abstract
By means of on-site and network investigation, we collected data relevant to residents of communities, point of interest (POI) data, and land-use data of Fuzhou. We set traffic walking time and leisure walking time as an independent variable, built environment as dependent variable, and gender, age, education level and income level as control variables. Six linear regression models were established using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS). The results showed that in the 5D (i.e., Density, Diversity, Design, Destination and Distance) elements of the built environment, the density was negatively correlated with the traffic walking time, whereas other elements were positively correlated with the walking time, but the degree of influence was different.
Highlights
On the basis of case-related data, this study quantitatively analyzed the correlation between the resident walking times and the community built environment and identified the urban built environment factors that significantly affected resident walking
We discussed the relationship between a built environment and walking times using a structural equation based on data from central Fuzhou
The empirical results showed that the factors of the length of walking time promoted by the built environment were essentially consistent with those of Western industrial countries
Summary
On the basis of case-related data, this study quantitatively analyzed the correlation between the resident walking times and the community built environment and identified the urban built environment factors that significantly affected resident walking. Modern urban planning originates from public health problems [1]. The current path of urban planning to promote health has manifested in two ways. The second way is through the promotion of physical activity to promote healthy lifestyles by improving community-built environments [1]. In 2003, the ‘American Journal of Public Health’ published an article on the theme of the “Built Environment and Health”. The ‘American Journal of Health Promotion’ published a special issue entitled “Health Promotion and Community Design”. These articles showed the importance of a building environment in relation to health [5]
