A typological study of the provision and use of communal outdoor space in Australian apartment developments
There is a consensus that higher-density urban settings need to be accompanied by communal outdoor space (COS) to bolster the well-being of apartment residents. Nonetheless, there is a lack of studies identifying COS types in apartment buildings and systematically assessing the degree to which they provide greenery and are used by residents. In response, this study developed a COS typology for apartment buildings in Australian cities, measured th…
Density my way
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) within existing urban areas often confronts entrenched community resistance. This paper documents the results of an Australian survey systematically evaluating the level of community support of densification strategies around a central train station in a greyfield suburban setting - based on theories in planning such as TOD (Pedestrian Pockets and Transit Boulevardes), Greenspace-Oriented Development (GOD) and '…

The impact of the design and quality of communal areas in apartment buildings on residents' neighbouring and loneliness
Constructing Understandings
In this 50th anniversary of the Jean Piaget Society, we have been asked to celebrate The Having of Wonderful Ideas and Other Essays on Teaching and Learning (Duckworth, 2006) – winner of the 1988 AERA award for outstanding research contribution in the areas of teaching and teacher education, now in its 3rd edition, published on four continents, in 7 languages. We have taken the name that Inhelder gave to Piaget’s research method – Critical Explor…
A new Australian dream? Exploring associations between apartment design attributes and housing satisfaction in three Australian cities
Revisiting the Australian Government’s Growth Centres programme 1972–1975
From 1973 to 1975 a new Australian Government led by Gough Whitlam actively pursued plans to develop regional and sub-metropolitan Growth Centres with significantly boosted populations following a national strategy published in June 1973 which mapped a national coverage of prospective locations. The intention was for these centres to alleviate pressure on the capital cities considered overcrowded and deteriorating in efficiency and quality of lif…
Exposure to unhealthy food and beverage advertising during the school commute in Australia
BACKGROUND: Food marketing exposure has the potential to influence children's dietary behaviours and health status, however, few studies have identified how 'obesogenic' the outdoor food marketing environment is along public transport (bus and/or train) or walking routes that children take to school. METHODS: Audits of all outdoor advertisements present along likely train, bus and walking routes to 24 secondary schools (ie, 3 routes per school, 7…
Do Changes in the Local Food Environment Within New Residential Developments Influence the Diets of Residents? Longitudinal Results from Reside
Background : There is limited longitudinal evidence supporting a link between food outlet locations and dietary outcomes to inform policy and urban planning. This study examined how longitudinal changes in the local food environment within new residential developments influenced changes in adult dietary intake. Methods : Adult participant data (n = 3223 person-observations) were sourced from the RESIDential Environments (RESIDE) project across th…
The influence of the local food environment on diet following residential relocation
Objective: To examine the associations of changes in the local food environment, individual behaviours and perceptions with changes in dietary intake, following relocation from an established neighbourhood to a new residential development. Design: Spatial food environment exposure measures were generated relative to each participant’s home address using the locations of food outlets at baseline (before moving house) and follow-up (1–2 years after…
Liveability aspirations and realities
A Case Study of a Natural Experiment Bridging the ‘Research into Policy’ and ‘Evidence-Based Policy’ Gap for Active-Living Science
The translation of research into tangible health benefits via changes to urban planning policy and practice is a key intended outcome of academic active-living research endeavours. Conversely, policy-makers and planners identify the need for policy-specific evidence to ensure policy decisions and practices are informed and validated by rigorously established evidence. In practice, however, these two aspirations rarely meet and a research-translat…
Associations between proposed local government liquor store size classifications and alcohol consumption in young adults
Are public open space attributes associated with walking and depression
Making Through the Lens of Culture and Power
In this essay, Shirin Vossoughi, Paula Hooper, and Meg Escudé advance a critique of branded, culturally normative definitions of making and caution against their uncritical adoption into the educational sphere. The authors argue that the ways making and equity are conceptualized can either restrict or expand the possibility that the growing maker movement will contribute to intellectually generative and liberatory educational experiences for work…
Are liveable neighbourhoods safer neighbourhoods? Testing the rhetoric on new urbanism and safety from crime in Perth, Western Australia
Does heightened fear of crime lead to poorer mental health in new suburbs, or vice versa
Quality of Public Open Spaces and Recreational Walking
Objectives. We examined associations between specific public open space (POS) attributes and recreational walking to local POS. Methods. Between October 2004 and December 2006, 1465 adults of the RESIDential Environments Project, conducted in Perth, Australia, reported whether they walk to a POS for recreation. For each participant, we identified all open spaces larger than 0.8 hectares within 1.6 kilometers from home. On the basis of field audit…
How important is the land use mix measure in understanding walking behaviour? Results from the Reside study
BACKGROUND: Understanding the relationship between urban design and physical activity is a high priority. Different representations of land use diversity may impact the association between neighbourhood design and specific walking behaviours. This study examined different entropy based computations of land use mix (LUM) used in the development of walkability indices (WIs) and their association with walking behaviour. METHODS: Participants in the …
