Public perceptions and expectations of urban park environments on children’s play
Outdoor activities confer mental, physical, and social health benefits to children. In urban areas, parks are vital for children to engage in outdoor activities. Understanding public perceptions and expectations of how urban park environments influence children’s activity could attenuate social and physical inequities and promote park use. Previous studies have used surveys and observational data to analyze preferences for children’s activity in …
Greenspace, stress, and health
Most expositions of the association between green space and overall health and well-being focus on psychosocial mechanisms. However, discussions of the biological underpinnings of the exposure to green space and health implications are limited. In this paper, we highlight the role epigenetics plays in the manifestation or suppression of stress, in addition to some of the proposed epigenetic mechanisms through which green space mitigates stress. T…
Lessons (Not) Learned
During historical and contemporary crises in the U.S., Blacks and other marginalized groups experience an increased risk for adverse health, social, and economic outcomes. These outcomes are driven by structural factors, such as poverty, racial residential segregation, and racial discrimination. These factors affect communities' exposure to risk and ability to recover from disasters, such as pandemics. This study examines whether areas where desc…
Do Spatial Boundaries Matter for Exploring the Impact of Community Green Spaces on Health
Green space exposure is thought to have a positive influence on physical activity behavior and overall health. However, the literature remains equivocal, and green space measurement methods remain complicated. Using data from the Illinois Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, this study examines the influence of green space on health-related factors, such as exercise, physical health, and mental health. Moreover, we explore the methods for …
