Neighbourhood, school and home food environment associations with dietary behaviours in Hong Kong adolescents
This study is the first to examine whether neighbourhood, school and home food environments were associated with dietary behaviours in Hong Kong adolescents; and whether off-campus lunch school policy, bringing lunch from home and parental rules for eating behaviours moderated the associations. We used data from the international Healthy environments and active living in teenagers - (Hong Kong) [iHealt(H)] study. Participants were healthy adolesc…
Evaluating the performance of spatial indicators of destination accessibility for physical activity research
The neighborhood socioeconomic inequalities in urban parks in a High-density City
Objective neighbourhood attributes as correlates of neighbourhood dissatisfaction and the mediating role of neighbourhood perceptions in older adults from culturally and physically diverse urban envir…
Objectively-Measured Neighbourhood Attributes as Correlates and Moderators of Quality of Life in Older Adults with Different Living Arrangements
With an ageing world population, preservation of older adults' health and quality of life (QoL) is paramount. Due to lower levels of physical functionality, older adults are particularly susceptible to local environment influences, especially those living alone and lacking family support. Using generalised additive mixed models, we examined associations and confounder-adjusted associations between objectively-measured neighbourhood attributes and…
Provision of Convenient Play Space in a Densely Populated City
The focus of this study is on examining sufficiency and quality of play space in a densely populated city from the spatial perspective. The study employed a three-stage multilevel mixed-method design using spatial analysis, user questionnaire, and site surveys. Provision of play space was assessed based on location, user perception, and proximity to residential areas and roads. The spatial distribution of play space was mapped and examined by app…
Neighborhood Variation of Sustainable Urban Morphological Characteristics
Compact cities and their urban forms have implications on sustainable city development because of high density urban settlement, increased accessibility, and a balanced land use mix. This paper uses quantitative means of understanding urban morphological characteristics with reference to the differing qualities of the urban form (i.e., street patterns, building volumes, land uses and greenery). The results, based on 89 neighborhood communities of…
A geographic analysis of hosts' irritation levels towards mainland Chinese cross-border day-trippers
Personal and Neighbourhood Indicators of Quality of Urban Life
Physical activity in relation to urban environments in 14 cities worldwide
Associations of objectively-assessed neighborhood characteristics with older adults’ total physical activity and sedentary time in an ultra-dense urban environment
Neighbourhood effects on body constitution-A case study of Hong Kong
Regional transport and its association with tuberculosis in the Shandong province of China, 2009–2011
Human mobility has played a major role in the spread of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) through transportation; however, its pattern and mechanism have remained unclear. This study used transport networks as a proxy for human mobility to generate the spatial process of TB incidence. It examined the association between TB incidence and four types of transport networks at the provincial level: provincial roads, national roads, highway…
International variation in neighborhood walkability, transit, and recreation environments using geographic information systems
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends strategies to improve urban design, public transportation, and recreation facilities to facilitate physical activity for non-communicable disease prevention for an increasingly urbanized global population. Most evidence supporting environmental associations with physical activity comes from single countries or regions with limited variation in urban form. This paper documents variation in compa…
Quantifying the burden of disease due to premature mortality in Hong Kong using standard expected years of life lost
The study stresses the mortality impact of diseases and injuries that occur in earlier stages of life and thus presents the SEYLL measure as a more sensitive indicator compared to classical mortality indicators. SEYLL provide useful additional information and supplement available death statistics
Exploring tuberculosis by types of housing development
Objective assessment of walking environments in ultra-dense cities
Computer Cartography in Historical Geographical Research
The potential value of maps in historical geographical research has increased as a result of clearer understanding of the nature of maps and new developments in computer cartography. The computer has made possible the rapid transformation of appropriately organized sets of data into maps of many different types. The manipulation of such data sets replaces many time‐consuming drafting operations of conventional cartography and adds new flexibility…
