随着儿童年龄的增长，身体活动水平会下降，因此从很小的时候起就需要可持续且易于获得的身体活动形式。骑自行车是一种这样的体力活动，并已与许多好处。该研究的目的是确定是否操纵微观环境因素（如速度限制，自行车道的均匀度）在拍摄的街道影响交通自行车的感知连续性;以及是否改变这些微观环境因素在不同的街道设置具有相同的效果。我们从比利时弗兰德斯随机选择的12所小学招募了305名五、六年级的儿童及其家长。他们完成了一份基于网络的问卷，其中包括12个基于选择的联合任务，在这些任务中，他们必须在操纵照片上描绘的两条可能的路线中做出选择，孩子将沿着这条路线沿着。这些路线在四个属性上有所不同：一般街道设置（封闭，半开放，开放），自行车道的平坦度（非常不平坦，中度不平坦，甚至），速度限制（70公里/小时，50公里/小时，30公里/小时）以及自行车道和机动车交通之间的分离程度（没有分离，遏制，对冲）。分层贝叶斯分析揭示了三个街道设置的每个微环境属性的相对重要性。对于每一个属性，孩子和他们的父母选择的路线，有最好的选择（即开放的街道设置，甚至自行车道，30公里/小时，一个对冲分离的自行车道从机动车辆）。自行车路径的平坦度和较低的速度限制对儿童的影响最大，而分离程度和较低的速度限制对父母的影响最大。微观尺度和宏观尺度因素之间的相互作用揭示了它们对路线选择的影响的大小而不是方向上的差异。结果在不同类型的街道设置测试。改善微观尺度的属性可能会增加儿童交通自行车的街道的吸引力。我们呼吁进行现场研究，以测试微环境属性的变化对儿童交通自行车的影响。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1186/s12966-015-0216-2）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
As physical activity levels decrease as children age, sustainable and accessible forms of physical activity are needed from a young age. Transportation cycling is one such physical activity and has been associated with many benefits. The aims of the study were to identify whether manipulating micro-environmental factors (e.g. speed limits, evenness of cycle path) within a photographed street influences the perceived supportiveness for transportation cycling; and whether changing these micro-environmental factors has the same effect across different street settings. We recruited 305 fifth and sixth grade children and their parents from twelve randomly selected primary schools in Flanders, Belgium. They completed a web-based questionnaire including 12 choice-based conjoint tasks, in which they had to choose between two possible routes depicted on manipulated photographs, which the child would cycle along. The routes differed in four attributes: general street setting (enclosed, half open, open), evenness of cycle path (very uneven, moderately uneven, even), speed limit (70 km/h, 50 km/h, 30 km/h) and degree of separation between a cycle path and motorised traffic (no separation, curb, hedge). Hierarchical Bayes analyses revealed the relative importance of each micro-environmental attribute across the three street settings. For each attribute, children and their parents chose routes that had the best alternative (i.e. open street setting, even cycle path, 30 km/h, a hedge separating the cycle path from motorised traffic). The evenness of the cycle path and lower speed limit had the largest effect for the children, while the degree of separation and lower speed limit had the largest effect for their parents. Interactions between micro-scale and macro-scale factors revealed differences in the magnitude but not direction of their effects on route choice. The results held across the different kinds of street settings tested. Improving micro-scale attributes may increase the supportiveness of a street for children’s transportation cycling. We call for on-site research to test effects of changes in micro-environmental attributes on transportation cycling among children.
