住宅周围的环境及其娱乐和通勤机会被认为会影响人类的健康和福祉。为了提供科学证据的环境类型对人类福祉的影响机制，本研究探讨了绿色空间的存在和访问是如何与身体活动和自我评价的健康水平。这项研究的重点是户外体育活动的中介作用，利用了一项全面的、跨部门的全国性调查的数据集，其中包括到离家近的绿色空间进行户外娱乐的次数和受访者的自我评价健康状况。调查数据补充了精确的，GIS派生的数据，每个受访者的接触绿色空间，并使用路径分析的关系进行了测试。该研究表明，绿色空间的存在和访问是显而易见的，在郊区，户外休闲活动与休闲时间的身体活动和自我评价的健康。因此，为了促进郊区居民的健康，应确保获得适合娱乐的离家近的绿色空间。相比之下，在更多的城市住宅区，绿色空间连接到频繁的身体活动与通勤，这表明投资于安全步行和骑自行车的基础设施，可以促进公共health.ManagementIMPLICATIONS的研究结果有助于加强的作用和重要性，在城市绿色空间的离家近的娱乐机会。方便使用绿色空间应是城市和郊区森林及其他绿色空间管理和规划的一个重要目标。离家近的娱乐机会对老年人尤其重要。Li绿色空间也被开发用于通勤，健康和福祉的好处可以通过增加整体身体活动来实现，（C）2015爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The environment surrounding residences and its recreational and commuting opportunities are believed to affect human health and well-being. To provide scientific evidence for the mechanisms of influence of the types of environments on human well-being, this study examined how the presence of and access to green spaces is related to the level of physical activity and self-rated health. The study focused on the mediating role of outdoor physical activity, utilizing a dataset from a comprehensive, cross-sectional nationwide survey, which included the number of outdoor recreation visits to close-to-home green spaces and respondents' self-rated health status. The survey data were supplemented with precise, GIS-derived data of each respondent's exposure to green spaces, and the relationships were tested using path analyses. The study demonstrated that the presence of and access to green space is evident in the suburbs, where outdoor recreation was related to leisure time physical activity and to self-rated health. Thus, in order to promote health to suburban residents, access to close-to-home green spaces suitable for recreation should be secured. In contrast, in more urban residential areas, green spaces were more connected to frequent physical activity in association with commuting, indicating that investing in infrastructure for safe walking and bicycling could promote public health.MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONSThe research results contribute to strengthening the role and importance of close-to-home recreational opportunities in urban green spaces. Easy accessibility to green spaces should be an important objective in the management and planning of urban and suburban forests and other green spaces. Close-to-home recreation opportunities are particularly vital for older people. Li green spaces are also developed for commuting, health and well-being benefits could be realized via increased overall physical activity, (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
