Objective.在前瞻性研究中，当地邻里环境在影响特定目的步行行为中的作用还没有得到很好的探讨。本研究的目的是横断面和前瞻性地研究当地的物理和社会环境是否与母亲的步行休闲和交通。2004年，来自澳大利亚墨尔本的357位母亲提供了关于她们当地的物质和社会邻里环境的信息，并在2004年和2006年报告了每周用于休闲和交通的步行时间。高水平的步行和步行增加的环境预测因素进行了检查使用对数二项回归。公共交通的可达性和对附近许多人的信任预测了休闲步行的增加，而连通性，行人过路处，当地交通速度则预测了与交通有关的步行的增加。对当地设施的满意度与增加两种类型的步行有关，社会环境对于保持高水平的休闲和交通相关的步行非常重要。研究结果提供的证据之间的纵向关系的物理和社会环境和母亲的步行行为。提高对当地设施的满意度，并在环境规划过程中考虑“步行性”、安全性和公共交通无障碍性，可能有助于母亲增加步行。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Objective. The role local neighbourhood environments play in influencing purpose-specific walking behaviors has not been well-explored in prospective studies. This study aimed to cross-sectionally and prospectively examine whether local physical and social environments were associated with mothers' walking for leisure and for transport.Methods. In 2004,357 mothers from Melbourne, Australia, provided information on their local physical and social neighbourhood environments, and in 2004 and 2006 reported weekly time spent walking for leisure and for transport. Environmental predictors of high levels of walking and increases in walking were examined using log binomial regression.Results. Public transport accessibility and trusting many people in the neighbourhood were predictive of increases in walking for leisure, while connectivity, Pedestrian crossings, a local traffic speed were predictive of increases in transport-related walking. Satisfaction with local facilities was associated with increasing both types of walking, and the social environment was important for maintaining high levels of both leisure- and transport-related walking.Conclusion. The findings provide evidence of a longitudinal relationship between physical and social environments and walking behaviors amongst mothers. Enhancing satisfaction with local facilities and giving consideration to 'walkability', safety and public transport accessibility during environment planning processes may help mothers to increase walking.
