规划师和景观设计师早已认识到绿色空间在城市环境中的关键作用。这项针对 68 名青少年的横断面实地研究确定了社区公园面积百分比与青少年感知压力之间的关联，同时控制了体力活动。这项研究首次使用公园面积和青少年身体活动的客观测量来检验这种关联。多元回归模型表明，公园面积百分比 (= -62.573，p < 0.03) 可预测青少年的感知压力。在控制社会经济地位和体育活动后，进入社区公园可以缓冲青少年感知到的压力。给出了将公园纳入社区设计的政策建议。
Planners and landscape architects have long recognized the critical role of green space in urban environments. This cross-sectional field study of 68 adolescents determined the association between percent neighbourhood park area and perceived stress among adolescents, while controlling for physical activity. This study is the first to examine this association using objective measures of park area and adolescents' physical activity. A multivariate regression model indicated that percentage of park area ( = -62.573, p < 0.03) predicts perceived stress among adolescents. Access to neighbourhood parks buffers adolescents against perceived stress after controlling for socio-economic status and physical activity. Policy recommendations for incorporating parks into neighbourhood design are given.
