建筑环境的特征越来越被认为是肥胖的潜在重要决定因素。这在一定程度上是因为地理信息系统(GIS)等方法论工具的进步。地理信息系统使得获取与建筑环境相关的数据变得更加容易,并使研究人员能够灵活地创建新一代的环境暴露度量,例如到最近的超市的旅行时间或计算社区绿地的数量。鉴于地理信息系统数据的可得性迅速发展,而地理信息系统软件的使用也相对容易,编制一份有关利用地理信息系统评估建筑环境的词汇表是适时的。作为一个案例研究,我们借鉴了食物和身体活动环境的各个方面,因为它们可能适用于肥胖,以定义与数据收集、概念和环境特征测量相关的关键GIS术语。
Features of the built environment are increasingly being recognised as potentially important determinants of obesity. This has come about, in part, because of advances in methodological tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS has made the procurement of data related to the built environment easier and given researchers the flexibility to create a new generation of environmental exposure measures such as the travel time to the nearest supermarket or calculations of the amount of neighbourhood greenspace. Given the rapid advances in the availability of GIS data and the relative ease of use of GIS software, a glossary on the use of GIS to assess the built environment is timely. As a case study, we draw on aspects the food and physical activity environments as they might apply to obesity, to define key GIS terms related to data collection, concepts, and the measurement of environmental features.
