自然环境的特征对人类行为产生影响。因此，世界各地的规划者和决策者应该致力于提供被认为是高质量的环境，使居民能够享受时间和活动。人们普遍认为，城市环境质量与幸福感有关，但目前很少有研究探讨不同年龄的人认为城市环境的哪些特征对他们的生活环境有吸引力。每个人在一生中都会经历与年龄相关的不同发展环境，因此，不同年龄组对不同空间的使用和感知也会有所不同。2009年和2011年在赫尔辛基大都市区收集的公众参与GIS数据集被用来研究成人（n= 3119）和儿童（n= 672）认为是积极的地方。参与者在地图上标记点，地图上覆盖有地理信息系统数据，以研究不同年龄组的积极地点的物理环境是否不同。结果表明，不同年龄组的积极场所的物理环境存在显著差异。成人年龄组的场所以绿色、蓝色和商业空间为特征，而儿童和青少年的场所以体育、住宅和商业空间为特征。老年人的住处离家最近，而青少年的住处离家最远。在一个环境中为所有年龄组提供有吸引力的环境仍然是一个问题，但应努力争取，特别是在城市环境中，在那里不断出现对不同空间用途的竞争。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.

Features of the physical environment have an impact on the human behaviour. Thus, planners and policymakers around the world should aim at providing environments that are perceived as being of good quality, inwhich the residents enjoy spending time and moving around in. It iswidely acknowledged that urban environmental quality associateswith well-being, but there is currently very little research examining which features of urban environments people of different ages perceive as appealing in their living environments. Individuals experience different age-related developmental environments throughout their life course.Thus, the usage and perceptions of different spaces can also differ between various age groups. Public Participation GIS datasets collected in 2009 and 2011 in Helsinki Metropolitan Area were used to study places perceived as being positive by adults (n= 3119) and children (n= 672). Participants marked points on a map that were overlaid with GIS data to study whether the physical environment of positive places of different age groups differed. The results demonstrated that the physical environment differs significantly in the positive places of different age groups. The places of adult age groupswere characterized by green, blue and commercial spaces, whereas sports, residential and commercial spaces characterize children's and adolescents' places. Older adults' places were found to be closest to home, while adolescents' places were the most distant. Providing appealing environments for all age groups in one setting remains problematic but should nevertheless be strived for, especially in the urban context where a constant competition over different usages of space occurs.
