本研究探讨了儿童步行和骑自行车行为的环境相关性。来自荷兰10个社区的448名儿童完成了为期7天的体育活动日记，其中评估了步行和骑自行车出行的次数，上学和娱乐。观察到的建成环境特征和儿童的步行和骑自行车的行为之间的关联进行了多元线性回归分析。结果表明，儿童的步行和骑自行车的行为，建立环境相关性不同的目的和通勤模式，这意味着行为的具体方法的干预措施和未来的，最好是前瞻性的研究。
This study examined built environmental correlates of children's walking and cycling behavior. Four hundred and forty-eight children from 10 Dutch neighborhoods completed a seven-day physical activity diary in which the number of walking and cycling trips for transportation, to school, and for recreation were assessed. The associations between observed built environmental characteristics and children's walking and cycling behavior were examined with multivariate linear regression analyses. The results showed that built environmental correlates of children's walking and cycling behavior differ by purpose and by commuting mode implying a behavior-specific approach for interventions and for future, preferably prospective, studies.
