尽管人们都知道不运动对健康有害，但许多成年人仍然不运动。缺乏体育活动在贫困地区尤为普遍。目前尚不清楚身体活动与邻里安全等邻里特征的关系。此外，缺乏证据表明，旨在改善贫困地区生活条件的地区性举措是否以及如何促进贫困地区的体育活动。本论文的第一个目的是探讨邻里安全在多大程度上与成年人的闲暇时间的身体活动。本论文的第二个目标是探讨在何种程度上，以及如何荷兰地区为基础的倡议，称为区的方法是与邻里安全和休闲时间的身体活动在40个贫困的目标地区的变化。本论文提供的证据表明，安全的社区可能会促进休闲时间骑自行车和运动的成年人。良好的邻里安全也可能促进闲暇时间的步行，但仅限于贫困地区。在贫困地区，以地区为基础的举措，如荷兰区办法，似乎能够促进成年人的闲暇时间体育活动。更具体地说，它们似乎通过使公园和小径不那么可怕、更方便、更放松来促进休闲散步。这些结果强调，需要大规模和多学科的方法来解决邻里问题，从而刺激在贫困地区的休闲时间的身体活动。
Even though physical inactivity is known to be detrimental for health, many adults remain inactive. Physical inactivity is particularly prevalent in deprived areas. It remains unclear to what extent physical activity is related to neighbourhood characteristics like neighbourhood safety. Moreover, there is scarce evidence on whether and how physical activity in deprived areas can be promoted by area-based initiatives that aim to improve the living conditions in deprived areas. The first objective of this thesis was to explore to what extent neighbourhood safety was associated with leisure-time physical activity among adults. The second objective of this thesis was to explore to what extent and how a Dutch area-based initiative called the District Approach was associated with changes in neighbourhood safety and leisure-time physical activity in 40 deprived target areas. This thesis provides evidence to suggest that safe neighbourhoods may promote leisure-time cycling and sports among adults. Good neighbourhood safety may also promote leisure-time walking, but only in deprived areas. In deprived areas, area-based initiatives like the Dutch District Approach appear to be able to promote leisure-time physical activity among adults. More specifically, they seem to promote leisure-time walking by making parks and trails less frightening, more convenient, and more relaxing. These results emphasize the need for large-scale and multidisciplinary approaches to solve neighbourhood problems and hence stimulate leisure-time physical activity in deprived areas.
