以前的城市公园研究使用自我报告的调查和身体活动日志来检查身体活动与公园特征，大小和参与者家的距离之间的关联。在这项研究中，我们使用参与式地理信息系统（GIS）的方法来探索城市公园的身体活动和其他健康益处的潜在相关性。使用基于互联网的公众参与地理信息系统（PPGIS）系统，研究参与者确定了他们从事各种类型的体力活动的空间位置，以及他们获得其他公园利益的环境，社会和心理健康利益。使用城市公园类型学，我们发现，不同的城市公园类型提供不同的机会，为身体活动与线性公园提供最大的整体身体效益，而其他类型的公园提供重要的非物质社区效益。距离公园是不是一个显着的预测身体活动，但公园的大小与身体活动和其他公园的好处。我们讨论了使用PPGIS方法来了解城市公园系统的优势和局限性。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Previous urban park research has used self-reported surveys and physical activity logs to examine associations between physical activity and park features, size, and distance to participants' homes. In this study, we used participatory geographic information systems (GIS) methods to explore potential correlates of physical activity and other health benefits in urban parks. Using an internet-based public participation geographic information system (PPGIS) system, study participants identified the spatial locations where they engaged in various types of physical activity and where they received other park benefits environmental, social, and psychological health benefits. Using an urban park typology, we found that different urban park types provide different opportunities for physical activity with linear parks providing the greatest overall physical benefit while other park types provided important non-physical community benefits. Distance to park was not a significant predictor of physical activity but park size was correlated with physical activity and other park benefits. We discuss the strengths and limitations of using PPGIS methods for understanding the benefits of urban park systems. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
