与社会经济地位较高的人相比,社会经济地位较低的人更有可能认为他们的邻居没有吸引力和不安全,这与他们的体力活动水平较低有关。客观和感知的环境因素之间的一致性通常被发现是中等或较低的,所以“创造支持性的社区”在多大程度上会改变社区的看法是值得怀疑的。这项研究对荷兰埃因霍温市14个社区的居民(N=814)进行了调查,调查了客观社区特征的五个领域(即设计、交通安全、社会安全、美学和目的地)在多大程度上可以解释感知到的社区安全和感知到的社区吸引力的社会经济差异,以及其他因素可能在多大程度上发挥作用。低社会经济群体的不良邻里观念部分反映了他们实际不美观和不安全的邻里,部分反映了他们对社会邻里凝聚力低和不利的心理社会环境的看法。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Compared to people with a high socioeconomic status, those with a lower socioeconomic status are more likely to perceive their neighbourhood as unattractive and unsafe, which is associated with their lower levels of physical activity. Agreement between objective and perceived environmental factors is often found to be moderate or low, so it is questionable to what extent 'creating supportive neighbourhoods' would change neighbourhood perceptions. This study among residents (N=814) of fourteen neighbourhoods in the city of Eindhoven (the Netherlands), investigated to what extent socioeconomic differences in perceived neighbourhood safety and perceived neighbourhood attractiveness can be explained by five domains of objective neighbourhood features (i.e. design, traffic safety, social safety, aesthetics, and destinations), and to what extent other factors may play a role. Unfavourable neighbourhood perceptions of low socioeconomic groups partly reflected their actual less aesthetic and less safe neighbourhoods, and partly their perceptions of low social neighbourhood cohesion and adverse psychosocial circumstances.
