Intergenerational park design for active and engaged communities

该项目将评估昆士兰州东南部代际公园使用者进行体育活动的机会和障碍。2015年，全世界约80%的青少年和25%的成年人活动不足。缺乏运动每年给澳大利亚经济造成138亿美元的损失，是全球第四大死亡原因。地方和社区公园可以为所有年龄段的人提供锻炼身体的机会，也可以为几代人提供锻炼身体的机会，但它们在锻炼身体方面的设计和利用往往不足。基于证据的跨代公园设计指南将在澳大利亚各地使用，这将导致更高质量的公园，更有效地鼓励身体活动，改善健康和福祉。

This project will assess the opportunities and barriers for physical activity for intergenerational park users within South East Queensland. In 2015, approximately 80% of the world’s adolescents and 25% of adults were insufficiently active. Physical inactivity costs the Australian economy $13.8 billion annually, and contributes to the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Local and neighbourhood parks can offer opportunities for all ages to be physically active and engage across generations, yet are often under-designed and under-utilised for physical activity. Evidence-based design guidelines for active intergenerational parks for use across Australia will lead to higher quality parks that more effectively encourage physical activity and improve health and wellbeing.
