Understanding how local and regional accessibility are associated with active travel, and related health and economic impacts.

运动和散步对健康的生活方式和幸福至关重要。一个人生活和工作的地方的可达性和“可步行性”是支持体育活动的关键。因此，公共卫生从业人员、城市规划者和交通部门面临着一个共同的战略挑战：将人们从私家车转向积极的交通方式。该项目旨在模拟以下活动对健康和经济的影响：在社区内步行和骑自行车;以及在成人和儿童中步行和骑自行车交通所花费的时间在更广泛的地理区域旅行。该项目旨在使研究团队能够最大限度地利用环境为澳大利亚的积极健康和福祉提供的机会。

Exercise and walking are vital for a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing. The accessibility and ’walkability’ of where one lives and works is key to supporting physical activity. Consequently, public health practitioners, urban planners and the transport sector face a common strategic challenge; shifting people from private vehicles to active forms of transport. This project aims to model the health and economic impacts of the ease of: walking and cycling within neighbourhoods; and travelling across wider geographical areas on time spent walking and cycling for transport among both adults and children. This project aims to enable the research team to maximise the opportunities the environment provides for both positive health and well-being in Australia.
