影响老年人步行效能的关键性建成环境要素识别

针对当前建成环境与老年人步行活动关系研究中,考虑个体主观感知嵌套于建成环境空间层次的不足,本文通过构建主观感知、建成环境与老年人步行距离效能的多阶层线性模型,以揭示各层级变量交互作用的本质和程度.结果显示:安全性、通畅性是老年人步行效能的主观敏感性因素;客观建成环境要素对不同步行距离效能存在一致性或差异性影响,其中,交...

Identification of Key Building Environment Factors Affecting Walking Efficiency of the Elderly

It appears that the current research on the relationship between built environment and walking activities of the elderly hasn't considered the relationship between individual subjective perception and the spatial hierarchy. This paper develops a multi-level linear model of subjective perception, built environment and walking distance efficiency of the elderly to reveal the nature and degree of interaction among variables at all levels. The results show that: safety and mobility are two subjective factors affecting the walking efficiency of the elderly. The impact of built environment factors on elderly walking distance efficiency shows either consistency or difference. The intersection density, NDVI vegetation coefficient and public service facilities density are the consistency factors, while the plot ratio and road network density have different impacts on the travel distance of 300 meters or longer. The mediating effect test shows that the floor area ratio is the key factor relevant to the traffic safety within 300-meter walking space; the community open form affects the elderly's long-distance travel through the security of surrounding areas; NDVI vegetation coefficient is also an important factor related to the elderly's walking environment security.
