Abstract:

The main objective of this research was to contribute to the understanding of leisure experiences in protected wilderness areas. This was pursued through the interpretation and analysis of three variables; the personal notion of “Nature”, perception of benefits, and senses of place put forward by resident and non-resident visitors to three protected wilderness areas in southern Chile. Through a post hoc qualitative, in-depth interview with 36 subjects, connections between the aforementioned variables were established. Among the results, the strength with which the romantic notion of Nature app

Abstract:

Leisure noise is a continual source of complaints from residents of affected areas, and its management poses a difficult challenge for local authorities, especially in tourist destinations, such as Málaga. The city council of this city has set a goal of mitigating the noise produced by leisure activities. In 2015, it began mitigation actions, starting with the assessment of the noise through a temporal monitoring campaign in two specific areas of the city where leisure activities are prevalent. Beyond the objective assessment of the noise levels through measurements, the research team programm

Understanding the balance between the supply and demand of leisure services (LSs) in urban areas can benefit urban spatial planning and improve the quality of life of residents. In cities in developing countries, the pursuit of rapid economic growth has ignored residents’ demand for LSs, thereby leading to a high demand for and short supply of these services. However, due to the lack of relevant research data, few studies have focused on the spatial mismatch in the supply and demand of LSs in urban areas.

Abstract:

AbstractThe neighbourhoods in the former Soviet Union were after the World War II often planned according to the self-consistent microdistrict concept similar to Clarence Perry's neighbourhood unit. Each residential district was based on the walkable community centre in the middle whereas the area itself was surrounded by arterial streets as the main transport routes with basic services. However, the recent situation of many of those neighbourhoods is rather dim – the bad condition of housing, faded public spaces and unorganised greenery systems are between the most crucial issues. The results

Abstract:

Environmental issues in urban areas have been increasingly discussed in the construction of smart and sustainable cities. Thus, public green spaces have become the focus of studies for bringing several contributions to the urban environment, as well as provide many ecosystem services. However, it is important to know how users of these green spaces perceive the environment around them, especially in the context of creating new parks in areas with intense human settlements. The aim of this study was to investigate the ecological knowledge of residents surrounding an urban green area in the east

Abstract This study explored social and environmental determinants of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in cancer survivors (CS) residing in Central Pennsylvania, a largely rural region. Rural CS completed questionnaires assessing LTPA, social support (SS) for LTPA, home and neighborhood environments for LTPA. Logistic regression models were used to assess associations with being active/inactive. Participants (n=219) were categorized as mature survivors (&lt;75 years, 80.7%) or elderly survivors (&gt;=75 years, 19.3%). Only 28.2% of elderly survivors reported meeting LTPA guideline

Abstract:

A compact urban form has shown many benefits in efficiency. Yet multiple studies have found that residents of urban, dense, and centrally located areas travel more frequently than those living in suburbs, small towns, or the countryside. As air travel is already causing more emissions than ground transport in many affluent urban locations and is predicted to increase, this pattern could undermine efforts in climate change mitigation. Explanations of these patterns and motivations for long-distance travel connected to the built environment have been examined quantitatively before, but with inco

Abstract:

AbstractRural areas of the Silesian Lowland, undergoing social and economic transformations today, have had a strong impact on the formation of the region's settlement landscapes. Political and economic changes after 1989 have affected the development of rural areas, in particular of ‘privileged’ settlements for which the proximity of towns and a trunk road are favourable factors. The result of these seemingly positive factors is the escape of young people (potential farmers) to the cities and an influx of new settlers. This affects social behaviour and activity, as well as the visual rural la
