Abstract: |
The aging population in China is accelerating. In the face of a large population
aging transformation, how to ensure the basic rights of elderly people to participate in
society, reduce major disease risk factors, and improve their quality of life in their later
years has become an important issue of concern for government management departments
and academic circles. Physical activity has good health benefits. Elderly people actively
participate in moderate physical activity, which can effectively maintain their physical
health and self-care ability, improve their quality of life in later years, and promote the
formation of a positive and healthy aging model. The community built environment is an
important material foundation for the daily physical activity of the elderly. However, China
is in the historical process of rapid urbanization development, and the long-term growth
management led planning and regulation strategy has formed a spatial form dominated by
motor vehicles and with clear functional zoning, which is not conducive to physical
activity for the elderly. Faced with the dual challenges of aging population and rapid
urbanization, it is necessary to explore a new approach to planning and regulation that
focuses more on individual health and quality of life.The social cognitive theory believes
that individuals, behaviors, and the environment are interdependent and interconnected
entities, and the impact of the environment on individual behavior is usually mediated by
cognitive mechanisms. This process focuses on the impact of individual psychological
activities on behavioral decision-making, emphasizing the individual’s perception and
symbolization of the environment as an agent. The key to achieving proactive intervention
in public health issues in the built environment is the objective perception of the built
environment and the accurate positioning of its perception function. Unfortunately,
existing research has focused more on the identification of health supporting built
environment elements and less on the positioning of their perceptual functions, making it
difficult to provide decision-making references for optimizing existing built environments
to effectively intervene in health aging in urban spaces. Therefore, based on social
cognitive theory, this article constructs an impact relationship model that covers the
willingness of elderly people to engage in physical activity, subjective perception, and core
built environment elements in residential areas and surrounding areas. From the
perspective of perception and mediation, key built environment elements that affect elderly
people’s willingness to engage in physical activity are identified and individual perceptionfunctions are obtained.Results show Landscape comfort (β=0.332), traffic safety (β=0.157), travel patency (β=0.146) and traffic convenience (β=0.079) are
the subjective sensitive factors for the formation of physical activity willingness of the elderly, and the role of public security safety is not significant. This is
not to negate the promoting effect of public security safety on physical activity among the elderly. However, in the current context of long-term social stability
in China, the formation of physical activity willingness among the elderly has not generated a sensitive demand for public security safety in residential areas
and surrounding built environments. In terms of built environment, the community opening form (ɑ=0.117), road network density (ɑ=0.579), NDVI (ɑ=0.172),
rest and shelter facilities (ɑ =0.128) have positive effects, and the plot area (ɑ =-0.168) and intersection density (ɑ =-0.572) have negative effects, while the
relationship between the density of bus stops and the accessibility of bus stops is not obvious. The reason may be that as the mobility of elderly people
decreases, and their daily physical activities are gradually reduced to residential areas and surrounding areas that can be reached by walking, the impact of
transportation convenience mainly based on public transportation is relatively limited. Mediation effect indicates that the form of community opening is the key
factor affecting the traffic safety of the elderly, while the NDVI will affect the subjective perception of landscape comfort and travel patency, and then affect the
formation of the physical activity willingness of the elderly. Some influence paths that fail to pass the Sobel-test reflect that the built environment in Dalian is
not old enough or the corresponding built environment elements fail to effectively trigger the subjective perception differences of the elderly. |
