“…Chen et al [50] reported that the accessibility of community public services had a significant positive effect on both the self-rated health and mental health of migrants. For elderly migrants, closeness to financial facilities is negatively associated with subjective well-being, while the density of recreational facilities and density of medical facilities are positively associated with subjective well-being [97]. Furthermore, the relationship between green spaces and the mental health of migrants has been extensively studied and various pathways have been proposed.…”

China’s internal migrants suffer from marginalised housing conditions, poor neighbourhood environments and residential segregation, which may have significant implications on health and well-being. Echoing recent calls for interdisciplinary research on migrant health and well-being, this study examines the associations and mechanisms of the impact of the residential environment on the health and well-being of Chinese migrants. We found that most of the relevant studies supported the “healthy migration effect”, but the phenomenon was only applicable to migrants’ self-reported physical health rather than mental health. The subjective well-being of migrants is lower than that of urban migrants. There is a debate between the effectiveness of residential environmental improvements and the ineffectiveness of residential environmental improvements in terms of the impact of the neighbourhood environment on migrants’ health and well-being. Housing conditions and the neighbourhood’s physical and social environment can enhance migrants’ health and well-being by strengthening place attachment and social cohesion, building localised social capital and gaining neighbourhood social support. Residential segregation on the neighbourhood scale affects the health outcomes of migrant populations through the mechanism of relative deprivation. Our studies build a vivid and comprehensive picture of research to understand migration, urban life and health and well-being.

“…The relatively high-value communities are mainly distributed in the core areas of Shanghai's central urban area's comprehensive functions, mainly consisting of affluent communities with a good liveable environment and a complete system of public service facilities. Therefore, residents have a stronger sense of happiness (Brereton et al 2011;Liu et al 2022;Mouratidis, 2022;Dai et al 2023), their enthusiasm for leisure-time physical activities is relatively high, and they participate more frequently (Nguyen et al 2016;Pfeiffer and Cloutier, 2016;Felez-Nobrega et al 2021;Vaquero-Solis et al 2021). The slow communities in the northern, eastern, western, and southern parts of the old city have relatively weak quality built environments, and the comprehensive functions and location levels of the activity environment in these areas are not well developed, which leads to insufficient energy for residents' leisure-time physical activities.…”

In today’s world, creating safe, comfortable, and beautiful slow communities has become an urgent research topic for addressing energy crises, environmental pollution, and traffic congestion. This study explored the relationship between the built environment and residents’ leisure-time physical activities in slow communities in Shanghai. This study uses the analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method to construct a new evaluation model to explore the sustainability mechanism. The results of the study are as follows. First, women participated in walking, jogging, and bicycling activities at a higher rate than men. Second, various leisure-time physical activities have different requirements for the built environment. Third, the built environment of slow communities in Shanghai shows a “pyramid” type of spatial stratification phenomenon. This study contributes to a new evaluation system and optimization model for promoting leisure-time physical activities, providing theoretical and methodological guidance for constructing livable slow communities in developing countries and promoting slow living.

“…Social class identity is the subject’s perception of the position he or she occupies in the social class structure, which in turn constitutes the subjective class position [ 9 ]. Relevant studies show that older people with higher social class identity have higher SWB [ 10 ], and is an important factor affecting the well-being of the elderly [ 11 ]; scholars analyze the reasons for this, firstly, the subjects with higher social class identity are more satisfied with their lives, which can make their SWB at a higher level [ 12 ]; secondly, the groups with higher social class identity have relatively rich social resources compared with lower groups, and have more space for choice and less self-control. choice space and less self-control, thus forming a higher SWB with lower threat sensitivity [ 13 ].…”

Background The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between subjective well-being, social class identity, and Self-rated health among older persons,. Focusing on the mediating role of health and the impact of epidemic infectious diseases on these relationships. Methods Based on the 2018 and 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS) databases, the data were screened, and processed. Using Stata17, we employed ordered probit regression to examine the relationships among variables and Bootstrap methods to assess mediation effects, and the CGSS data for 2018 and 2021 were compared and analyzed. Results Our results revealed that factors such as social class identity, health status, and personal income significantly positively impact older persons’ subjective well-being (P<0.01). Notably, there was a partial mediating effect of health status between the subjective well-being of the elderly and social class identity. And findings showed that when older adults were affected by epidemic diseases, their subjective well-being, social class identity, and Self-rated health remained significantly positively correlated. Subjective well-being, social class identity. What is more noteworthy is that when affected by epidemic infectious diseases, older adults’ subjective well-being, social class identity, and Self-rated health remained significantly positively correlated. The mediating role of self-rated health in older adults’ subjective well-being and social class identity increased from 9.6% to 12.4%. Conclusions In the face of epidemic infectious diseases, we need to pay more attention to the Self-rated health of the elderly, and the Chinese government should take effective measures to improve their health level, which will in turn improve the subjective well-being of the elderly and realize the goal of healthy aging.
