(2021) found that most parks were located at least a 20-minute walk from participants' homes; however, low park accessibility, availability of benches, and safety were noted as big issues affecting children's mobility.…”

“…(2021) found that most parks were located at least a 20-minute walk from participants' homes; however, low park accessibility, availability of benches, and safety were noted as big issues affecting children's mobility. 28 Another cross-sectional study conducted with parents of children aged 7–12 years (n = 15 families) in New Delhi found that 82% of parents restricted children's independent mobility, with only 46% of parents reporting that they trusted neighbors to keep an eye on children in their absence. 29 The majority of parents (68%) felt that the built environment (i.e., footpaths of sufficient width, traffic) was conducive to children's physical activity.…”

“…Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), other EDI phrases and EDI frameworks [10,12] are increasingly employed in various workplaces including universities to improve the 'social' in the areas of research, education, and general workplace environments for marginalized groups such as women, Indigenous Peoples, visible/racialized minorities, disabled people, and LGBTQ2S+ [12]. Individual EDI terms are engaged with in the academic literature in conjunction with the international documents we investigated for example: "Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" in conjunction with equity [29][30][31][32], equality [33][34][35][36][37], inclusion [38,39] and diversity [40]; "Convention on the Rights of the Child" with equity [41,42] equality [43] inclusion [44] and diversity [45]; "Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women" with equity [46] equality [47] diversity [48] and inclusion [49]; "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" with equity [50] equality [51] inclusion [52] and diversity [53,54]; "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" with equity [55] equality [56] diversity [57] and inclusion [58]; "UN Framework Convention on Climate Change" with equity [59] equality [60] inclusion [61] and diversity [62]; "transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development" with equity…”

The state of the ‘social’ that individuals, social groups and societies experience are a focus of international conventions, declarations and goal setting documents. Many indicators of the ‘social’ and measures of well-being that contain sets of indicators of the ‘social’ exist to ascertain the state of the ‘social’ of individuals, social groups, and societies. Marginalized groups are well known to have problems with the ‘social’ they experience. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and similar phrases are used in policy discussions to deal with ‘social problems’ within research, education, and general workplace environments encountered by women, Indigenous peoples, visible/racialized minorities, disabled people, and LGBTQ2S+. The prevention of the worthening of the ‘social’ is one focus of science and technology governance and ethics discussions. Many health professions are also concerned about the ‘social’ such as the well-being of their clients and their roles as stated by many of their associations include being advocates and change agents. The objective of the study was to ascertain how the ‘social’ is engaged with in conjunction with the following international documents (“Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”, “Convention on the Rights of the Child”, “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women”, “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”, “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, “International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination”, “UN Framework Convention on Climate Change”, “transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development” and “UN flagship report on disability and development Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals by, for and with persons with disabilities”; from now on called “the documents”). A scoping review using the academic databases SCOPUS, Web of Science, databases accessible under Compendex, and the databases accessible under EBSCO-HOST, coupled with a manifest hit-count coding approach was uses to answer five research questions: (1) Which terms, phrases, and measures of the ‘social’ are present in the literature searched (2) Which of the social issues flagged in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) are present in the academic abstracts mentioning the other eight documents? (3) Which EDI frameworks, phrases and social groups covered under EDI are present in the literature covered. (4) Which technologies, science and technology governance terms and ethics fields are present in the literature covered? (5) Which health professions are mentioned in the literature covered? The results reveal vast gaps and opportunities to engage with the ‘social’ in relation to “the documents” covered for all five questions.

“…The relationships remain incongruent for many of these factors, unfortunately. Land-use diversity was shown to promote active travel among children in some research (Das and Banerjee, 2021), while others established weak associations (Yarlagadda and Srinivasan, 2008). Street network design impacts children's AST and children's route choices while walking to school (Han et al, 2021), but its impact has been inconsistent.…”

The purpose of this research is to extend our understanding of children’s walking behavior to school in an understudied region of the world, Istanbul, Turkey. Children (aged 11–17) and their parents were surveyed to comprehend subjective and objective factors on walking behavior to school when alone or with someone. Using participatory mapping and GIS, a route detour index was first created to highlight differences in walking behaviors. A robust spatial analysis, consisting of spatial statistics and a hierarchical spatial error model, then signified important survey responses, urban design factors from space syntax, and neighborhood composition and contextual variables on between-group route choices. Empirical and geovisual analysis confirmed that accompanied children deviated more from GIS shortest routes to school than their unaccompanied peers, and “hot-spot” analysis showed it was dependent on where children reside. The spatial error models exhibited notable relations among route choice, children’s age, health, and gender. Parent attitudes concerning greenspace positively affected children’s longer route choices, while street connectivity had the opposite influence. Surprisingly, neighborhood walkability did not impact children’s route choice decisions for either group. The results provide new insights on how to encourage additional walking trips to school.
