“…Two themes were identified during the process of data extraction. Ten of the included studies were on the theme of environment and well-being [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ], and the remaining five included studies were focused on PA and income/socioeconomic status [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. The studies categorised as “environment and well-being” will be discussed first, followed by the studies on PA and income/socioeconomic status.…”

“…In the first theme, environment and well-being, ten papers were included [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. A study [ 22 ] based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States of America was conducted to explore the relationships between perceptions of neighbourhood environment and sedentary time, as well as between the objective built environment and sedentary time among a population at risk for cardiovascular disease.…”

“…A survey based in the city of Seoul, Korea [ 27 ] investigated walking and perceptions of social capital levels, in order to study use of public spaces in a walking-friendly urban environment. Results indicated that various urban design techniques should be considered (including trees for shelter) to encourage people to walk for leisure and networking opportunities.…”

Background: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has set out guidance for promoting physical activity (PA) in the physical environment to promote health and well-being. The aim of this selective scoping review was to investigate the influence of gross income on accessing local green spaces to engage in PA and the associated health benefits. Methods: A scoping review was conducted of international literature to facilitate the clarification of the research question. Findings: 15 papers were critically appraised under two themes: (1) environments and well-being and (2) PA and income/socioeconomic status and impact on the frequency, duration and opportunity to engage in PA. Interpretation: Income is related to differential use of green and blue spaces for PA, due mainly to access issues. People who live in lower socioeconomic areas tend to be more sedentary and there are also gender differences related to PA in built environments. Conclusion: There is an effect of income in using green spaces for PA, but the relationship is non-linear, and there is still a lack of knowledge about what kind of green spaces are best for health benefits. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of accessing green local spaces to engage in physical exercise to improve well-being among the public.

“…Following systematic scale development procedures, this paper developed and validated a measurement scale to identify LDCW participants’ social interaction, individual development, and environmental understanding experiences. Although walking experience research has been a hot topic in recent years [ 90 , 91 ], a limitation of former research is the lack of quantitative measurements of walkers’ experience from the perspective of well-being and therapeutic benefits. This study bridges this research gap by validating that walking participants generally have rich experiences that enhance their well-being.…”

Perceived Environmental, Individual and Social Factors of Long-Distance Collective Walking in Cities

Long-distance collective walking is a popular activity in cities across China. However, related research is limited, creating a research gap to explore participants’ dynamic experience and related influential factors. Therapeutic mobilities theory explores the relationships among walking, health, and well-being from a qualitative perspective. Based on therapeutic mobilities theory, following a systematic process, this study develops a scale to quantitatively estimate the perceived environmental, personal, and social factors that may influence health and well-being. By applying construal level theory, this paper further hypothesizes that personality traits and familiarity moderate environmental, personal, and social perceptions. Data were collected with a paper survey (n = 926) from the “Shenzhen 100 km Walking” event. The findings highlight that long-distance collective walkers have comparatively greater experiences of health and well-being in three aspects: positive social interaction, individual development, and environmental understanding. Personality traits, familiarity, and gender moderate this well-being experience. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

“…From this perspective, it has been widely explored whether the physical socioecological factors of a neighbourhood affect restorative experience. Natural and built elements in neighbourhoods (e.g., greenness, parks, vegetation, water), walkability, building height, landscape structures (e.g., variability and connectivity of tree patches), and other physical environmental factors are identified to be associated with people’s restorative experience and other health outcomes (Echeverría, Diez‐Roux, Shea, Borrell, & Jackson, 2008; H. Kim & Yang, 2017; Kruizse et al, 2019; Lindal & Hartig, 2013; Taniguchi & Potter, 2016). However, it is still unclear whether social socioecological factors of a neighbourhood would make a difference in restorative experience.…”

Restorative experience refers to an experience of psychophysical restoration from stress and mental fatigue during people-environment interactions. Previous research has documented the influence of neighbourhood physical environment on restorative experiences; however, it is still unclear whether neighbourhood social environment can affect restorative experiences. Applying a socioecological perspective, the current study aims to explore the effect of neighbourhood social cohesion on restorative experience and to examine whether people's need for restoration would moderate this effect. After manipulating the need for restoration in terms of antecedent attentional state, participants (N = 244) with and without the need for restoration read one of three experimental scenarios describing a neighbourhood with high, neutral, or low social cohesion. Participants reported their restorative experience pre-and post-exposure to neighbourhood social cohesion scenarios. Results showed that participants in the high social cohesion neighbourhood condition perceived more post-exposure restorative experience than did those in the neutral or low cohesion conditions. Restorative experience increased from pre-to post-exposure in the high social cohesion condition; the increase was greater for participants with the need for restoration. On the other hand, restorative experience decreased from pre-to post-exposure in the low social cohesion condition for participants without the need for restoration. These findings suggested that a socially cohesive neighbourhood could enhance individuals' restorative experiences and that the strength of this restorative benefit might depend on the need for restoration.
