“…Environment encompasses natural environment and built environment, the built environment is defined as encompassing all buildings, spaces, and products that are created or modified by people ( 14 ). Factors within this domain include population density, the availability of green spaces, access to food stores, and the connectivity of streets ( 95 ).…”

BackgroundSensitive skin (SS) is a condition characterized by hyperreactivity. Impacting around 37 percent of the worldwide population and exerting an influence on the quality of life for affected individuals. Its prevalence rate has increased due to factors such as elevating stress levels and deteriorating environmental conditions. The exposome factors influencing SS have extended from demographic, biological attributes, and lifestyle to external environments. Built environments (BEs) have demonstrated as root drivers for changes in behaviors and environmental exposure which have the potential to trigger SS, but the review of the associations between BEs and SS is currently lacking.ObjectiveThis review aims to achieve two primary objectives: (1) Examine exposome factors that exert influence on SS at the individual and environmental levels. (2) Develop a theoretical framework that establishes a connection between BEs and SS, thereby offering valuable insights into the impact of the built environment on this condition.MethodsAn extensive literature search was carried out across multiple fields, including sociology, epidemiology, basic medicine, clinical medicine, and environmental research, with a focus on SS. To identify pertinent references, renowned databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI were utilized.ResultsSS is the outcome of interactions between individual attributes and environmental factors. These influencing factors can be categorized into five distinct classes: (1) demographic and socioeconomic characteristics including age, gender, and race; (2) physiological and biological attributes such as emotional changes, skin types, sleep disorders, and menstrual cycles in women; (3) behavioral factors, such as spicy diet, cosmetic use, alcohol consumption, and physical exercise; (4) natural environmental features, including climate conditions and air pollution; (5) built environmental features such as population density, green space availability, road network density, and access to public transportation, also have the potential to affect the condition.ConclusionThe importance of interdisciplinary integration lies in its ability to ascertain whether and how BEs are impacting SS. By elucidating the role of BEs in conjunction with other factors in the onset of SS, we can provide guidance for future research endeavors and the formulation of interventions aimed at mitigating the prevalence of SS.

“…For the factors influencing human perception in the urban built environment, some research indicates that areas with high floor space index and mixed urban functions can increase the visual burden on individuals, leading to heightened feelings of tension [45]. Other studies suggest a positive correlation between open space, green landscapes in the city, and people's positive emotions [46]. Additionally, factors such as building height, road network density, and population density also have a certain impact on human perception [47].…”

The utilization of Social Media Data (SMD) from location-based services offers a wealth of information to analyze changes in human emotional perception influenced by high-density built environments. This study aimed to examine the impact of high-density built environment factors on human emotion perception. First, a set of indicators for high-density built environments was established. Subsequently, Natural Language Processing (NLP) was employed to analyze SMD for sentiment identification and classification. Finally, the Multi-scale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) model was utilized to investigate the spatial differentiation of human emotional perception in high-density built environments. The findings revealed that positive emotions display spatial variations in high-density built environments. Additionally, positive emotions were found to be influenced by multiple variables, with different variables simultaneously affecting individuals’ positive emotions. Specific built environment indicators showed positive correlations with Open Space Ratio (OSR), Green Space Ratio (GSR), POI Functional Density (PFD), and Road Network Density (RND), while negative correlations with Floor Space Index (FSI), Ground Space Index (GSI), Building Average Layer (BAL), Water Index (WI), and Space Syntax Integration (SSI) were observed. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), POI Functional Mixture (PFM), Space Syntax Choice (SSC), and Population Density (PD) exhibited mixed results in different spatial contexts. This research on human perception provides insights for refined urban design and governance, addressing the limitations of top-down approaches in dense urban renewal.

“…Numerous aspects influence the success of an age-friendly city. These aspects have been discussed in some studies, including the availability of parks and places to spend time apart (Figueiredo et al, 2023), suitable and age-friendly housing for the elderly (Wu et al, 2022), the provision of health care and access to health-therapeutic uses (Thang et al, 2023), community support and social engagement (Shi et al, 2023), and others. Physical limits affect people as they age.…”

One of the most important goals of urban management is to provide comfort and well-being for all citizens. According to the population trend of the world, a massive segment of the future population will be the elderly. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to the needs of this segment of society. In this regard, the concept of an age-friendly city that provides a favorable urban environment for the elderly has entered the world’s scientific literature. Because one of the essential land utilization that the elderly have a lot of connection with is health-therapeutic use, the current research has been carried out to evaluate the current health-treatment situation of Songhor city in terms of its usefulness for the elderly. In the second step, the most important drivers influencing the location of these uses have been identified from the perspective of related experts. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The required data has been collected using library-documentary studies, field surveys, and the distribution of questionnaires from related experts. According to the study’s findings, more than 60% of treatment facilities in Songhor city are inaccessible to the elderly. This difficulty varies by therapeutic use; in some cases, it is less difficult than the average, while in others, it is more difficult. In addition, three factors–investment cost (V3), rivalry (V10), and population density (V8)–have been identified as the age-friendly city’s main drivers out of a total of 18 main variables. The study’s findings indicate that the global population is aging, and urban managers and officials should design urban environments following the requirements of the projected population by putting forth medium- and long-term plans.
