“…These two factors were rated as present, somewhat present, or absent. We recognize that actual and potential accessibility can differ 18 , and attempted to build our rubric in ways that captured actual accessibility. The access score could be scored from 0-2 at one half intervals.…”

Urban green spaces have long been studied in terms of their impact on human and environmental health and well-being. We collected and analyzed preliminary survey data for central New Jersey municipalities relating to participants' perceptions of public green spaces, quality, and usage and relating these factors to environmental knowledge and literacy. Results have yielded new insights into the role of urban canopy cover in differing levels of environmental literacy. Included in this, persons living in areas with higher canopy cover have higher levels of environmental literacy (p=0.0338) and higher educational attainment (p=0.049). Persons with access to higher quality parks also exhibited higher levels of educational attainment (p=0.0475). This relationship and others collectively would support there being multiple types of environmental literacy, with diverse sources, impacts, and outcomes on individuals and communities. Work done to this point has not addressed this idea, nor sought to study the connections between EL and all influencing socio-cultural and landscape factors.

“…Different types of accessibility were separated because studies (Dai 2011) indicate that accessibility to some destinations has a stronger influence on people's walking behavior compared with other destinations. The traditional walk score does not separate different types of accessibility, but provides a score that weighs them equally.…”

Abstract:Due to the impact of urban sprawl, the need for responsible property investing, and the emerging evidence supporting the linkage between walkable environment (in terms of built environment and walk accessibility) and residential property value, there is a critical need to develop systematic methodologies to quantify the impact of walkable environment on residential property value. This study provides a new generalized dissimilarity index for quantifying landuse mix, a key component of built environment, and a new method for measuring a property's walk accessibility and then links them to residential property values. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models are used to validate these methods by examining the empirical property data in Eastern Adelaide, Australia. The results of the OLS models show that the proposed dissimilarity index and property walkaccessibility method outperform other commonly used land-use mix quantification and walk-accessibility methods in estimating singlefamily residential property values in terms of the goodness-of-fit and explanatory power. This study provides insights for investors to understand the impact of walkable environment on single-family residential property values to enable them to make more informed decisions on property investment, and for planners to design neighborhoods featuring better walkable environments.

“…Entre los beneficios sociales, los parques públicos contribuyen a la salud de las poblaciones por el hecho de que pueden influir en la actividad física de los individuos (Ward, 2013;Dai, 2011;Witten et al, 2008;Pikora et al, 2003;Lopez-Zetina et al, 2006). Vivir en lugares con espacios abiertos, áreas verdes y ambientes naturales aumenta la motivación de la gente por emplear su tiempo libre fuera de casa en actividades físicamente activas, tales como caminar, correr y andar en bicicleta (De Vries et al, 2003;Witten et al, 2008;Lopez-Zetina et al, 2006;Diez et al, 2007).…”

“…Existe una amplia literatura internacional que aborda el tema de la accesibilidad a diferentes espacios urbanos como elemento primordial del bienestar de los individuos, y como una condición de justicia e inclusión social, participación y compromiso público (Stanley, 2012;Dai, 2011;Comber et al, 2012;Lotfi y Koohsari, 2009). En el Reino Unido la inclusión de la accesibilidad es primordial en la proposición de reformas estructurales fundamentales entre Estado y sociedad (Cabinet Office, 2010).…”
