Toward a Healthy Urban Living Environment: Assessing 15-Minute Green-Blue Space Accessibility

Dong Liu et al.

Summary: Exposure to green-blue space is linked with better physical and mental health. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, it is important for people to have access to green-blue spaces near their homes. The implementation of the 15-min concept aims to bring green-blue spaces closer to where people live. However, the social and spatial inequality in 15-min green-blue space accessibility in cities like Hong Kong is not well understood. This study examines walking and cycling accessibility to green-blue spaces within 15 minutes in Hong Kong to identify disadvantaged neighborhoods.

The x-minute city: Measuring the 10, 15, 20-minute city and an evaluation of its use for sustainable urban design

T. M. Logan et al.

Summary: Cities worldwide aspire to become 10, 15, or 20-minute cities, aiming to reduce car dependence and promote sustainable and healthy urban design by encouraging walking and cycling. However, there is a lack of clear guidance on evaluating progress towards this goal. This paper compares measurement approaches and discusses key considerations for planners adopting the x-minute city goal.

Change in walking steps and association with built environments during the COVID-19 state of emergency: A longitudinal comparison with the first half of 2019 in Yokohama, Japan

Kimihiro Hino et al.

Summary: A state of emergency was declared in Japan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the step counts of citizens, especially women and non-elderly individuals. Older women were more susceptible to the neighborhood environment, with high walkability negatively affecting step counts, while proximity to large parks had a positive effect during the state of emergency.

The stationarity bias in research on the environmental determinants of health

Mei-Po Kwan

Summary: The assumption of stationarity in research on environmental determinants of health suggests that the relationships between environmental factors and health impacts are stable over space and time. However, these relationships may vary with changes in space, time, and the values of environmental factors. Studies have shown that violating this assumption can lead to misleading conclusions with potential serious consequences for health and policy. Embracing nonstationarity may lead researchers to discover overlooked factors or processes that can enhance understanding of the phenomena under investigation.

How do people perceive the disclosure risk of maps? Examining the perceived disclosure risk of maps and its implications for geoprivacy protection

Junghwan Kim et al.

Summary: This study found that the perceived disclosure risk of a map increases as the amount of locational information displayed on the map increases. Different geolocation masking methods, map scales, and the presence of other people's information on the map all impact the perceived disclosure risk. The research results have important implications for developing geoprivacy protection guidelines and mapping infectious diseases.
