“…Leisure involvement refers to the continual involvement and participation in a certain thing that the individual feels is important mainly due to personal needs, interests, and viewpoints [ 70 ]. The higher the degree of leisure involvement, the deeper the self-involvement and the better the attention focus on leisure is [ 71 ]. The better the leisure behavior and performance, the happier one can feel [ 72 ], which is helpful for personal physical, and mental health, thus producing a feeling of happiness [ 71 , 72 ].…”

The better the leisure behavior and performance, the happier one can feel [ 72 ], which is helpful for personal physical, and mental health, thus producing a feeling of happiness [ 71 , 72 ]. Scholars thus believe that leisure involvement can be divided into behavioral involvement and social involvement [ 73 ]; these dimensions can be defined based on people’s behaviors and attitudes.…”

“…First, the quantitative research method was used to supplement the research breadth [ 68 ], and then the qualitative research method was used to increase the depth of the research [ 69 ], which can atone for the shortcomings of research method or theory [ 68 ]. Therefore, for this study, first, the relevant literature was referred to [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 ], the questionnaire tool was edited, and then three experts were invited to check the content validity. After the amendment, 100 questionnaires were collected in June 2021, analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software, and confirmed as the official questionnaire tool.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of river improvement and greening projects on people and the urban happiness index. First, the quantitative method was adopted, and data collected from 734 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Then, the qualitative method was used, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the opinions of 12 interviewees, including scholars, government employees, citizens, and practitioners. Finally, we discuss multiple comparison analysis testing. The survey results indicate that river improvement and greening projects could be conducted to take advantage of diverse ecological environments, urban transportation planning, and geographical location. Such projects can help people relieve stress, even during the COVID-19 pandemic; improve their physical and mental health; and enhance their environmental awareness. However, due to poor traffic flow, a low space utilization rate, and inflexible management practices, visiting these environments has posed a risk of infection. As a result, most respondents indicated that the leisure benefits of green fields are limited and not helpful for improving their physical and mental health or having fun. Additionally, survey responses by people from different backgrounds (p < 0.01) varied. Therefore, we believe that by providing a safe living environment, strengthening disaster prevention skills and cooperation against epidemics, reducing accident risks, improving leisure safety and fluency, and planning diverse leisure activities, we can improve people’s perception of environmental experiences, promote leisure participation, improve leisure satisfaction, and enhance well-being.

“…The quality of the journey is an essential factor in fostering walkability; path network quality and walking experience quality are also important (Jaskiewicz, 2000;Xu, Yuan, & Li, 2019). Southworth (2005) Jaskiewicz (2000) goes into further detail about the importance of journey quality.…”

Walkability is considered a critical factor that has shaped pre-industrial cities, and today it is promoted as the central element to achieve sustainable urban design and resilient communities. This paper aims to identify walkability profiles specific to Brisbane, Australia, one of the Australasian region's fastestgrowing cities. The study seeks to understand if the specific urban conditions of Brisbane impact people's attitude towards walking. Data on Brisbane walkability have been collected through a quantitative methodology; findings reveal that Brisbane pedestrians walk an average of 28-35 minutes daily, covering a maximum of 3.3 kilometers. The research also indicates that age is not a critical factor influencing walking times or distances and that the movement speed for distances below 10 kilometers is comparable to the average of other transport modes (car and public transport). This research is a pilot study to understand Brisbane's walkability and to inform future research on sustainable urban design in the region.

“…Cycling is becoming increasingly popular not only as transportation mode but also as a leisure and health promotion. Xu, Yuan, and Li (2019) discuss the reasons why people choose to ride a bicycle, how they benefit from bicycle-based leisure activities, and how their happiness is improved. Based on survey analysis, it reveals that leisure benefits are positively affected by cycling motivation and both cycling motivation and leisure benefits have a positive impact on well-being.…”
