“…Active participation in sports and fitness activities can not only meet the needs of the elderly for daily exercise but also create more opportunities and platforms for the elderly to get in touch with society and play a role in entertaining the body and mind and improving the quality of spiritual life [13]. Therefore, the elderly friendly design of small-and medium-sized gymnasiums can not only play a role in improving the lives of the elderly but also is an important symbol of the continuous development of urban sports culture, which will, to a certain extent, change the spiritual outlook of urban residents and enhance the sports culture atmosphere of the city [14].…”

Cold cities will cause a lot of inconvenience for the elderly to travel and exercise due to their low temperature, snowfall, freezing, and other climatic characteristics. On the basis of theoretical support, this paper firstly analyzes the physical, psychological, and behavioral characteristics of the elderly in cold cities and their impact on the design of small- and medium-sized sports venues from the physical needs of the elderly in cold cities. Secondly, based on architectural theory, combined with the research results of aging sociology, behavioral sociology, sports sociology, and other disciplines, combined with a large number of literature, examples, and practical research data, this paper summarizes the problems faced by middle-aged and elderly people in cold cities, constraints, advantages, and motivations for age-friendly design and problems in construction.

“…Roadside jogging is one of the typical behaviors of roadside pedestrians (43,44), and getting too close to the road is more susceptible to traffic-related PM2.5 emissions. To explore the impact of traffic emissions on the fitness activities of residents on the PM2.5, this paper calculated the PM2.5 inhalation during jogging activities in different functional areas at different times of the working day.…”

Numerous studies shown that particulate matter in the ambient environment has a significant impact on the health of the respiratory system. To understand the interrelationships between urban built environment, transportation operations and health, this study proposes an innovative approach that uses real-world GPS datasets to calculate energy consumption and emissions from transportation. The experiment used the traffic operation state in the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing as the research object and tested the impact of using the Regional speed optimization (RSO) strategy based on Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) on energy consumption and emissions during peak hours. The impact of traffic emission on the health of roadside pedestrians is also considered. Changes in PM2.5 concentrations around four different built-up areas were calculated and compared. The computational experiments indicate that the PM2.5 pollutants exhausted by the traffic on the Ring Road during peak hours can reach up to 250 μg/m3, while the traffic emission on general roads near residential areas is only 50 μg/m3. Adopting Regional speed optimization can reduce the energy consumption of the road network by up to 18.8%. For roadside runners, the PM2.5 inhalation caused by night running in commercial and recreational areas is about 1.3-2.6 times that of night running in residential areas. Compared with morning or night running, the risk of respiratory disease caused by PM2.5 inhalation was about 10.3% higher than commuter running behavior. The research results provide a useful reference for energy conservation and emission reduction control strategies for different road types in cities and help existing cities to establish a traveler health evaluation system caused by traffic operation.

“…World Health Organization research shows that the influence of personal behavior and lifestyle accounts for about 60% (the highest) of their health [2]. In recent studies, walking has been defined as a healthy physical activity suitable for different ages, different athletic abilities, and different exercise goals, which could promote social communication, avoid obesity, and enhance immunity [3,4]. Relevant data shows that outdoor jogging (78.0%) and walking/hiking (60.6%) are the main daily activities of sports lovers.…”

A Framework of Community Pedestrian Network Design Based on Urban Network Analysis

Community is the foundation of modern cities, where urban residents spend most of their lifetime. Effective and healthy community design plays a vital role in improving residents’ living quality. Pedestrian network is an indispensable element in the community. Successful pedestrian network design can help the residents be healthy both physically and mentally, build the awareness of “Go Green” for the society, and finally contribute to low-carbon and green cities. This paper proposes a community pedestrian network design method based on Urban Network Analysis with the help of the Rhino software. A case study of a typical community in Guangzhou, China was implemented, specifying the steps of the proposed method. The findings presented include the features of the citizens and the accessibilities of the neighbors that are obtained from the community pedestrian network simulation. The limitation and scalability of this method was discussed. The proposed method can be essential to designing healthy and sustainable communities.
