“…While most existing protocols measuring PA focuses on people's physical health in communities, this paper describes the development and functionality of SOSIP for systematically assessing social interaction with urban outdoor environment to inform mental and psychological health benefits in urban outdoor environment. Affected by the COVID-pandemic, outdoor social activities have become increasingly valuable for helping urban residents find relief from the pressures from work and daily routines, leading to improved physical and psychological health, thus reducing mortality risks ( Corley et al, 2021 ; Mintz et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2022 ). Compared to the other types of urban outdoor environment, the combination of nearby nature benefits found from visiting park and green space has been indicated crucial in promoting social relations ( Jennings & Bamkole, 2019 ; Shanahan et al, 2016 ) and support people's physical and psychological well-being by providing various ecosystem services ( Pinto et al, 2022 ; Zhou & Parves Rana, 2012 ).…”

“…Furthermore, 12 studies (20%) examined the transportation modalities associated with the utilization of urban river corridors. The majority of these studies consistently reported that walking is the predominant mode of transportation for individuals accessing urban river corridors (Gong et al, 2019;Ouyang & Wu,2023;Xie et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2022). Other modes of transportation were found, including public transportation, private vehicles, sightseeing buses, and multi-bikes (Liu et al, 2023;Othman et al, 2021;Völker & Kistemann,2013;Zhang et al, 2022b).…”

River corridors, acknowledged as "blue-green infrastructure," have gained increasing attention due to their potential benefits on individual quality of life and social well-being in urban areas. However, there remains a lack of a comprehensive synthesis of evidence through a systematic literature review on the usage and associated constraints of urban river corridors. The paper aims to systematically review those attributes that influence the usage of urban river corridors and to analyse their complex interactions from a socio-ecological perspective. Results comprise an overview of the reviewed literature, including authorship, journal, geographical distribution, sample characteristics, data collection and analysis methods, and critical findings. Fifty-nine peer-reviewed papers published between 2012 and 2023 met the authors' inclusion criteria. The findings highlight the significant influence of individual, social, and physical factors on the usage of urban river corridors. Additionally, time reason also impact users' decisions regarding the usage of urban river corridors. Finally, a conceptual framework was proposed to guide urban planners, designers, and policymakers in enhancing urban river corridors' design and management standards, ultimately creating a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive leisure space catering to diverse needs.

“…Interactions between the 500 m buffer and cycling routes could provide locations for these signs. Furthermore, reducing the barriers around park entrances will help people recognize parks visually [57]. The feelings produced on the way to the park, such as insecurity or a fear of injury, can also affect one's willingness to enter.…”

Public sports facilities have the potential to improve their functions as active living infrastructures (ALIs) in combination with bicycle lanes and green spaces. A favorable sequence of exercise intensities in different scenes is important for individuals to take physical activity scientifically. Our research aimed to explore the feasibility of promoting and consolidating this sequence using reasonable daily exercise routes concatenated by public sports facilities, green spaces, and bicycle lanes. Taking 25 major public sports facilities in Nanjing as an example, we obtained the cycling routes from open-source data and delineated the facilities’ cycling catchment areas to assess the coordination of bicycle lanes and facilities. Further, we evaluated the potential interactions between facilities and green spaces by checking the spatial intersections between park entrances and the above routes. The results revealed that with the integration of bicycle lanes, public sports facilities could provide services to most residential areas, and potential interactions between the facilities and parks existed already. Therefore, it was feasible to design reasonable daily exercise routes coupled with the existing facility layout. Moreover, the service gaps and potential interactions were affected by the layout of the facilities, the density of the bicycle lanes, the configuration of green spaces, and the official planning proposals. This research advances the understanding of how public sports facilities can be pivotal to the cooperation of ALIs with other infrastructures.
