“…Considering that long-term residents are important to social sustainability [17,36], the study by Kan [35] indicates social capital as a possible contributing factor. A similar empirical result showed that social capital has a positive impact on social sustainability [37]. Theoretical studies in the field of urban policy also speculate that social capital can influence social sustainability.…”

“…Both the physical (built) and socioeconomic neighborhood environment can influence inhabitants' daily lives and their behaviors. To the same extent, people have different social interactions according to different environments [24,37,44]. People tend to interact more or less [17,24] or have a different kind of social relationship [24].…”

“…In terms of social equity, the key emerging concept of precedent studies [32,33,46], spatial planning can affect accessibility to essential services or facilities, jobs, and so on. In terms of well-being or happiness, which are emerging concepts in social sustainability [10], neighborhood built environment factors, such as amenity or maintenance, can be influential [34,37]. Conclusively, neighborhood built environment directly affects social capital and affects social sustainability both directly and indirectly.…”

This study investigates the theoretical causal relationships among neighborhood built environments, social capital and social sustainability using structural equation modeling (SEM), through a case study in Seoul, Korea. The dataset consisted of responses from a questionnaire survey completed by 500 respondents. Neighborhood built environments were also objectively measured by GIS analysis, using a 250-m buffer based on the home addresses of the respondents. A total of four latent variables of the neighborhood physical environments were used in the model: perceived neighborhood environment, characteristics of the residential area, land use diversity and accessibility to parks and sport facilities. Respondents' demographic and socioeconomic characteristics were also considered in the model. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a statistically significant causal relationship among neighborhood physical environment, social capital and social sustainability. The results also suggest that neighborhood-level spatial and non-spatial factors can influence the formation of social capital that affects social sustainability. Moreover, this result indicates the possibility that urban spatial planning can play a critical role in social issues.

“…The social health-related variables were the social activity level, including frequency of social activity, perception of social trust, networks, reciprocity, and social participation among local residents. Only three studies examined the relationship between the BE and social health [25,42,43] and two studies [42,43], in particular, included more social health variables (Table 3).…”

This systematic review aimed to examine the associations between health-related outcomes and the built environment (BE) characteristics of compact metropolitan cities in Korea using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. Searching the three Korean academic databases and PubMed, two independent reviewers identified 27 empirical articles published between 2011 and 2016. Data extracted for review included the study characteristics, the variables and measurement methods related to the BE and health-related outcomes, and the findings on the associations between the BE characteristics and health-related outcomes. Vote counting was used to assess the consistency of associations and the direction of associations between the BE characteristics and health-related outcomes. All of the reviewed studies used cross-sectional designs. The objective BE qualities were commonly examined. The BE characteristics associated with health-related outcomes in the reviewed articles included land use, street environment, transportation infrastructure, green and open spaces, and neighborhood facilities. Street environment, transportation infrastructure, and green and open spaces had consistent positive associations with physical health. Mixed land use and neighborhood facilities, however, had inconsistent associations with physical health. Generally, insufficient findings were reported in the association between the BE characteristics and mental and social health. The accessibility of the BE in a compact urban environment was the prominent attribute related to health promotion, health challenges, and health equity. An international comparative analysis of compact cities with different urban contexts and scale is required. Interdisciplinary urban health strategies are recommended based on the associations between the BE characteristics and health-related outcomes.
