“…Multiple shared locations and the associated enhanced public familiarity may be particularly important in facilitating social interaction and exchange (Curley 2010; Gehl 2011). Frequent encounters across multiple locations enhance the sense of a common routine activity pattern and may increase the likelihood of active engagement (i.e., superficial verbal interaction).…”

Drawing on the social disorganization tradition and the social ecological perspective of Jane Jacobs, the authors hypothesize that neighborhoods composed of residents who intersect in space more frequently as a result of routine activities will exhibit higher levels of collective efficacy, intergenerational closure, and social network interaction and exchange. They develop this approach employing the concept of ecological networks—two-mode networks that indirectly link residents through spatial overlap in routine activities. Using data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, they find evidence that econetwork extensity (the average proportion of households in the neighborhood to which a given household is tied through any location) and intensity (the degree to which household dyads are characterized by ties through multiple locations) are positively related to changes in social organization between 2000–2001 and 2006–2008. These findings demonstrate the relevance of econetwork characteristics—heretofore neglected in research on urban neighborhoods—for consequential dimensions of neighborhood social organization.

“…En el caso del nuevo urbanismo, 1 los espacios para la vegetación local y para el hábitat de los animales son los ingredientes esenciales de la planeación urbana. Hoy en día los espacios públicos cumplen importantes funciones urbanas: lugar de recreo y ocio para la población de todas las edades y estratos sociales, área para juego, actividad física e intercambio social (Curley, 2010;Ward, 2013;Witten, Hiscock, Pearce y Blakely, 2008).…”

El derecho urbanístico es un tema prioritario de los estudios urbanos que permite el análisis de la intervención del Estado en las características del desarrollo urbano. Los espacios públicos de recreación con vegetación en las ciudades ofrecen amplios beneficios ambientales y sociales a los habitantes. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar y analizar las leyes, reglamentos y programas de desarrollo urbano que se vinculan a la presencia y conservación de las áreas verdes y arboladas en los espacios públicos recreativos de Mérida, Yucatán, cuyos enunciados, competencias, lagunas y contradicciones pueden favorecer o restringir la presencia de dichos espacios.

“…Neighborhood resources: Neighborhood physical resources, such as libraries and parks, have been found to contribute to healthy development (Anthony & Nicotera, 2008) and play a role in shaping observations and interactions with other residents (Curley, 2010). Four items asking about the availability or presence of: (a) sidewalks or walking paths, (b) parks of playgrounds, (c) recreation, community center, or clubs, and (d) library or bookmobile were used as indicators of the latent construct of neighborhood resources.…”

Data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health were used to examine a model of the ways in which neighborhood structural characteristics and social processes (NSCSP) impact children's (age = 6-11; N = 27,752) and adolescents ' (age = 12-17; N = 36,233) social adjustment and school engagement via parenting and family processes (i.e., parent-child interactions).The questions investigated were: how are distinct aspects of NSCSP associated with parental stress and well-being, and with youth social adjustment and school engagement? Are parental stress and well-being linked with family processes, and are family processes predictive of youth social adjustment and school engagement? Finally, does age moderate the associations linking NSCSP to developmental outcomes via parenting stress and well-being and family processes? Results from a multigroup structural equation model supported the general nature of hypothesized relationships: distinct aspects of NSCSP were differentially predictive of children and adolescents' social adjustment and school engagement. Furthermore, the direct effects of NSCSP were mediated (some partially and others completely) by parenting stress and well-being and family processes. Finally, age moderated the effects of social cohesion on both social adjustment and school engagement; as well, age moderated the effects of parenting stress and well-being on family processes, and on the effects of family processes on social adjustment and school engagement.
