“…As part of the physical activity education, the HTC should identify barriers to participation including parenting practices and access to outdoor play space. The built environment is the “human made space in which people live, work, and recreate on a day‐to‐day basis.” The availability and upkeep of the built environment may impact participation in physical activities . Families may be scared to send their children out to play or may not be aware of accessible resources.…”

“…However, several studies have indicated a discrepancy between actual physical distance and the known distance [8,47]. Consequently, numerous researchers prefer to set proximity thresholds in terms of time, ranging from 5 min (400 m) to 30 min (2400 m) as the ideal distance for walking [48,49], or to measure proximity according to territorial delimitations such as communities or districts (1200-1600 m) [48,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56], smaller areas such as neighbourhoods, not exceeding 10 min walking time [49,[57][58][59][60] or according to "activity areas" [61].

Since Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenesis theory and Morgan and Ziglio’s health assets model were first proposed, there has been a growing concern to define the resources available to the individual and the community to maintain or improve health and well-being. The aim of the present study was to identify the dimensions that characterise community assets for health. To this end, we conducted a systematised review with a meta-synthesis and content analysis of research or projects involving asset mapping in the community. Articles that met our eligibility criteria were: (1) based on the salutogenic approach and (2) described an assets mapping process and among their results, explained what, how and why particular community assets for health had been selected. The search included primary studies in the published and grey literature which were selected from websites and electronic databases (Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Dialnet, SciELO). Of the 607 records examined by a single reviewer, 34 were included in the content analysis and 14 in the qualitative synthesis. Using an inductive process, we identified 14 dimensions with 24 categories, for which in-depth literature reviews were then carried out to define specific indicators and items. These dimensions were: utility, intention, previous use, accessibility (“circumstances–opportunity–affordability”), proximity-walkability, connectivity, intelligibility (visibility, transparency), identity (uniqueness, appropriability, attachment), design (configuration, functionality, comfort), safety (objective/subjective), diversity, the dimension of public and private, and sustainability (which includes maintenance, profitability or economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, centrality-participation and equity-inclusiveness).

“…Based on their perceptions about neighborhood food and physical activity environment, parents usually decide whether their child is allowed to play outside, walk or cycle to school, use neighborhood recreational facilities, and where to purchase foods [9]. For example, parental concerns about traffic safety and crime were associated with less time playing outdoors in primary school children [10][11][12].…”

“…A meta-analysis reported that high levels of crime were associated with a reduction in children's physical activity by 0.13 h per week [13]. Another study reported a positive association between parents' perceptions about greater availability and better condition of playgrounds and children's higher physical activity during leisure time [9] while a US study showed that greater parental satisfaction with the food shopping environment was associated with higher consumption of fruits and vegetables among 3-7 year-olds [14]. Furthermore, parents' satisfaction with the local food environment may affect home food availability and, consequently, what they feed their children [15][16][17].…”

Associations between Neighborhood Deprivation Index, Parent Perceptions and Preschooler Lifestyle Behaviors

Parental perceptions and use of neighborhood facilities are important factors that are related to children’s dietary intake and physical activity. The aim of this study was to examine the association between neighborhood deprivation index, parents’ perceptions of their neighborhood environment, and healthy/unhealthy markers of child dietary intake, physical activity, and TV screen time. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Dublin, Ireland. The lifestyle behaviors among children and parental perceptions of their neighborhood environment were reported by the parents of 276 children aged 3–5 years by using parent-completed questionnaires. Deprivation index was assessed using the geographic information system (GIS). Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression, adjusting for socio-demographic confounders. In adjusted models, high deprivation index was associated with parental perception of the neighborhood as unsafe for walking and cycling due to crime (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.04–2.43, p = 0.031) and children’s low engagement in structured physical activity (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.17–0.72, p = 0.004). Parental perceptions of an unsafe neighborhood due to heavy traffic were negatively correlated with children’s active play (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.55–0.95, p = 0.022). Children whose parents reported high satisfaction with the number of local sit-in and takeaway restaurants were 41% more likely to consume confectionary/sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) weekly. In this age group, parents play an important role in children’s lifestyle behaviors; therefore, a better understanding of parents’ perceptions and their use of neighborhood facilities could contribute to creating a healthy environment for this age group.
