Cyclists’ Multiple Environmental Urban Exposures—Comparing Subjective and Objective Measurements

et al. 2019

Citizens in urban areas are exposed to multiple environmental stressors like noise, heat, and air pollution, with impact on human health. There is a great deal of evidence that connects human health, objective environmental exposure, and place of residence. However, little is known about subjective and objective multiple personal exposures while being mobile. To address this research gap, this paper presents results from a mixed-methods exploratory study with cyclists in the City of Leipzig, Germany. In the summer of 2017, cyclists (n = 66) wore a unique combination of sensors that measured particle number counts (PNC), noise, humidity, temperature, geolocation, and the subjective perception of each exposure on everyday routes for one week (n = 730). A smartphone application was developed to question participants about their perception of subjective exposure. The data were analyzed with three aims: (i) to compare the multiple exposure profiles of the cyclists, (ii) to contrast the objective data and subjective individual perception, and (iii) to examine the role of route decision-making and awareness of health impacts for healthier route choices. The results indicate distinct differences between the exposure profiles of cyclists. Over 80% of the cyclists underestimated their exposure to noise and air pollution. Except for heat, no significant associations between the objective and subjective data were found. This reveals an exposure awareness gap that needs to be considered in urban health planning and risk communication. It is argued that knowledge about health impacts and route characteristics plays a crucial role in decision-making about route choices. The paper concludes with suggestions to harness smart sensing for exposure mitigation and research in health geography.

“…Orang tua sangat menentukan keberhasilan tindakan mitigasi sebagai akibat pencemaran timbel di udara. Persepsi setiap individu masyarakat dan partisipasinya menjadi bagian penting dalam peningkatan kualitas lingkungan yang melibatkan masyarakat (Adi & Rahdriawan, 2016;Nikolopoulou, Kleissl, Linden, & Lykoudis, 2011;Van Lippevelde et al, 2011).

“…Bahkan menurut Mandasari & Maesaroh (2016) adanya partisipasi dapat menjadi penghargaan dan pengakuan/eksistensi di masyarakat. Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat akan tercermin dalam persepsinya memvisualisasikan kondisi pencemaran yang terjadi (Nikolopoulou et al, 2011). Penelitian terkait survei persepsi masyarakat juga dilakukan oleh Omanga, Ulmer, Berhane, & Gatari (2014) yang menyatakan bahwa persepsi responden mencapai 80% yang mengganggap pencemaran udara di sekitar kawasan industri mempunyai risiko dan bahaya yang tinggi bagi kesehatan masyarakat…”

Lead pollution (Pb) as a negative impact of battery smelting has adverse effect on human health. Children are at the greatest risk as a result of the lead pollution. Involvement of parents in carrying out mitigation efforts to reduce the impact of air pollution is important to be improved. This study aims to determine perception, participation, and factors affecting the parents of the students in mitigating the impact of lead pollution. The respondents of the study using survey methods are parents of the students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Baitussa'adah, Curug, Tangerang. Data were analyzed by using the Likert scale, scoring, and logit regression analysis. Data were collected from 174 respondents. Result from Likert analysis showed that in general the parents of the students had a good understanding related to the lead pollution in the air. The majority or 69% of the respondents have a moderate level of participation in mitigating the effects of lead pollution in the air. Furthermore, the research results also showed that the willingness of the community to carry out mitigation actions was influenced by family income, knowledge on lead pollution, as well as length of time for activities carried out outside the home. Mitigation actions against lead pollution need to be done by the community, especially by the parents of the students. ABSTRAKPencemaran logam berat timbel (Pb) di udara sebagai dampak negatif adanya peleburan aki bekas mempunyai pengaruh buruk bagi kesehatan manusia. Anak-anak mendapat risiko paling besar sebagai akibat pencemaran tersebut. Peran orang tua dalam melakukan upaya mitigasi pengurangan dampak pencemaran udara menjadi hal yang penting untuk ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi dan partisipasi orang tua siswa dalam aktivitas mitigasi dampak pencemaran timbel di udara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan responden yang merupakan orang tua siswa Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Baitussa'adah, Curug, Tangerang. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan skala Likert, scoring, dan analisis statistik regresi logit (logit regression analysis). Informasi berhasil dihimpun dari174 responden. Berdasarkan hasil analisis Likert didapatkan informasi bahwa secara umum orang tua dari siswa MI Baitussa'adah mempunyai persepsi pemahaman yang cukup baik terkait pencemaran timbel di udara. Mayoritas yakni sebanyak 69% orang tua siswa memiliki tingkat partisipasi terhadap tindakan mitigasi dampak pencemaran timbel di udara dalam tingkatan sedang. Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesediaan masyarakat untuk melakukan tindakan mitigasi dipengaruhi oleh pendapatan keluarga, pengetahuan tentang pencemaran timbel, dan lamanya waktu aktivitas di luar rumah. Tindakan mitigasi dalam pencemaran timbel di udara perlu dilakukan masyarakat, khususnya orang tua siswa.

Nikolopoulou et al, and also Saravia and Pinho, state that it is important to establish a safer environment through natural surveillance, and that it is essential for the shelter to be easily visible from surrounding areas, and to have adequate lighting and maintenance [39], [40]. Iseki et al (2007) found that, while users of a shelter considered important such factors as the safety of the shelter at night, buses running on time, the availability of assistance in case of emergencies, good lighting at night, and not having to wait too long, they attached less importance to other matters, such as finding the timetable at the shelter, the cleanliness of the shelter, or the availability of seating [41].…”

Bus shelters, which form a part of daily lives of people, generally provide service as small areas of urban space created for short-term periods of waiting. From the perspective of spatial design, it is important that an environment of good quality is provided for users of bus-shelters. This study proposed hypotheses to research how the physical design of bus shelters (location-accessibility, anthropometric characteristics, roofing and walls, lighting, electronic information, seating, etc.) affected general satisfaction of their users. To establish users' general satisfaction, direct observation was performed and the hypotheses were tested through surveys conducted at bus-shelters selected in two areas of Istanbul (Ataköy-Beşyol) with different economic levels, and an assessment was made of the users' satisfaction analyses and related problems of bus shelter design. In the conclusion, it was established that there is a significant correlation between general satisfaction and, among other things, the perceived degree of difficulty in getting on and off buses, the harmonization of bus shelter design with the surroundings, the adequacy of a shelter for summer use, the comfort of a shelter, the adequacy of seating, and the extent to which the shelter is maintained.
