“…Nevertheless, this method can only address activities that people either perform or plan to perform, and it cannot elicit activities that people have decided not to perform [19]. Logistic regression has the advantage of solving the category attribute data [12,31], whereas conjoint analysis is helpful for understanding the relative importance of factors [13,49]. However, this statistical analysis method is based on the assumption that the factors are independent.…”

“…As mentioned in some POS studies [11,23], play areas for children can foster multigenerational interaction and enjoyment. Historical and cultural heritage, which can foster a sense of place and local identity for elderly people [49], should be integrated into POS designs [8]. Therefore, the criteria of this dimension are seats on pathways, access to life facilities, Co-maintenance spaces, intimate seating, multifunctional spaces, play areas for children, and historical and cultural heritage.…”

“…However, some experts have argued that these boards and panels should be retained, because the convenience and safety of an inclusive environment design should not depend upon abstract understanding of the environment. For the historical and cultural heritage (3.57) indicator, the experts believed that this indicator has potential indirect contributions to health; some studies have shown that elderly people are enthusiastic about historical and cultural elements, which can provide an opportunity for them to reminisce, enhancing perceived interest, attractiveness, and sense of local identity [49,51]. For the microclimate (3.46) indicator, experts stated the natural enjoyment dimension generally corresponded with the demand of viewing and relaxing, mostly focused on relaxing, and overlapped with the criterion of comfortable seating with suitable orientations on pathways.…”

Abstract:With the global trend of population aging, how to integrate the health needs of elderly people into public open space (POS) development while taking into account public interest is a major challenge in the 21st century. Although the issues of elderly people's health and their POS needs are receiving increasing attention, research on continuous improvement strategies for POS for healthy aging societies is still limited. Hence, this study explored continuous improvement strategies thoroughly and systematically by using the DANP-V model. The findings revealed cognitive differences between expert and elderly groups. Moreover, water features, waste management, and co-maintenance spaces were the three criteria with the largest gap value. POS improvement has previously been implemented based on a priority order ranked from the criterion with largest gap value to the criterion with the smallest one. However, an alternative approach based on the cause-effect relationship is proposed in this paper. The study findings have both theoretical and practical implications for POS planners and designers.

Physiological or biological stress is an organism's response to a stressor such as an environmental condition or a stimulus. The identification of physiological stress while performing the activities of daily living is an important field of health research in preventive medicine. Activities initiate a dynamic physiological response that can be used as an indicator of the overall health status. This is especially relevant to high risk groups; the assessment of the physical state of patients with cardiovascular diseases in daily activities is still very difficult. This paper presents a context-aware telemonitoring platform, IPM-mHealth, that receives vital parameters from multiple sensors for online, real-time analysis. IPM-mHealth provides the technical basis for effectively evaluating patients' physiological conditions, whether inpatient or at home, through the relevance between physical function and daily activities. The two core modules in the platform include: 1) online activity recognition algorithms based on 3-axis acceleration sensors and 2) a knowledge-based, conditional-reasoning decision module which uses context information to improve the accuracy of determining the occurrence of a potentially dangerous abnormal heart rate. Finally, we present relevant experiments to collect cardiac information and upper-body acceleration data from the human subjects. The test results show that this platform has enormous potential for use in long-term health observation, and can help us define an optimal patient activity profile through the automatic activity analysis.

“…No que diz respeito aos aspectos comportamentais dos atores do trânsito, estudos têm buscado compreender os motivos para a escolha de um modal especíico (ANABLE; GATERSLEBEN, 2005;DACKO;SPALTEHOLZ, 2014;UZZELL, 2007;VAN EXEL;RIETVELD, 2009). Quanto aos aspectos ambientais envolvidos, busca-se compreender os fatores que favorecem ou diicultam os deslocamentos com diferentes modais (CAWENBERG et al, 2014;ZHAO, 2014).…”
