“…This finding supports the hypothesis that the higher the walkability on campus, the more positive the students’ walking attitude towards walking. It is partly consistent with Molin et al (2016) and Faber et al (2021), who found that built environment factors impacted residents’ travel attitudes [ 58 , 60 ]. In particular, it somewhat reversed the extent of common walkability theories.…”

“…To that end, it makes sense that a person would live in a highly walkable area for reasons other than neighborhood walkability. Therefore, this person will begin to walk more and develop a positive attitude towards walking behaviors [ 60 ]. In other words, it is assumed that varied walking attitudes are influenced by walking behaviors, which are influenced by walkability, and then walkability affects walking attitude.…”

The walkability of a neighborhood is important for alleviating transport problems and improving the social and physical wellbeing of residents. However, it is unclear to what extent high walkability contributes to positive attitudes about walking and walking experiences on university campuses. In addition, little is known about the extent and mechanism by which walking attitude influences the affective walking experiences of students. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between campus walkability and students’ affective walking experience, as well as to explain the role of walking attitude as a mediator of this relationship. To address these issues, data were collected via questionnaires at a Chinese university and analyzed by using the structural equation model. After controlling for personal characteristics, the results indicated that campus walkability had a positive direct and indirect (through walking attitude) association with affective walking experiences. Our findings have proved that walkable campuses are important because they promote positive walking attitudes and walking emotions, which are beneficial to students’ mental health and subjective wellbeing.

“…In addition, transport microenvironment depends on other variables, such as sex, race, age, body mass index (BMI), lifestyle, usage of a face mask during the trip, history of respiratory diseases, smoking habits, condition of the highway and presence of green spaces [21]. Moreover, some authors have underscored the role of individual perception, travel attitudes and travel behavior as determinants of the transport microenvironment [22]. Therefore, qualitative studies could introduce additional elements for exposure analysis.…”

Assessment of Factors Influencing Personal Exposure to Air Pollution on Main Roads in Bogota: A Mixed-Method Study

et al. 2022

Background and Objectives: Particulate Matter (PM), particles of variable but small diameter can penetrate the respiratory system via inhalation, causing respiratory and/or cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the association of environmental particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC) with respiratory health in users of different transport modes in four roads in Bogotá. Materials and Methods: this was a mixed-method study (including a cross sectional study and a qualitative description of the air quality perception), in 300 healthy participants, based on an exploratory sequential design. The respiratory effect was measured comparing the changes between pre- and post-spirometry. The PM2.5 and black carbon (BC) concentrations were measured using portable devices. Inhaled doses were also calculated for each participant according to the mode and route. Perception was approached through semi-structured interviews. The analysis included multivariate models and concurrent triangulation. Results: The concentration of matter and black carbon were greater in bus users (median 50.67 µg m−3; interquartile range (–IR): 306.7). We found greater inhaled dosages of air pollutants among bike users (16.41 µg m−3). We did not find changes in the spirometry parameter associated with air pollutants or transport modes. The participants reported a major sensory influence at the visual and olfactory level as perception of bad air quality. Conclusions: We observed greater inhaled doses among active transport users. Nevertheless, no pathological changes were identified in the spirometry parameters. People’s perceptions are a preponderant element in the assessment of air quality.

“…Prior studies investigating the association between behavior/health and built environments have often been prone to residential selfselection, which can lead to spurious associations (Faber et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021). To mitigate this bias, it is necessary to study populations where individuals' ability to choose residential locations based on their attitudes and preferences is minimized (Yang et al, 2021).…”
