  • Older adults' outdoor walking :inequalities in neighbourhood safety, pedestrian infrastructure and aesthetics

    • Authors: Zandieh, R.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Older adults living in high-deprivation areas walk less than those living in low-deprivation areas. Previous research has shown that older adults’ outdoor walking levels are related to the neighbourhood built environment. This study examines inequalities in perceived built environment attributes (i.e., safety, pedestrian infrastructure and aesthetics) and their possible influences on disparities in older adults’ outdoor walking levels in low- and high-deprivation areas of Birmingham, United Kingdom. It applied a mixed-method approach, included 173 participants (65 years and over), used GPS technology to measure outdoor walking levels, used questionnaires (for all participants) and con...

  • Relationships between Outdoor Walking Levels and Neighbourhood Built-Environment Attributes: The Case of Older Adults in Birmingham, UK

    • Authors: Zandieh, R.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Flacke, J.; Martinez, J. A.; van Maarseveen, M. F. A. M. (2018)

  • The research we describe in this chapter had two aims: (1) to illustrate the capacity of GIS for generating objective measures of macro built-environment attributes; and (2) to use GIS-measured macro built-environment attributes, together with perceived micro built-environment attributes, to examine correlations among and between neighbourhood built-environment attributes in order to better understand how to increase positive (or to decrease negative) influences of neighbourhood built-environment attributes on outdoor walking levels.

  • The Associations Between Area Deprivation and Objectively Measured Older Adults’ Outdoor Walking Levels

    • Authors: Zandieh, R.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2017)

  • Outdoor walking has positive impacts on older adults’ health. It is crucial to identify less active older adults and to encourage them to take outdoor walks. Previous studies have shown that physical activity levels vary according to socioeconomic deprivation. However, knowledge on objectively measured older adults’ outdoor walking levels is limited. This study investigated associations between area (socioeconomic) deprivation and older adults’ objectively (geographic positioning system [GPS]) measured outdoor walking levels (i.e., walking durations and frequencies) in Birmingham, United Kingdom. It used a multilevel approach. The final sample included 173 participants (65 years and a...
