Abstract

Evidences suggested outdoor activities in newly developed communities in China have become less active than older ones. Improving outdoor activities by physical environment is the major concern of this research. This paper used a basic social-ecological model to explain the mechanism of outdoor activities in China. An intensive survey was carried out to examine how environmental factors affect outdoor activities. 7668 users’ activity data were obtained by observation, and the activities observed were categorized into three groups concerning environment involvement. The result suggested that some factors such as accessibility, environment supports are linked to outdoor activities in China.Keywords: Outdoor activity; physical environment; residential community; social networkeISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.
