Question 1
Q1: Are summary measures of BE characteristics of locations in the entire space-time realm of activity associated with overall levels of self-reported PA? Are summary measures of BE for the entire space-time realm of activity more strongly associated with PA than home-based summary measures of BE?
- PA = f(BE, PC)
- PA = MET-minutes/week spent in walking, based on International Physical Activity Questionnaire
- BE = a vector of overall summary built environment measures, measures from SmartMaps
- Residential density
- Street or intersection density
- % park
- Length of trail in bandwidth
- Grocery store/supermarket
- Other destinations: pubs, traditional restaurants, convenience stores
- Transit ridership
- Traffic volume (from PSRC/EMME2)
- Land use mix (composition and configuration), by focal processing in Fragstats
- Index of Juxtaposition & Interspersion (IJI)
- Aggregation Index (AI)
- Shannon Diversity Index (SHDI)
- PC = a vector of personal characteristic measures (covariates)
