Summary-摘要
Urban green space is an important resource to effectively improve the urban environment and human health. A growing body of evidence highlights their positive impact on physical, mental and social health. Less focus has been paid to the social health benefits of urban green space. Designing urban green space to improve the social health of various groups has become a crucial problem, given the lack of uniformity in defining and measuring social health, as well as the varying social health needs of different individuals. This review aims to explore the relationship between urban green space and social health of individuals, which is defined as how one gets along with other people, how other people react to him/her, and how one reacts with the social institutions and societal mores. According to the PRISMA extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, 60 articles published between 1998 and 2022 met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The results demonstrated that different types of urban green space significantly influenced the social health of individuals. The dimensions of social health of individuals based on urban green space could be divided into four groups: social contacts, social relations, social support and social connections, which were mainly affected by the physical characteristics, perceptions, and usages of urban green space to varying degrees. Socio-demographic characteristics could moderate the strength and orientation of the relationship between urban green space and social health of individuals. As the first scoping review to analyze the relationship between urban green space and individual social health, this study not only provides evidence for the social health benefits of urban green space, but also offers information and tools for future research and policymakers.
城市绿地是有效改善城市环境和人类健康的重要资源。越来越多的证据强调了它们对身体、心理和社会健康的积极影响。对城市绿地的社会健康效益的关注较少。由于定义和衡量社会健康,设计城市绿地以改善不同群体的社会健康已成为一个关键问题,因为在定义和衡量社会健康以及不同个人的社会健康需求方面缺乏一致性。本文综述旨在探讨城市绿地与个人社会健康之间的关系,即他人如何与他人相处,他人对他人的反应,以及他人与社会制度和社会习俗的反应。根据PRISMA扩展范围审查(PRISMA-ScR)指南,对1998年至2022年期间发表的60篇符合纳入标准的文章进行了审查。结果表明,不同类型的城市绿地对个体的社会健康有显著影响。基于城市绿地的个人社会健康维度可分为社会联系:社会联系、社会关系、社会支持和社会联系,不同程度上主要受城市绿地的物理特征、感知和使用的影响。社会人口特征可以调节城市绿地与个人社会健康之间关系的强度和取向。本研究是第一个分析城市绿地与个人社会健康之间关系的范围综述,本研究不仅为城市绿地的社会健康效益提供了证据,而且为未来的研究和决策者提供了信息和工具。
