Greenspace
Accessibility

Purpose of Tool: This tool maps the accessibility of existing urban green spaces. It allows you to calculate the accessibility of urban greenspaces by children and adolescents. It calculates accessibility not only to home locations but also to educational facilities (e.g., schools, colleges, and university buildings) and during the commute between them.

​

Classification of tool: model

​

Indicators captured: green spaces, playgrounds

Related to which research questions: 

• How are exposures in residential, pre‐school and school settings associated with well‐being?

• Across different life stages of the child, to what extent do physical exposures moderate the effect of social exposures on the child's well-being?

• How does children’s perspective of exposure differ from an adults perspective?

​
