Outline of Final Research Achievements

The planned international travel was postponed due to the spread of COVID-19. Instead, online tools were utilized to conduct research on active school travel with researchers from the UK and Spain, as well as research on crime prevention measures in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, with UK collaborators. The results of these studies were published in international peer-reviewed journals. In the final year (FY2023), interviews with the police and case studies on crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) were conducted in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, UK. Additionally, case studies on health-oriented urban development were carried out in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, and an international co-authored article with Australian researchers on the potential for urban planning documents to enhance health was submitted. Some of the survey results were incorporated into the 'Active Urban Planning & Design Guide,' a key outcome of the root research project.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

非感染性疾患の大きな要因である身体活動不足が蔓延する要因として、土地利用や交通利便性などの都市環境、その方針となる都市・交通計画が挙げられる。本研究では、都市居住者の歩行行動や小学生の徒歩通学の環境要因を探求し、身体活動促進に都市計画が貢献しうる点を自治体や事業者向けのデザインガイドに示した。また、国内自治体の都市計画における身体活動の視点の有無、国内外における防犯環境設計の実態を調査して、都市計画による身体活動促進の可能性と方向性を示した。これらの研究成果は自治体や事業者による健康まちづくりを推進するものであり、三カ国の国際比較研究は都市計画分野の学術発展に寄与するものである。
