摘要

积极通学是儿童体力活动的重要来源，对儿童身心健康具有重要作用。建成环境对儿童积极通学的影响受到地理学、城市规划、公共健康等多个领域学者的广泛关注，但现有研究对社区和学校建成环境的共同作用和影响差异考虑不足。该研究以西安市为案例地，运用交叉分类多层模型，探究了儿童居住社区和就读学校建成环境对其积极通学的影响。研究发现，① 社区建成环境对儿童积极通学的影响大于学校建成环境；② 影响儿童积极通学的社区与学校建成环境因素不同，社区绿色度的增加能显著促进积极通学，学校餐饮店数量、土地混合使用、十字路口数量均对积极通学产生负效应，但学校公共交通站点数量的提高能促进儿童积极通学；③ 建成环境能够调节通学距离对积极通学的影响效应，社区商店数量的增多会加剧通学距离对积极通学的负效应，社区人口密度、公共交通站点数量和学校绿色度可以削弱通学距离的负效应，从而促进儿童积极通学。研究结论可为促进儿童积极通学的相关公共政策干预和空间调整策略提供参考。

Abstract

Active commuting to school plays a crucial role in promoting physical activity and positively contributes to children’s physical and mental health. While extensive attention has been paid to the impact of built environment on children’s active commuting to school, there is still a lack of consideration for the joint effects and differences in the impact of built environment of neighborhood and school. In this study, a cross-classified multilevel model is employed to investigate the effects of neighborhood and school built environment on children’s active commuting to school in Xi’an. Our findings indicate that: ① Neighborhood built environment has a greater impact on children’s active commuting to school compared to school built environment; ② Neighborhood and school built environment factors that affect children’s active commuting to school are different. For instance, while an increase in the number of school bus stops promotes active commuting to school, factors such as mixed land use, number of school cafeterias, and number of intersections contribute negatively to children’s active commuting. ③ Built environment moderates the effect of distance to school on active commuting to school. An increase in the number of neighborhood stores exacerbated the negative effect of distance on active commuting to school; neighborhood population density, number of bus stops, and school greenery promoted active commuting to school by weakening the negative effect of distance. These research outcomes hold significant implications for developing public policies and spatial adjustments that aim to promote active commuting to schools among children.
