摘要
The daily emotional experience of the elderly is not only related to their mental health,but also influenced and restricted by the urban residential environment.Existing studies have discussed the correlation between residential environment and emotional health from the two perspectives of built and social environment,and a variety of theoretical explanations have been developed.However,it has no explicit and reliable empirical basis.In order to explore how residential environment influences the emotional health of the elderly,this paper conducts targeted empirical research on the issue.Based on the perception survey,the paper adopts the self-assessed health status,living conditions,and mobility capacity to reflect the emotional experience level of the elderly,and explores the statistical correlation between residential environment factors and the emotional health in combination with an analysis on built and social environment factors.It is found that the built and social environment factors have remarkable differences in their effects on the emotional health.In terms of the social environment,neighborhood involvement has wide positive effects on the self-assessment of all three aspects of health status,living conditions,and mobility capacity;while in terms of the built environment,the landscape of leisure places have positive effects on the self-assessment of both living conditions and mobility capacity.In the end,guided by the concept of active health,the paper puts forward the evidence-based planning strategy from the perspectives of leisure landscape,neighborhood involvement,and travel safety,with the hope to improve the residential environment of the elderly.
