Spatial differences in urban environmental conditions contribute to health inequalities within cities. The purpose of the paper is map relevant for City Dortmund, Germany, order identify needs planning interventions. We develop suitable indicators mapping socioeconomically-driven at neighborhood level based on published scientific evidence and inputs from local stakeholders. Relationships between socioeconomic 170 neighborhoods were analyzed continuously with Spearman rank correlation...
Cities are increasingly confronted with multiple environmental and climatic stressors. Especially during heatwaves, street canyons both producers sufferers of air pollution urban heat island (UHI) effects, severe risks on public health. To better design mitigation measures, it is important to consider the microclimate behaviors as well perceptions local population. Therefore, this study examined pedestrian modelings understand outdoor thermal comfort conditions dispersion in case...
Despite being an overall objective of European policies, health equity and environmental justice have not yet been systematically implemented in policies. Taking control over one's environment as element equity, we consider intractable exposure to transportation noise a highly relevant policy field. The Environmental Noise Directive is designed sectoral dealing with one determinant (noise) drawing on the Global Burden Disease framework, whereas demands investigation manifold variations...
Transdisciplinary processes deal with transdisciplinary problems that are (i) complex, (ii) societally relevant, (iii) ill-defined, and (iv) real-world which often show a high degree of ambiguity resulting in contested perceptions evaluations among between scientists practitioners. Therefore, they susceptible to multiple trade-offs. construct socially robust orientations (SoROs) particularly for sustainable transitioning. The integration science practice knowledge on equal footing (1) is...
Noise action planning according to the EU Environmental Directive aims improve people's health. Although health inequalities exist, does not address social in residential exposure road traffic noise. In multivariate regression analyses based on two urban study populations, we assess relationship between objective and subjective indicators of noise as an issue environmental justice. Residential neighbourhood satisfaction, socio-demographic -economic, health-related noise-related attitudinal...
The transformation of cities towards healthy urban living environments for all is a challenge that needs to be addressed through collaboration relevant sectors in transdisciplinary research processes. This paper reports on the design and showcase implementation methodological approach, named Interactive Spatial Understanding Support System (ISUSS), intended support interactive knowledge co-production integration among practitioners researcher specific local context. approach involves...
Borrowing from concepts of socio-environmental epidemiology and psychology, we conceived self-rated health as a function multiple physical psychosocial stressors resources at the residential neighbourhood individual level. In this model stressors, objective exposure to road traffic noise was specified stressor whose effect on may be mediated modified by residents' subjective response (serious annoyance). Self-reported hearing disability, recreational coping in green areas satisfaction were...
Urban residents’ need to be in control of their home environment can constrained by perceived uncontrollability exposure road traffic noise. Noise annoyance may indicate a psychological stress reaction due this perception, thereby undermining the restoration process. Environmental resources, such as having access quiet side at and dwelling-related green, reduce noise both directly shielding acoustically indirectly enhancing control. We assessed potential mediating role independent joint...
The Environmental Noise Directive expects residents to be actively involved in localising and selecting noise abatement interventions during the action planning process. Its intervention impact is meant homogeneous across population groups. Against background of social heterogeneity environmental disparities, however, on exposure traffic-related its health effects unlikely follow homogenous distributions. Until now, there has been no study evaluating measures distribution outcomes. We...
Zusammenfassung Stadtentwicklung kann mit vielfältigen Instrumenten die natürliche und gebaute Umwelt als Gesundheitsdeterminanten gestalten. Partizipation von Öffentlichkeit spielt in jedem Verfahren eine zentrale Rolle. Dennoch gelingt es den bestehenden Strukturen nicht allen Gruppen einer diversen Stadtgesellschaft gleichem Maße wirkungsvolle Beteiligung zu ermöglichen. Dies ist Ursache für soziale Ungleichheit bei Gesundheit.
Noise annoyance may reflect a pro-participatory attitude towards public information and consultation according to the European Environmental Directive. However, noise is also indicative of stress response perceived uncontrollable exposure. Using cross-sectional data on sample elderly citizens (n = 1772), we investigated whether value residents ascribed being able control exposure at home moderated potential indirect effect road traffic through control. Our results confirmed presence such...
Zusammenfassung Stadtplanung und Public Health sind zentrale Handlungsfelder, um Stadtentwicklung aus einer gesundheitlichen Perspektive zu betrachten. In beiden Handlungsfeldern spielen Politik Verwaltung ebenso wie urbane Initiativen eine gestaltende Rolle. Das Handeln richtet sich auf die gemeinsamen übergeordneten Themenlinien Zukunftsfähigkeit, soziale Gerechtigkeit umweltbezogene aus. Diese Gemeinsamkeiten spiegeln in unterschiedlichen Memoranden wider. Trotz dieser Basis von...
ABSTRACTEnvironmental justice is increasingly becoming a subject of academic debate in Germany. However, the realisation that environmental goods and hazards as well impacts policies are unequally distributed among social groups has not had many practical consequences yet. There scattered initiatives pilot projects aiming to address issues justice. Nevertheless, design implementation there no systematic consideration their dimension. In this paper, we outline perspective employees German...
European noise policy is originally committed to the precautionary principle of environmental planning, aiming at high health standards. Recent assessments Noise Directive report an increase traffic and under-estimation effects, however. In addition traffic-related exposure, Union faces another serious public problem: inequity, with social epidemiological research providing tentative evidence on socio-spatial inequalities in exposures effects. view these two challenges, we set out describe...
