报告简介：This presentation will examine the question, is it true that localities with high environmental quality and ecological health also make strong positive contributions to quality-of-life? We consider this question at three scales: city, district and neighbourhood. We use world cities, Melbourne suburbs and Shanghai neighbourhoods. Key factors in this equation include commonly measured aspects of environmental quality such as species diversity and pollution levels, and common considerations for human wellbeing including thermal comfort, noise, visual quality, health and safety. Over larger areas we use published data at the neighborhood scale we are undertaking surveys of young school children. In this case the variables are objective measures of neighborhood form and facilities, and subjective feelings of wellbeing. Also being surveyed are the children’s activity levels as these are a potential explanatory link between the qualities of the physical environment and the qualities of life. We then argue that there are untapped opportunities for gathering large qualities of pertinent data from the crowd (using smartphones, social media, wrist sensors) and for conducting controlled experiments (using virtual environments) on people’s behavior in diverse environments.
