The impact of perceived and measured threats in modifying children's active mobility behaviour

Abstract

This study examined influences, either in the neighbourhood social environment in everyday life (i.e., measured and perceived safety) or threats during abnormal events (i.e., a health crisis) on primary school-aged children's outdoor active mobility behaviour, and their well-being. Based on extensive literature review, survey of parents and their children, and analytics, this work made several contributions to the body of knowledge. The findings have important implications for policy-making and future research.
