P1 study project “Neighbourhood impulses for a healthy lifestyle”
About half of all premature deaths are caused by preventable health risks such as smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity. At the same time, the living environment is among the most important factors influencing human health. Some socio-spatial characteristics at the neighbourhood level like attractive green and open spaces and the availability of a wide range of fresh food and groceries can have a positive impact on the health of the local population and could thus be regarded as stimuli for a healthy lifestyle.
However, socially deprived neighbourhoods often exhibit a combination of particularly complex social, economic, infrastructural and structural problems. Thus, the necessary conditions for a good health situation in such neighbourhoods are often less favourable.
Against this background, the aim of this P1 study project is to investigate the influence of urban planning on setting-based prevention at the local neighbourhood level. The focus must be laid on the aspects of daily physical activity and nutrition and their differences and variations in selected neighbourhoods with high, low and very low social status.
