ABSTRACT
Background:
The world faces vast health challenges, and urban residents living in high-density areas have even greater demand for healthy lifestyles.Methods:
Based on the data of points of interest, a field survey, and an interview, we explored the healthy community-life circle in the downtown area of Chengdu, China from two perspectives objective measurement and subjective perception of residents. We evaluated the coverage rate and convenience in accessing eight types of health service facilities within a 15-min walk using linear and logistics regression models to explore the degree of resident satisfaction with facilities and influencing factors.Results:
Results showed significant differences in coverage rates between different districts. The overall convenience in accessing health service facilities decreased gradually from the city center to the outskirts. The social environment, the layout of health service facilities, and residents’ travel habits were related to health service facility satisfaction. Results also showed significant differences in various facilities’ accessibility satisfaction between objective measurement and residents’ perception measurement. Compared with subjective measurement, the objective measurements of accessibility for sports venues (objectively measured average minus perceived average −1.310), sports zones (−0.740), and specialized hospitals (−1.081) were lower;those for community hospitals (0.095), clinics (1.025), and pharmacies (0.765) were higher;and facility accessibility measured by subjective perception had a more significant impact on health facility satisfaction. Pharmacies (OR 1.932) and community hospitals (OR 1.751) had the largest impact among the eight types of facilities.Conclusion:
This study proposed to construct a healthy community-life circle with a category and hierarchy system.
