Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Urban Planning
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing significantly impacted global lifestyles.
  • Leisure-time physical activity is crucial for urban residents' health during pandemics.
  • Limited research exists on the combined effects of COVID-19, urban greenery, and physical activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if urban greenery mitigates pandemic-related decreases in leisure-time physical activity.
  • To assess the role of green spaces in maintaining physical activity in high-density urban areas during COVID-19.
  • To understand the protective effect of urban green spaces on public health during crises.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a natural experimental research design.
  • Collected two-wave physical activity data (pre- and during pandemic) from urban residents.
  • Employed a difference-in-differences model to analyze the impact of neighborhood greenery levels.

Main Results:

  • Urban greenery significantly cushioned the decline in physical activity during the pandemic.
  • Residents in greener neighborhoods experienced a smaller decrease in leisure-time physical activity.
  • Living in greener areas was associated with increased physical activity from park visits during the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • Urban green spaces are vital for maintaining physical activity and providing public refuge during crises.
  • Findings highlight the significant role of urban greenery in public health resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and future events.
  • This study provides novel insights into urban greenery's impact on physical activity in densely populated Asian cities.
