Working with objective and perceived indicators of health and green space

Sammanfattning

Objective or “actual” access to green spaces near homes is not the same as perceived access to green space. Similarly, objective health, such as absence of disease, is not necessarily equivalent to how people perceive their health. Grounded in empirical work in the Nordic Region, and combined with existing research literature, this chapter unfolds and problematizes differences between perceived and objective indicators of access to green space and differences between perceived and objective indicators of people’s health. Additionally, the chapter discusses how urban planners can use objective and perceived indicators of access to green spaces and people’s health in their work with developing health-promoting and sustainable municipalities.
