مرور کتاب شناختی مولفه های موثر بر پیاده روی زنان در فضاهای شهری (بازه زمانی 2024-2014)

بررسی عوامل تاثیرگذار بر پیاده‌ روی زنان در فضاهای شهری نه ‌تنها به ارتقای سلامت و کیفیت زندگی آن‌ها کمک می‎کند، بلکه گامی اساسی در جهت طراحی شهرهای فراگیر، امن و پاسخگو به نیازهای جنسیتی است. هدف از این مطالعه، مروری کتاب‌شناختی بر مطالعات انجام‌شده در زمینه پیاده‌روی زنان در فاصله سال‌های 2014 تا 2024 است. بدین منظور پس از جست‌وجوی مقالات در پایگاه استنادی اسکوپوس 4153 مقاله یافت شدند که پس از اعمال فیلترهای مد نظر، 130 مقاله حاصل شدند. تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌های استنادی نشان می‌دهد که کشورهایی نظیر ایالات متحده آمریکا، ژاپن، انگلستان، آمریکا، استرالیا و ایران بیشترین تعداد مقالات را در این حوزه ارائه داده‌اند. همچنین بیشترین تعداد مقالات مربوط به سال‌های 2021 و 2017 و کمترین تعداد مقالات مربوط به سال‌های 2014 و 2015 است. علاوه براین، عملکرد نویسندگان و نشریات و سازمان‌ها نیز بررسی شده است. بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش، مطالعات انجام‌شده در این حوزه به چهار دسته تقسیم می‌شوند: پژوهش‌هایی که نقش عوامل محیطی و طراحی شهری را بر پیاده‌روی زنان بررسی کرده‌اند؛ مطالعاتی که به بررسی تاثیر احساس ایمنی و امنیت بر پیاده‌روی زنان توجه داشته‌اند؛ پژوهش‌هایی که تاثیر عوامل اجتماعی فرهنگی بر پیاده‌روی زنان را مورد بررسی قرار داده‌اند و مطالعاتی که رفتار پیاده‌روی زنان و مردان را مقایسه کرده‌اند. یافته‌های این پژوهش نه‌تنها به شناسایی روندهای پژوهشی و شکاف‌های تحقیقاتی در ادبیات موجود یاری می‌رساند، بلکه بستری برای توسعۀ چهارچوب‌های نظری یکپارچه و سیاست‌گذاری‌های آگاهانه در ایجاد فضاهای شهری که به نیازهای زنان پاسخ دهند، فراهم می‌کند.

bibliographic review of factors affecting women’s walking in urban spaces

introduction walking has emerged as a highly sustainable mode of transportation that plays a crucial role in enhancing urban livability and reducing environmental degradation. in an age where urban areas are grappling with severe issues such as noise and air pollution, walking offers an eco-friendly alternative to the reliance on private vehicles. this mode of transport not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also offers significant public health benefits. numerous studies have indicated that walking serves as an effective means of alleviating stress, fostering mental well-being, and promoting physical fitness. it is not merely a physical activity; it is a holistic practice that fosters social connections and encourages community engagement, thereby enriching urban life.the significance of walking extends beyond its environmental and health benefits. it is a multifaceted activity that encompasses various aspects of social interaction and individual well-being. walking provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with their surroundings and with one another, creating a sense of community and belonging. the act itself can serve as a platform for socialization, where individuals engage in conversations, share experiences, and build relationships. consequently, the design and accessibility of urban spaces play a pivotal role in facilitating or hindering walking behaviors among residents.however, despite its many benefits, certain groups—particularly women—face unique challenges that can impede their walking experiences. gender-based disparities in urban environments often lead to safety concerns, social restrictions, and infrastructural inadequacies that disproportionately affect women. recognizing and addressing these barriers is essential for ensuring that all individuals, especially women, have equitable access to walking opportunities and can reap the associated health benefits. in this context, promoting inclusivity and equity in urban planning is vital for fostering environments that support the health and well-being of all community members methodologyto investigate the current state of research on women’s walking in urban environments, we conducted a comprehensive examination of scholarly articles published in the scopus citation database between 2014 and 2024. the search utilized specific keywords, including “walking,” “walkability,” “women,” and “female,” to identify articles relevant to our focus on women’s walking patterns in urban settings. the emphasis on both social sciences and environmental sciences in our review allowed for a multifaceted understanding of the issues at play.initially, our search yielded a total of 4,153 articles. to refine this extensive dataset, we implemented a rigorous filtering process. we assessed the relevance of articles based on title and author name, and systematically eliminated those lacking english titles, abstracts, or keywords. additionally, we excluded titles that were deemed irrelevant to our study focus. this meticulous approach resulted in a final selection of 130 articles, extracted from a diverse array of 76 sources, including academic journals and conference proceedings.the articles selected for review were analyzed for various metrics, including publication age, citation frequency, and author collaboration rates. the average age of the articles was determined to be 5.4 years, indicating the recency of the research focus. the annual growth rate of published articles was calculated at 5.76%, with an average of 20.72 citations per article. notably, 21 of the selected articles were authored by a single researcher, while the remaining articles exhibited an average collaboration rate of 3.32 authors, highlighting the collaborative nature of research in this field.
