Abstract

With the increased rate of urbanization, health problems resulting from the distant separation of jobs and housing as well as increased reliance on motorized travel have become increasingly prominent. As a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation, active travel holds significant positive potential for achieving the peak emission and carbon neutrality goals and realizing the Healthy China strategy. The impact of active travel on residents' physical health has garnered significant interest among scholars in geography, transportation, and urban planning. However, research on its impact on psychological health and well-being is still in an early stage. This study aimed to contribute to this area by providing a systematic summary of the empirical effects surrounding the relationship between urban active travel and psychological health and well-being, drawing on relevant journal publications in China and internationally. The results of our review show that the majority of the studies have confirmed the positive impacts of active travel on psychological health and well-being. However, these impacts were also moderated by personal and spatial factors, resulting in heterogeneity. Furthermore, this study found that the impact path of active travel on psychological health and well-being is complex, involving the joint action of multiple direct and indirect factors. The main action paths include: the direct effect of intrinsic characteristics, the mediation effect of individual physiological functions, the moderating effect of the physical environment, and the mediation effect of the social environment. In addition, psychological health and well-being can also have a feedback effect on active travel behaviors by influencing travel willingness. Finally, based on the current status of the research conducted, this article also put forward relevant recommendations for improvement, especially to provide new ideas for conducting similar research in China. These findings offer insights for promoting active travel through policy measures and urban planning strategies, and facilitating the research and development of healthy cities in China.

目前,心理问题已经成为全球性的主要健康挑战[1],其重要性在《“健康中国2030”规划纲要》中被明确强调[2]。研究预测,2013—2025年,中国居民的心理健康负担预计将增长10%[3]。尤其是,城市化引发的社会、经济和环境问题使城市居民面临更高的心理健康风险,如焦虑、抑郁和情绪障碍。交通出行,作为城市生活的重要方面,对居民的心理健康与福祉产生显著影响,并可能成为心理危机的重要诱因之一。例如,城市蔓延和职住分离导致居民经历长时空的通勤,进一步加剧了通勤人群的疲劳、抑郁和压力[4-5]。在此背景下,随着学科交叉性的不断强化,地理、交通和规划等学科开始深入探讨交通出行与公共健康之间的关系,以及城市环境在出行过程中对居民健康和幸福感产生的直接或间接效应。
积极交通出行(以下简称“积极出行”),国际上通称“active travel”或“non-motorized travel”,是一种依靠人类自身身体活动而非外部动力的交通出行模式,作为私家车出行的环保替代方案,不仅对减少碳排放和空气污染具有重要意义,而且为提升公共健康开辟了新路径[6]。众多研究探讨了积极出行对居民生理健康的影响及其作用机制,并且对相关知识进行了全面整理[7-9]。目前,虽然已有研究综述了积极出行与抑郁症[10]、心理压力[11]和幸福感[12-13]等单一维度的联系,但尚缺乏对心理健康与福祉影响的系统总结。对于积极出行如何影响心理健康与福祉以及城市环境(规划干预手段)在其中扮演怎样的角色等问题依然缺乏系统的知识和理论框架。
鉴于此,本文通过回顾国内外相关期刊文献,构建了“行为、环境—健康与福祉”理论框架。在此基础上,进一步梳理并归纳了积极出行对心理健康与福祉的影响及其异质性效应,系统总结了作用路径,以丰富和完善现有交通地理和出行行为理论,并为积极出行和公共健康的规划策略及政策提供建议。需要明确的是,本文关注的积极出行主要涵盖有明确起讫点和交通目的的出行行为,包含通勤、通学、办事和外出购物等功利性出行,但不包括“以运动或休憩为目的,即仅为满足参与健康活动或获得愉悦体验等派生性需求的休闲出行”[14]。此外,本文界定积极交通模式为“依靠人力为空间移动的动力”[15]的交通方式 ,包含传统的步行、自行车和滑板等,以及使用机械辅助(而非完全替代)人力的新型交通工具,如助力电动车(E-bike)和电动踏板车(E-scooter)等。

2 理论框架与研究要素

在出行过程中,出行者所接触的城市地理环境,即物理环境(包括建成环境和自然环境等)以及社会环境,都与其健康状况密切相关,因此仅考虑单一的出行行为指标存在较大局限。现有研究分别展示了城市环境对心理状态、生活质量和出行行为的影响[17-19]。例如,城市环境既可以通过个体感官(如绿色和开放空间带来愉悦感和惬意感)[20]来直接影响居民心理状态,又可以通过影响出行体验[21-22]和社交活动[23]等间接途径来施加作用;建成环境(“5Ds”特征、可步行性等)[24-25]和社会环境(社会规范和社区氛围等)[26]也能够直接影响交通出行的态度、偏好和频率。此外,不同社会经济属性的人群对环境的主观感知存在差异[22],这些差异调节了环境对心理健康[23]的影响。综上,个体因素、城市环境、积极出行和健康福祉之间存在复杂的相互作用关系。基于“行为—环境”和“环境—健康”的研究范式,融合公共卫生领域的社会生态模型,并考虑空间和个体社会经济属性,本文尝试构建“行为、环境—健康与福祉”理论框架(图2)。依据该理论框架,本文首先系统总结了研究中涉及的多个维度的研究要素及其测量方法。
图2 “行为、环境—健康与福祉”理论框架

Fig.2 A framework of research on "travel behaviour/environment-health and well-being"

心理健康与福祉的概念复杂且多维,不同学派和专家对其定义和测度指标存在不同的理解。目前广泛形成的共识是,心理健康强调个体在情感、情绪、认知、行为和社会功能等方面的良好或正常状态[27-28],而心理福祉则更关注个体的生活满意度、幸福感和自我实现的人生价值[29-30]。两者是相互包含且关联密切的概念[31],通常会被结合在一起以更全面地评估整体心理健康状态。基于此,本文按照相同或相似的概念将其总结为4大类:情感状态、幸福感(满意度)、精神困扰和整体心理健康状况(表2表3)。目前,关于幸福感(满意度)的研究最为广泛,朱菁等[12]的综述文章提供了重要参考。在测量技术上,回溯性指标的评估通常使用李克特量表(Likert-type Scale)或语义差异量表(Semantic Differential Scales)等工具,而实时测量则多依赖于手机应用程序。

针对积极出行行为,现有研究主要涵盖步行(72篇)、自行车出行(74篇)和(助力)电动自行车出行(12篇)三种方式。大多数研究将不同的交通模式,包括积极出行,作为分类自变量,而少数研究关注积极出行的频率、持续时间、出行态度、偏好以及选择原因等指标(表3)。部分纵向研究也会将模式转换与积极出行的频率变化作为研究变量,从而进行因果推断。测量工具主要采用问卷调查,辅以日重建法(day reconstruction method,DRM)、体验抽样法(experience sampling method,ESM)、生态瞬间评估(ecological momentary assessment,EMA)等技术来缩小误差。
在环境研究中,影响健康和出行行为的城市环境通常被划分为建成环境和社会环境。建成环境被广泛地总结为“5Ds”的度量指标,包括密度(density)、设计(design)、多样性(diversity)、目的地可达性(destination accessibility)以及到公交站点距离(distance to transit)[32]。少量研究也会将建成环境扩展到“6Ds”甚至“8Ds” 维度[33]。一些特定变量如蓝绿空间的面积,以及综合性指标例如步行和骑行指数,也被用来描述建成环境的特征(表4)。除反映建成环境特征具体指标而外,个体与环境之间的交互作用也会对心理健康效应产生影响。因此,环境暴露的时长和频率等指标也被一些研究所采纳。在社会生态模型的框架下,影响居民出行行为的城市环境范畴得以拓展,并纳入了社会环境指标,例如社会规范、经济水平、犯罪率、社区凝聚力等[34-35]。此外,居民对环境的评价感知也被视为反映环境特征的重要指标,但不同人群对于相同客观环境的主观感知存在差异[36]

3 积极出行对居民心理健康与福祉的影响及其路径

基于“行为、环境—健康与福祉”框架,本文梳理了积极出行对心理健康与福祉的总体影响效应;其次,探讨个体的社会经济属性、出行偏好和态度以及地理空间差异对影响效果产生的异质性;最后,系统总结积极出行影响心理健康与福祉的相关作用路径,识别重要的中介变量、调节要素和作用路径等。

3.1 积极交通出行对心理健康与福祉的影响效应

3.1.1 总体效应

多数研究表明,积极出行(或从其他模式转向积极交通)有助于促进和改善心理健康与福祉,但影响效果在不同出行情景下可能存在差异。相较于机动化出行模式,各年龄群体在积极出行过程中均保持了良好的心理状态。积极出行的特定模式可能带来不同的影响。一些研究发现,仅自行车出行会产生显著的正面影响,步行的身体活动强度不足以影响心理健康[37]。同时,积极出行的强度(如频次、时间和距离)和成本,也与心理健康相关。可达范围涵盖更多目的地[38]、持续时间较长[39]和累积频率足够多[40]才能提升出行者的满意度。然而,不同研究的结论存在差异,即对于“剂量—反应”关系尚存争议[37]。例如,不同研究中积极出行累计时间的变化对心理健康的影响结果可能截然相反[41-43]。总体上,当考虑到出行特征的复杂性时,不同出行方式的心理感知差异会减小[44]。与其他出行目的相比,积极通勤(学)较少带来积极情绪和满意度,且更易引起疲劳[45]。这是因为通勤通常是沿着重复的单一路线,并需遵守固定时间表,导致出行体验乏味[46]。具体总结见表5

3.1.2 个体差异

积极出行对心理健康与福祉的影响存在个人社会经济属性上的异质性。一般而言,积极出行对男性、未婚者、高收入和高学历人群存在积极影响,而对于女性、已婚者、低收入和低学历人群的积极影响较弱甚至可能产生负面影响。性别层面上,女性通常比男性更容易感知到交通压力[107],而且对出行安全更加敏感,这可能与性别间的生理差异、女性较强的健康意识以及更为丰富的情感表达有关[68]。对于已婚人群,由于需要承担更多日常任务(如购物或接送家人),积极交通模式可能难以满足其需求[77,83]。从职业类型看,久坐且缺少体力活动的白领人士更可能从积极出行中获益更多,而体力劳动者则不然[79]。高收入人群可能因追求休闲锻炼而主动选择积极出行,以获得更愉悦的出行体验[37,66]。相反,低收入群体受条件限制而被迫选择积极方式,因此出行错配率更高[41,49]。他们在选择出行模式时更多考虑成本和可预测性等工具因素,而非感觉和情绪等情感因素[90]。此外,时间灵活充裕的人在出行时不受时间约束,因此感受到的压力更少[58]
除社会经济属性外,出行者的自我选择偏好和态度也发挥着重要的调节作用。首先,积极出行的心理效应可能因出行者对积极出行的态度而异[72]。偏好积极出行的人群往往热衷于此方式,并能适应更加剧烈的活动[66]。相反,被动采用该模式的出行者会产生较低的出行满意度[72]。那些习惯于机动化出行却愿意转向积极出行的群体通常承受的心理压力较低[105]。文化和社会环境差异,如家庭习惯和教育背景,塑造的不同观念也会影响个人对待不同出行方式的心理状态[69]。某些出行者的价值观,如重视锻炼和环保,能够调节其出行体验和满意度。这类群体在心理上更倾向于采用积极出行,并能减轻积极出行带来的弊端,如爬坡的劳累;相反,重视距离和便利性的人则截然相反[122]。未认识到积极出行的附加价值,可能导致他们对这种方式持消极态度[84]

3.1.3 空间差异

除了个人社会经济属性指标,地理空间(通常是居住地)的差异也会影响积极出行的心理效应。居住在高度城市化区域或紧凑社区的居民对积极出行更满意,而居住在(对小汽车友好的)郊区或农村居民可能持有负面看法[39,92]。这主要归因于高城市化地区通常具备良好的职住平衡、高密度且多样化的城市空间、完善的交通基础设施以及良好的社会治安,这些使得出行者在从机动化出行转向积极模式时感受到的交通压力更小,并且在积极出行中获得心理补偿[43,77,107]。紧凑型社区的居民出行便利,总体出行时间短且交通环境更加宁静,这有助于提高积极出行满意度[73,77]。即使出行时间有所延长,居住在这些地区的积极出行者仍然能够享有更为轻松的出行体验[109]。然而,过高的城市密度却也可能限制居民日常生活上的空间流动性,并且增加空气污染、噪音污染以及拥挤环境下的暴露[123],从而削弱积极出行对心理福祉的正面影响。而且,(超)大城市中更加混乱的交通环境会导致居民面临更复杂的交通状况和相对较高的出行压力[45]

3.2 积极交通出行对心理健康与福祉的影响路径

根据现有文献分析,积极出行对心理健康与福祉的影响路径复杂,涉及多重直接和间接因素的共同作用(图3),其中主要的作用路径包括:内在特征的直接影响、生理功能的中介影响、物理环境的调节影响以及社会环境的中介影响。此外,研究还指出,心理健康与福祉也会通过影响出行意愿,反向作用于积极出行行为。

Fig.3 Pathways of impact of active travel on psychological health and well-being

3.2.1 内在特征的直接影响

城市居民心理健康与福祉和积极出行的时空优势紧密相关。研究表明,对大城市居民而言,缩短出行时间可以增加满意度,而出行时耗的增加则会对身心健康造成不利影响[100]。积极出行的时间优势(如低时耗、高时效以及更小的实际和理想出行时间差等)[58,80,117]和空间优势(如短距离、停车方便)[70,74,100]有助于促进更积极的心理状态。
除时空优势外,积极出行的内在特征还能带来良好的情绪价值和社会心理效益[59]。积极出行的自由与灵活性减轻了机动化出行的负面影响,如噪音污染和道路拥堵,从而促进积极的情绪反馈[40,67,74,104]。积极出行可以丰富出行经历,例如探索新路线或挑战更快的到达速度,为出行者带来新奇和冒险体验[47-48]。而部分出行者选择积极出行,是为了追求运动乐趣,并近距离享受周边环境,如途中的自然风光[47,50,72]。与可预测性弱的机动交通相比[102],它更易融入居民日常生活,加强出行者的交通自主性和自我效能感[58,80]。此外,积极出行有助于出行者在生活与工作/学习之间实现更平稳的过渡,使其得以暂时摆脱繁重的压力和责任[53,63]。受益于更低的出行成本,积极出行者通常因节约费用而享有更高的出行满意度[108]。总体来看,积极出行的这些特征很大程度上满足了Ory等[124]提出的日常出行个性化需求,如好奇心、冒险心理、节约成本、追求多样化、高可预期性以及较少的交通规则限制等。

3.2.2 生理功能的中介影响

体力活动和感官刺激引发的生理功能变化是积极出行施加影响的重要中介路径。一方面,作为一种广泛认可的运动方式,积极出行不仅是中到高强度体力活动(MVPA)的重要来源,还能有效减少久坐行为和过度肥胖,有助于预防抑郁症和亚健康状态[40,78,88]。这一过程涉及体力活动触发的神经递质活动,包括通过释放多巴胺、血清素、肾上腺素和内啡肽等物质来改善情绪、提升兴奋感和注意力、增强认知功能,以及通过降低皮质醇来减轻抑郁水平[47,59,63,121]。此外,提高运动量还能够减少荷尔蒙分泌,从而减轻心血管应激反应,缓解生理压力[54,103,111]。另一方面,积极出行使得出行者能够借助身体移动更细致地感知环境,增强感官能力[125]。这种感官能力的提升促进了对生活场景的深入感知。例如,积极出行使人更专注于周遭环境,激发更多互动[54,111],并深入体验现实,进而带来愉悦感和满足感[45]

3.2.3 物理环境的调节影响

积极出行沿途环境的舒适性调节着出行者的心理状态。积极出行者直接暴露于物理出行环境中,并根据绿化率、拥挤度、空气质量和基础设施建设等空间指标来评价其行程[70]。特别是,友好的积极出行环境对心理健康有显著正面影响[10,68,78]。根据恢复理论,较低激活水平的建成环境,如含有自然元素的空间或令人愉悦的建筑,能为出行者提供精神休憩的场所,抵消城市喧嚣的负面效应[126]。积极出行者可自主选择途经的环境,从单调、宽阔和交通负荷大的主干道,到富有人情味的巷道和步行街。这些人性尺度的空间往往聚集了更多人群及活动,为出行体验增添了多样性。比起机动化出行,积极出行更容易接触到蓝绿空间等自然要素[99,111],极大满足了人类对亲近自然的遗传性需求[127]
然而,除了正向效应外,积极出行者由于更直接地暴露于外界环境,可能会受到噪音、环境污染、昏暗光照、恶劣天气以及极端温度等不利环境条件的影响[61,69,74]。这些因素可以直接或通过出行者的主观环境感知(如热舒适性、安全担忧等)对心理状态产生消极影响[98]。此外,在以机动车为导向的城市发展模式下,积极交通基础设施的缺乏以及机动车辆对出行空间的挤占,也显著增加了出行者的安全顾虑和心理负担[59,74]

3.2.4 社会环境的中介影响

社会环境通过中介作用在积极出行和心理健康与福祉之间建立联系。积极出行的普及促进了更加和谐与包容的社会氛围[111]。一方面,积极出行的非隔离性使得公共空间中的人流聚集和社会交往增多,强化了社区的凝聚力[40,65,73],满足了人类群居的天性[48,61,126],减少了因人际关系缺失引发的负面心理效应[45,116]。另一方面,积极出行者倾向于居住在活动丰富、邻里融洽的社区,这类社区提供了丰富的社交机会和安全包容的环境,加强了居民的社区归属感[39]。同时,积极出行行为符合社会规范期待,通常受到家庭和社会网络的鼓励,有助于营造和谐的家庭氛围和友好的人际关系[128],为维护健康的心理状态提供良好的社会支持。然而,如果居民长时间被限制在积极出行(特别是步行)可达的生活范围内生活,可能导致社交网络狭窄,缺乏足够的社交活动,从而引发内心不满[106]

3.2.5 反馈效应路径

上述路径主要体现了积极出行对心理健康与福祉的单向影响,然而两者间实际还存在反向促进(或抑制)的反馈效应。良好的心理状态可以激发出行者采用积极交通方式的意愿[101],这可能是因为体力活动与心理健康之间存在双向联系:心理状态较好的人更愿意参与体力活动,而体力活动不仅能改善他们的情绪,还能提升出行过程中的整体体验[66,95]。积极出行中获得的心理改善可被视作对出行者的精神激励,进一步激发了人们持续采用该模式的意愿,从而不断强化这种正面效益[58,120]。心理学理论将其解释为“记忆效用影响决策效用”,即对积极出行的正面评估会提高未来再次选择该模式的可能性[38]。相反,心理不适或困扰会阻碍人们进行包括积极出行在内的各类体力活动,从而抑制出行者选择积极出行的意愿。例如,患有抑郁症或面临抑郁风险的成年人通常更难开展日常体力活动[104]。然而,一项探索两者双向关系的纵向研究发现:积极出行对心理健康有显著影响,但心理健康对积极出行的反作用并不明显[120]。因此,未来的研究需要进一步探讨和验证这一机制。

4 总结与讨论

4.1 结论和政策启示

积极出行对于降低交通碳排放和改善居民健康福祉等方面具有重要贡献。自2012年以来,积极出行对心理健康与福祉的影响效应及机制逐渐成为国内外研究热点,特别是强化了对出行行为本身和出行过程中环境暴露的关注。其中,大部分实证研究结果支持积极出行对心理健康与福祉的正面作用,但具体效应可能因出行模式、强度和目的的不同而具有差异。这个影响效益还会受到个人因素(社会经济属性和态度偏好)以及空间因素的调节而产生异质性。积极出行对男性、白领等特征人群,以及持积极交通友好态度的群体的心理改善更为显著,而适当的高密度城市空间和紧凑发展的社区环境也更有利于积极出行者的心理状态。
在作用路径方面,首先,积极出行通过其低成本、时空优势以及带来的情绪和社会心理效益,直接提升心理健康和福祉水平。其次,积极出行能够通过实现体力活动、生理机能和感官能力等各方面的生理功能提升,间接地改善心理状态。此外,环境因素也不容忽视。由于积极出行充分暴露于外界物理环境中,建成环境和自然环境的友好或不利条件会相应调节其心理健康效应。同时,积极出行所营造的良好社会环境丰富了居民的社交活动,从而为维持良好的心理健康和幸福感提供支持。最后,居民心理健康状态会反向促进(或抑制)积极出行意愿,从而形成反馈循环。
通过规划和政策手段促进积极出行能够提升全民健康与福祉,本文发现可为政策制定提供启示。首先,发挥积极出行在心理层面的正向效用,需要明确推广积极出行的目标。这不仅包括维持原有积极出行者的习惯,还包括鼓励更多机动出行者转向积极交通模式,并且强调在生活出行中的普及。一些研究还观察到,积极出行带来的情绪变化可能对日常活动表现产生溢出效应,例如员工的工作绩效或学生的学习效率[48,129]。因此,可以重点针对部分人群进行推广,特别是那些日常缺乏体力活动的脑力工作者。其次,着力营造积极出行友好环境,为出行者带来安全、趣味和美观的环境体验,有益于发挥积极出行的健康效应。例如,将自然风景融入步道和自行车道设计,提升街道美学,创造愉悦的出行过程;适当实施交通宁静措施,限制机动车通行,减少机动交通带来的心理压力;在非机动道路上设置充足的行道树、遮阳棚和照明设施,以缓解负面暴露导致的消极情绪;为积极出行者提供适宜的城市广场和绿色开放空间,鼓励社交活动。再次,应考虑人群异质性,注重政策的个性化和包容性。针对不同社会经济属性和态度偏好的群体,实施差异化举措,满足各类人群的心理需求,例如增设监控缓解女性交通压力,或通过共享单车租赁优惠减轻低收入群体的经济负担等。

4.2 讨论与思考

随着中国高质量发展战略的实施和对提升居民福祉的倡导,开展积极出行与心理健康的相关研究具有重要的理论与实践意义。相较于国际研究的丰富和深入,中文期刊上的相关研究仍处于初级阶段,未来研究(特别是国内研究)依然有很大提升空间。
第一,现有研究主要聚焦于步行和自行车,对新兴积极模式和“积极交通+”的多式联运方式关注不足。特别是,在中国交通情境下,共享单车和(助力)电动车占有重要比例,需要更多地关注这些模式及多模式交通对健康与福祉的影响。第二,未来研究应尽量覆盖各类人群,避免人口统计偏差,或针对不同社会经济属性或态度偏好的人群开展研究,以精准解释特定群体的影响效应。第三,现有研究的数据多来源于大型城市,缺乏对于中小城市的关注和不同城市的比较。未来研究应拓展研究范围,加强对中小城市乃至乡村地区的研究。此外,实证研究可采用穿戴设备收集实时心理和出行数据,以提升数据精确度和时效性,减少回忆偏误。第四,多数研究依赖静态横截面研究,限制了对变量时间顺序的分析,难以有效排除其他变量的干扰。这类结果仅能揭示相关关系,对影响机制的解释存在局限。建议更多地采用纵向研究和自然(干预)试验方法,关注长期动态变化,增强因果机制推断的鲁棒性。此外,积极出行强度对心理健康与福祉的影响可能呈现阈值效应,而非简单的线性关系,这点也有待进一步的探讨与验证。
此外,国内研究应探索具有中国特色的研究主题和原创知识,从而形成适用于中国城市发展的本土化理论创新和实践指南。例如,探讨在中国城市特有的出行结构中,多类型或涉及多模式的积极出行方式是否对心理健康与福祉有不同影响?考虑到中国城市在机动化水平、环境特性和出行文化等方面与西方的显著差异,积极出行与心理健康之间的关系将呈现怎样的差异?这些都是需要深入探讨的问题。
本文也存在一定的局限性。首先,本文没有严格区分积极出行的模式类型和测度方式,而是依据基本特征将其视作整体概念。因此,未单独讨论不同积极出行模式本身可能存在的影响效应和机制的差异。其次,深入分析积极出行在多种影响因素中的相对效应大小,能够更清楚地揭示其对心理健康与福祉的具体贡献。这不仅有助于强化研究结论的科学性,还能为制定更加精准的公共政策提供依据。受限于篇幅和现有知识,仅总结了积极出行影响心理健康与福祉的方向性和具体路径,但未能量化积极出行对心理健康的影响效应。最后,总结的效应和机制是基于平均水平的普遍规律,可能无法解释某些特殊群体身上的互动关系。
