With the acceleration of China’s urbanization process,the scale of cities is expanding,and the urban spatial structure is constantly adjusted,breaking the traditional residential structure model and changing the way residents travel.At the same time,rapid urbanization has brought about an increase in the number of motor vehicles,which further damages the urban environment.The rapid changes in the living environment and lifestyle brought about by urbanization have also caused urban residents to face a series of health challenges such as obesity and mental health.Domestic and foreign researches on the built environment and residents’ health are becoming more and more abundant,but domestic research started relatively late.Most of the researches focus on the impact of the built environment on health behaviors,or the direct impact of the built environment on residents’ health.There are still insufficient researches on whether there is a mediating effect between health.Therefore,this paper selects nine residential communities in the Xiangfang Old Industrial Zone to investigate the impact of residential built-in environmental factors on residents’ health,explore the intermediary effect path that affects residents’ health,and analyze the impact of different types of residential built environments on residents’ health.difference.This research takes the residents of the old industrial zone of Harbin Xiangfang as the research object,and uses the research methods such as questionnaire survey and structural equation modeling to construct a model of the impact of built environment factors on the health of residents.This paper first uses the method of questionnaire survey to collect data,and based on the literature review and the actual situation of the old industry in Xiangfang,extracts the built environment factors of 5 categories and 22 subcategories of settlements.And use the International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ)short paper and the Warwick-Edinburgh Positive Mental Health Scale(WEMWBS)to obtain the residents’ physical activity level and mental health level,and use the body index(BMI)as a measure of residents’ physical health.Secondly,this article uses structural equation models to establish multiple path analysis models to analyze the relationship between the built environment and the health of residents in the three types of settlements.Taking the level of physical activity as an intermediary variable,it studies the intermediary effect test of the impact of the built environment on the health of residents,and comprehensively explores the impact of the built environment of the residential area on the health of residents.The study found that built environment factors can affect the physical and mental health of residents,and in different types of settlements,built environment factors have different effects on residents’ health.At the same time,the analysis of the mediation effect concluded that the built environment factors not only directly affect the health of residents,but also indirectly affect the health of residents by affecting the level of physical activity of residents.Based on the results of the model,combined with the actual situation of the Xiangfang Old Industrial Zone,this paper proposes strategies to optimize the built environment of the residential area and improve the health of residents from the perspectives of comprehensiveness and difference.To improve the residential environment,it is necessary to consider the integrity of the built environment as a whole,proceed with the overall situation and optimize the environment,but also to combine different types of residential areas,treat them differently,and make precise transformations.This paper studies the built environment of the residential area in the Xiangfang Old Industrial Zone of Harbin,and provides a reference for the renewal and reconstruction of the residential area in the old industrial zone and the establishment of a public health-oriented public decision-making mechanism.
