Map-based assessment of older adults’ life space: validity and reliability

2020

Background Map-based tools have recently found their way into health-related research. They can potentially be used to quantify older adults’ life-space. This study aimed to evaluate the validity (vs. GPS) and the test-retest reliability of a map-based life-space assessment (MBA). Methods Life-space of one full week was assessed by GPS and by MBA. MBA was repeated after approximately 3 weeks. Distance-related (mean and maximum distance from home) and area-related (convex hull, standard deviational ellipse) life-space indicators were calculated. Intraclass correlations (MBA vs. GPS and test-retest) were calculated in addition to Bland-Altman analyses (MBA vs. GPS). Results Fifty-eight older …

Psychometric properties of the MOBITEC-GP mobile application for real-life mobility assessment in older adults

2022

Aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the life-space measures and walking speed delivered by the MOBITEC-GP app. Participants underwent several supervised walking speed assessments as well as a 1-week life-space assessment during two assessment sessions 9 days apart. Fifty-seven older adults (47.4% male, mean age= 75.3 (±5.9) years) were included in the study. The MOBITEC-GP app showed moderate to excellent test-retest reliability (ICCs between 0.584 and 0.920) and validity (ICCs between 0.468 and 0.950) of walking speed measurements of 50 meters and above and of most 1-week life-space parameters, including life-space area, time spent out-of-home, and action range. T…

Mapping Digital Discourses of the Capital Region of Finland : Combining Onomastics, CADS, and GIS

2022

This article discusses the three Finnish city names Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa, and the urban discourses that surround them. The study reveals patterns of socio-spatial differentiation by examining what meanings people attach to these capital region cities and investigating how these meanings are expressed in online discourses. Using the methodological approach of corpus-assisted onomastics (CAO), this study incorporates onomastics, geographical information systems (GIS), and corpus linguistics. This interdisciplinary research also examines how corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) and GIS can be combined to reveal and visualize the contextual information and discursive patterns of topo…

Lipas-aineistot

2021

Lipas on valtakunnallinen paikkatietokanta liikuntapaikoista, ulkoilureiteistä ja virkistysalueista. Lipas-tietokantaan kerätään tiedot Suomen julkisista, erityisesti kuntien omistamista liikuntapaikoista. Myös yksityisten yritysten ja yhdistysten hallinnoimia paikkoja löytyy tietokannasta. Tiedon tuottajina toimivat kuntien liikuntatoimen asiantuntijat yhteistyössä kunnan muiden toimialojen kanssa sekä virkistysalueyhdistykset ja lajiliitot. Lisäksi Lipas-projektissa tehdään aineiston kattavuuden ja laadun seurantaa ja tietojen täydennystä. Hankkeesta löytyy lisätietoa lipas.fi ja lipasinfo.fi. Hankkeesta julkaistaan säännöllisin väliajoin otoksia. Aineisto on ladattavissa myös hankkeen om…

A fuzzy-based tool for modelization and analysis of the vulnerability of aquifers: a case study

2005

Abstract A fuzzy-based tool, called FUZZY-SRA (Fuzzy Spatial Reliability Analysis), is used for realizing a more “reliable” study of the values of the final parameters concerning the vulnerability of aquifers located in the territory of Cava de' Tirreni, city in the district of Salerno (Italy). The SINTACS method is adopted for evaluating the involved parameters and these evaluations are modelled from attributes represented from triangular fuzzy numbers which supply the overall final information if combined with suitable algebraic operations. The tool FUZZY-SRA is implemented inside a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) software.

Effects of menu structure and touch screen scrolling style on the variability of glance durations during in-vehicle visual search tasks.

2011

The effects of alternative navigation device display features on drivers' visual sampling efficiency while searching forpoints of interest were studied in two driving simulation experiments with 40 participants. Given that the number of display items was sufficient, display features that facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations. As predicted, compared with a grid-style menu, searching information in a list-style menu while driving led to smaller variance in durations of in-vehicle glances, in particular with nine item displays. Kinetic touch screen scrolling induced a greater number of very short in-v…

Assessing travel time-based accessibility to outdoor ice skating fields for children in Helsinki during the COVID-19 pandemic

2022

This paper was written within the research project called “Equality in suburban physical activity environments, YLLI” (in Finnish: Yhdenvertainen liikunnallinen lähiö, YLLI) funded by the Suburban Programme 2020–2022 (in Finnish: Lähiöohjelma 2020–2022, decision number VN/10837/2020). Informal sport is central to Finnish children’s leisure and physical activity time. This paper aims to build a better understanding of the travel time-based accessibility to informal sports facilities, specifically to ice skating fields, for children and adolescents (aged 7–19) in the city of Helsinki. We focused on the winter of 2020–2021 because COVID-19 restrictions on indoor activities resulted in ice skat…
