Signature project 4a, Seasonality, Mobility, and Livability investigated the effects of weather, season, built environment, community amenities, attitudes, and demographics on mobility and quality of life (QOL). A four season panel survey examined these variables through an in depth survey and a 24-hour travel log. After the first phase (season) the potential to co-investigate health effects within the context of mobility and qol was realized. Therefore, in the second phase of the study a health module was added that allowed for investigation of food choice, exercise, and weight status. This report is organized by first introducing the principal research question then following with secondary and tertiary research questions. The report follows this structure through the introduction, methodology, results, and conclusion. Chapter 4, dissemination, will discuss how the work has and will be distributed. When commonality exists in introducing broad concepts and methodology it will be discussed at the beginning of the respective chapter. Specific details of that research area will be discussed within the sub-chapters. |
