Abstract

Many studies show that regular moderate physical activity such as walking and cycling is beneficial for health promotion. The aim of this study is to propose polices promoting physical activity and measure their effects. Focusing on the transport behavior access to living environment facilities, two policies are considered. One is supplying well-paved road for walking and cycling, another is providing information about the relationship between physical activity and health. First, we estimate the health awareness of residents by a questionnaire survey carried out in Tokushima urban areas and find out that about 30% of residents are considered health is important in their behavior. And then, the quantity of physical activity is calculated. The quantity of physical activity under policies is found to be 1.5~7.2Ex per week more than that without policies.
