Abstract：
Street greenery may have a profound effect on residents\' active travel (AT), a mode of transportation involving walking and cycling. This study systematically reviewed the scientific evidence on the effects of street greenery on active travel.
A comprehensive search was performed using keywords and references in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. The review included studies that met the following criteria: (1) Study design: experimental studies, cross sectional studies, (2) Participants: individuals of all ages, (3) Exposure variables: street greenery, including street vegetation (e.g., trees, shrubs, and lawns), (4) Outcomes: active travel behaviors (walking, cycling), (5) Article type: peer-reviewed articles, (6) Search time window: from the inception of relevant electronic literature database until 21 June 2023, (7) Geographic scope: worldwide; (8) Language: articles in English.
Twenty-six cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. These studies employed objective metrics for assessing street greenery and varied methodologies to measure AT, including 14 using subjective measurements (like self-reported surveys), 10 using objective data (such as mobile app analytics), and two studies combined both approaches. This review identifies a generally positive impact of street greenery on active travel in various aspects. However, the extent of this influence varies with factors such as temporal factors (weekdays vs. weekends), demographic segments (age and gender), proximity parameters (buffer distances), and green space quantification techniques. Street greenness promotes active travel by enhancing environmental esthetics, safety, and comfort, while also improving air quality, reducing noise, and fostering social interactions. In addition, the study suggests that variables like weather, seasonality, and cultural context may also correlate with the effectiveness of street greenery in encouraging active travel.
Street greenery positively influences active travel, contributing to public health and environmental sustainability. However, the findings also indicate the need for more granular, experimental, and longitudinal studies to better understand this relationship and the underlying mechanisms. These insights are pivotal for urban planners and policymakers in optimizing green infrastructure to promote active transportation, taking into account local demographics, socio-economic factors, and urban design.

摘要：
■街道绿化可能会对居民的活跃旅行（AT）产生深远的影响，一种包括步行和骑自行车的交通方式。这项研究系统地回顾了有关街道绿化对主动旅行影响的科学证据。
■使用PubMed中的关键字和引用进行了全面搜索，WebofScience,Scopus,科克伦图书馆审查包括符合以下标准的研究：（1）研究设计：实验研究，横断面研究，（2）参与者：所有年龄段的个人，(3)暴露变量：街道绿化，包括街道植被(例如，树木,灌木,和草坪)，（4）结果：主动旅行行为（步行，骑自行车),（5）文章类型：同行评议文章，（6）搜索时间窗口：从相关电子文献数据库开始到2023年6月21日，（7）地理范围：全球；（8）语言：英文文章。
■26项横断面研究符合纳入标准并进行了分析。这些研究采用客观指标来评估街道绿化，并采用各种方法来衡量AT，包括14个使用主观测量(如自我报告的调查)，10使用客观数据(如移动应用分析)，两项研究结合了这两种方法。这篇评论确定了街道绿化在各个方面对活跃旅行的普遍积极影响。然而,这种影响的程度因时间因素(工作日与周末),人口统计部分(年龄和性别)，接近度参数(缓冲距离)，和绿色空间量化技术。街道绿色通过增强环境美学来促进主动出行，安全,和舒适，在改善空气质量的同时，降低噪音,促进社会互动。此外,研究表明，像天气这样的变量，季节性,和文化背景也可能与街道绿化鼓励积极旅行的有效性相关。
■街道绿化积极影响活跃的旅行，促进公共卫生和环境可持续性。然而,研究结果还表明需要更精细，实验性的,和纵向研究，以更好地理解这种关系和潜在的机制。这些见解对于城市规划者和决策者优化绿色基础设施以促进主动交通至关重要。考虑到当地的人口统计，社会经济因素,城市设计。
