3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Conceptual Models: Source: From Built Environment To Health: An Evidence and Best Practices Based Review Lawrence Frank and Company, December 2007 Created by: Paul Conway Office of Public Health Practice Public Health Agency of Canada January 2008 Project Team: Paul Conway, Systems Analyst, Public Health Agency of Canada Dr. David Mowat, Medical Officer of Health, Peel Public Health Gayle Bursey, Director, Chronic Disease & Injury Prevention, Peel Public Health Bhavna Sivanand, Project Specialist, Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention, Peel Public Health Aarti Soni, Project Specialist, Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention, Peel Public Health Steering Committee Members: Louise Aubin, Manager, Environmental Health, Peel Public Health Kiran Ghai, Research and Policy Analyst, Environmental Health, Peel Public Health Teresa Pisani, Planner, Environment, Transportation and Planning Services Dawn Machado, Supervisor, Family Health, Peel Public Health Region of Peel
4 DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS Systems thinking is an approach for viewing and understanding the real world, and its associated issues and problems through the construction, analysis, and communication of models. Models are excellent illustration techniques for identifying component parts of a system. Component parts are best understood within the context of their relationships with other system parts, rather than in isolation. Consistent with systems philosophy, systems thinking concerns an understanding of a system by examining the linkages and interactions between the variables that compose the entirety of the overall system. Systems thinking attempts to illustrate that events are separated by distance and time and that small catalytic events can cause large effects in complex systems. Acknowledging that an improvement in one area of a system can adversely affect another area of the system, it promotes organizational communication at all levels in order to avoid the silo effect. Systems thinking techniques may be used to study any kind of system natural, scientific, engineered, human, or conceptual. Peel Region has been applying systems thinking to better understand the effects of urban form on the health of populations. The report entitled First Draft of Evidence and Best Practices Review, by Lawrence Frank and Company was used as the basis for the systemsbased modelling activities. The modelling activities applied a topdown/ bottomup approach in which the following tasks were conducted: document analysis, identification of components and component parts, illustration of components and component parts, illustration of component part relationships, and illustration of component relationships. Document analysis consisted of gaining contextual knowledge of the document s contents. Components were determined by the subject headings, or chapters, of the Lawrence Frank and Company report. The component parts were determined by the section or paragraph heading of each component and referenced on the models by page number (appearing within brackets). Component parts relationships were determined through the understanding of variable relationships, either positive (reinforcing) or negative (balancing), as identified by studies referenced within the report. Finally, component relationships were aggregated based on the estimation of requirements by the modelling authority without direction from Peel Region. A final highlevel aggregate (Contextual Model) was then synthesized, without Peel Region direction, from the four component models thereby completing the topdown/ bottomup approach. The components consist of Built Environment Neighbourhood Design, Air Pollution, Pedestrian Safety, and Mental Health. Region of Peel
5 The component parts of Built Environment Neighbourhood Design are: Neighbourhood Design, Other Influential Factors, Building and Site Design, Street Design and Pedestrian/ Cyclist Facilities, Floor Area Ration, Health Impacts of Obesity, Physical Activity, Diet and Body Weight, Overall Neighbourhood Walkability, Street Connectivity, Density and Land Use Mix, Transit Service and Street Design/ Pedestrian Facilities. The component parts of Air Pollution are: Exposure to Air Pollution, Per Kilometer Pollution Emission Rates, Regional Air Pollution, Localized Air Pollutants, Factories, Power Plants and Rail Corridors, MicroEnvironmental Conditions, Regional Air Pollution (2), Global Air Pollution, Health Impacts of Air Pollution, Deviation from Weather Norms, Neighbourhood Walkability Index, Vehicle Miles Travelled, Access to Public Transit, Employee Transit/ Ridesharing, Employment Centers, Vehicle Miles Travelled (2), Walkability Index (2), Residential Density, Key Outcome Indicators, Key Outcome Indicators (2), Health Benefit Conflict, and Employment Density. The component parts Pedestrian Safety are: Severity of Collisions, Pedestrian Safety, Health Impacts of Traffic Crashes, Safety of Walking Environment, Pedestrian Exposure to Traffic, Traffic, Speed, Volume and Street Design, MidBlock Crosswalks, Pedestrian Crash Risk, Driver Awareness of Walkers/ Cyclists, Holistic Application of Interventions, and Intersection Safety. The component parts of Mental Health are: Community Social Support, Proximity to Nature, Time Spent Driving, Physical Activity, and Time Spent Driving (2).
