Description

SOPARC is a widely used method for collecting data about park-based physical activity, however there have been no interactive tools designed for visualising this data. Due to this many researchers using the SOPARC method use tables, bar graphs, or other static methods to visualise the collected data. Many of these methods result in highly obfuscated visualisations. The aim of this research is to design an interactive tool for visualising SOPARC data that can produce user customised output according to their needs, is easy to use, allows for rapid differentiation of distinct areas, and allows for numerical results to be shown. An interactive visualisation tool has been designed and developed that uses a map-based approach, with colour and numerical overlays. This interactive visualisation tool will provide a new, more transparent way to make sense of SOPARC data that will enhance the decision making process for parks and related policies.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
