Table 1 Goals, dimensions, methods and tools for work package A

From: The GREENH-City interventional research protocol on health in all policies

Goal:

• constitute a baseline database of each healthy city according to its socio-demographic, geographic, green spaces characteristics and characterize the HiAP approaches in the 80 cities

• build city profiles according to its socio-demographic, geographic, green spaces characteristics and characterize the HiAP approaches in the 80 cities

Dimensions analyzed

Methods and tools

Elements of description of each city that will be used as context factors concerning the demographic situation and dynamics, socio-economic heterogeneity, urban segregation (a dissimilarity index will be constructed by an aggregation of different indicator: unemployment rate, worker’s rate, higher education rate and median income at infra-communal scales)

Web-based data collection using the national socio-demographic base (INSEE. Data will be analyzed with Excel software

Information about urban green spaces (quantity, surface area, etc.) to appreciate the coverage of urban green spaces in each city (relevance of urban green space in the city, share of urban green space per inhabitant, etc.)

Web-based data collection using the national geographic and topographic base (IGN) and the participative Open Street Map data set will be used. Data will be analyzed with Excel software and mapped with Philcarto and ArcGis programs

HiAP approaches will be studied according to the degree of maturity drawing on the works of Storm et al. [51] and to the extent to which they address health inequities and green spaces in policy making

Two different online surveys: one for the elected officials and the practitioners responsible for the cities’ heath issues, and the other for the officials in charge of green space management
