Abstract

This presentation was given at the RECLAIM Network conference in September 2023. In this project we investigate the relationship between GBGI and self-reported life satisfaction and wellbeing over a long time period at high-resolution in Bristol. Multiple GBGI factors were explored, including detailed mapping of GBGI exposure and reported satisfaction with and frequency of use of GBGI. No significant relationships have been found between GBGI exposure and self-reported life satisfaction and wellbeing. However, significant associations found between GBGI satisfaction and frequency of use and self-reported life satisfaction and wellbeing. GBGI satisfaction and frequency of use is somewhat linked to GBGI exposure. Our findings suggest that enhancing GBGI exposure in itself is not likely to directly lead to improvements in LS and wellbeing. However, improving the quality of and peoples experience of GBGI and their local environment (as well as exposure) is potentially important in enhancing life satisfaction and wellbeing.
