Abstract
The context of this study has made it possible to explore several relevant methodological issues related to the definition of neighbourhood units. This multi-perspective approach allows the combination of many different elements such as physical structures, historical and administrative boundaries, material and social deprivation of the population, and sense of belonging. Results made sense to local stakeholders and helped them to raise important issues to improve future developments.

Physical environment factors have consistent associations with physical activity behavior and further development of ecologic and environmental models, together with behavior-specific and context-specific measurement strategies, should help in further understanding of these associations.

The results suggest that access to a supportive physical environment is necessary, but may be insufficient to increase recommended levels of physical activity in the community, and that greater emphasis be placed on creating streetscapes that enhance walking for recreation and transport.

Neighbourhood characteristics are related to physical inactivity and contribute to neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities inPhysical inactivity is investigated and the increased probability of almost never walking, cycling and gardening in leisure time in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods was partly mediated by a poorer general physical design in these neighbourhoods.
