Our findings of a greater correspondence between perceived and objective convenience in the case of pharmacies, schools and libraries, therefore raises questions as to whether this is reflected in higher usage of these amenities and/or is reflective of a view of these amenities as being of a more or less personalised nature.
We recognise that being well-placed does not necessarily equate with neighbourhood satisfaction [ 63], and that residential proximity may not be imperative in influencing usage of local amenities; the quality of a resource may be of greater importance but we do not have this data, nor do we possess data on which amenities respondents use.
People may not use adjacent amenities to their home as they may be unsuitable, for example a study in Glasgow found that while participants agreed that objective access to green space was important, it was not the only factor which influenced usage.
(That number could be way higher when accounting for their high-end amenities that could bump up energy usage, like HD TVs, Sub Zero freezers and other top-line appliances).
Further research is needed to examine how usage varies in parks with different features and amenities and how programming and park design can optimize park visitation and park-based physical activity for all park visitors.
Crowdsourced feedback about state park usage also allowed for more targeted marketing of activities and amenities.
16 17 Information on household amenities, such as availability of drinking water from a treated source, usage of clean cooking fuel, and drainage and sanitation facilities, at the district level for the mentioned states, was used as predictor variables.
Our data show that girls in particular may have been drawn to the amenity value of school latrines, given indictors of acceptability and usage in Sanitation + HP&WT schools (Table 3).
Information for species in other usage categories was similarly poor: of 158 tree species used for agroforestry, amenity or unclassified purposes (for which the location of introduction was known), the date of introduction was obtained for only 16 (10percentt).
Improved sanitation, usage of clean cooking fuel and drinking water from a treated source were used as the proxy indicators of amenities to check their relationship with child health conditions.
Energy usage and operations and maintenance costs for hotels vary according to a number of factors, including occupancy rates, amenity offerings and geographical locations.
