Table 1 Spatial and mobility data summary. Spatial data includes tracts from the Census, and parks from OSM. Mobility information includes TimeGeo trajectories and location of other-type activities (OA). P.A. stands for park area and U.P.A. for urban park area (parks smaller than 1 km2). OA with park exposure correspond to OA with parks not farther than 200 m. Trajectories with park exposure (traj. w/ park exposure) are trajectories including at least one OA with park exposure. MTD to OA stands for median of the travel distance from home to the other type activities (euclidean distance between home and other activities, calculated for each trajectory)
