Abstract
This research focuses on the effect of blue and green infrastructure on physical activity/sporting behavior, specified to the Stadspark XXL in Dordrecht. Most cities focus too much on grey infrastructure, which can lead to heat stress in summer. This focus on grey infrastructure has negative consequences for the overall health of the population, as the city has trouble cooling down and people will not move around as much as they should. Blue and green infrastructure could be a solution to this problem. To find out how and in what way blue and green infrastructure influences physical activity/sporting behavior in combination with heat stress, the main question is; “to what extent and in what way are physical activity and sports included in climate adaptation with regard to heat stress?”. This will be done by doing literature research, analyzing policy documents and conducting interviews. The data that comes from this will be analyzed on the basis of the Sport Experience Design framework by Funk (2016) and the human health indicators by Pakzad & Osmond (2016).
