ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis studies the motivations for the place of physical activity for runners, and how geography influences the amount of physical activity conducted. The rural appeared to be the most preferred place for physical activity among runners. The environment and perceived safety are not
significantly influencing physical activity levels of respondents. The thesis also showed that older respondents tend to be slightly more physically active than their younger peers, that people would run more if the environment was more suitable to do so, and that feelings of unsafety are mainly prevalent in women.
