Understanding the way that the urban environment affects the human body is important for the advancement of urban health and wellbeing. Wearable technologies can be used to collect data related to physiological responses, such as electrodermal activity (EDA). However, it is difficult to interpret data collected in the wild without contextual information. Previous studies in the urban domain have also ignored the effect of exercise as a stressor. This study emphasizes the possible effects of movement on physiological responses during outdoor walking, and presents a methodology for analyzing physiological responses based on activity data and freely available contextual data from OpenStreetMap. The methodology is applied to analyze the physiological responses of walkers while navigating an outdoor route in Sydney, Australia. Statistical analysis is conducted to identify the effect of selected urban features and movement on physiological responses. The results suggest that the duration and intensity of activity, as well as the density of mixed-use affect physiological responses significantly.
