Abstract

Objectives: Recent movements in urban planning propose a promotion of health condition as one of its emerging topics as growing body of evidence suggests that individual health is correlated with the built environment. The concept of healthy city was introduced in Korea and many local governments were tried to implement relevant policies. However, empirical studies were insufficient for understanding the relationship between health and the built environment. Most studies and policies were viewed and implemented from public health perspective. The purpose of this study is to estimate a value of healthy city as an activity-friendly environment.
Methods: The 195-respondent survey data in Seoul Metropolitan Area was used for estimating the perception of healthy cities.
Results: Survey results reported that more than 90% of respondents did walking and/or biking regularly. Moreover, they were willing to pay \3,695 per month for creating healthy cities.
Conclusions: This study confirmed that the consideration of built environmental factor was necessary in policies of healthy city. This can offer insights into how to manage and develop the policies of healthy city to help promote individual health conditions.
