Abstract

Community refers to people, the place where people live, and their operating system. This study pays attention to built environment(BE) for placed-and-community-focused approaches to health promotion. It also explored a potential of BE-focused health promotion to encourage community participation. Most of research on BE and health so far has been based in the U.S. and focused on obesogenic BE. Thus the current health promotion approach aims to create BE where active living is encouraged and healthy foods are available, accessible, and affordable. Korean studies shows a similar pattern except that there are more urban planning studies than public health studies at this point. Multi-sectoral collaboration with active community participation and the role and competence of community governance system such as the Health Cities are at the center of this approach. BE is the environment of everyday that is familiar and relevant to the community, BE-related issues can serve as a basis for community participation. Research should enhance research design and methods, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, and advanced evaluation in the BE and health promotion. Multi-methods, mixed methods, and action research approaches are encouraged. BE perspectives should broaden to address topics beyond obesogenic characteristics.
