The way how the community is designed and their built environment conditions have a direct effect on the physical activity, injuries, health and well-being of its residents in both individual and community contexts. This project improves a reliable community assessment framework and tool with which people in a neighborhood can examine residential conditions and other environmental characteristics for use in pro-actively improving and strengthening their neighborhood. Students participate in field observation, built environment assessment, and/or identifying barriers and facilitators for walkable environment. |
