Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948
constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity.". the context in which an individual lives is a great importance
for both his health status and quality of their life. It is increasingly recognized that health is
maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science,
but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society.
According to the World Health Organization, the main determinants of health include the social
and economic environment, the physical environment, and the person's individual characteristics
and behaviours.
Many factors combine together to affect the health of individuals and communities.
Whether people are healthy or not, is determined by their circumstances and environment. To a
large extent, factors such as where we live, the state of our environment, genetics, our income
and education level, and our relationships with friends and family all have considerable impacts
on health, whereas the more commonly considered factors such as access and use of health care
services often have less of an impact.
The environment is often cited as an important factor influencing the health status of
individuals. This includes characteristics of the natural environment, the built environment, and
the social environment. Factors such as clean water and air, adequate housing, and safe
communities and roads all have been found to contribute to good health, especially to the health
of infants and children. Some studies have shown that a lack of neighbourhood recreational
spaces including natural environment leads to lower levels of personal satisfaction and higher
levels of obesity, linked to lower overall health and well being. This suggests that the positive
health benefits of natural space in urban neighborhoods should be taken into account in public
policy and land use.
