Purpose: In spite of many Healthy Cities projects in Korea, there are few research about healthy urban planning. So we tried to use available recent models to a Healthy Cities project in a medium sized city in Gyeongnam province. Methods: Using mainly European Healthy Urban Planning Model and opinion leader survey, SWOT analysis, forum and discussion have been done to a city. Secondary city health indicator obtained from Ministry of Statistics. Results: There are strong need to develop health industry, green traffic and healthy living from survey using Healthy Cities policy direction of Korean Health Promotion Fund. Among the Healthy Urban Planning objectives, improvements of physical environments, prevention of accidents and crime, improvements of healthy esthetics rated highly. Although environmental pollution was problem local government push forward to the pilot healthy urban project as active healthy water-front development. Considering secondary healthy city indicators, change of external forces and internal capacity final task for healthy urban planning for Yangsan city were development of riverside physical education park and active living and anti-ageing environments etc. Conclusions: Comprehensive assessment and plan was possible through MAPP Model using European Healthy Urban Planning objectives to draw the direction of future urban planning for Healthy Cities Projects. Further research and formal introduction would be needed.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of healthy city policies on residents' walking. In order to estimate promotion of walking rates by healthy cities policies, it developed System dynamics(SD)-based model which showed causal relationships among urban design, public health policies, and walking levels. SD technique is useful for future forecast and policy impact assessment. The spatial units of the SD-based system for policy impact assessment included 66 cities, counties, and communities in Seoul Metropolitan Area. The system simulation was planned to be run for 21 years from 2009 to 2030. For this study, 3 alternatives were proposed with combinations of length of bike lanes, number of bus routes, crime rates, self-reported good health status rates, and obesity rates. As a result of simulations, residents' participation rates for walking were increased from 1.00% to 9.98%. This study contributes to better understanding the benefits of healthy cities that are associated with individual walking. It further provided useful insights into planners' role in promoting health. The paper concluded with a discussion on future research opportunities and implications for public policies in urban and transportation and public health.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the healthy living practice rate such as non-smoking, moderate drinking, walking, and low-salt diet by elementary municipality (so called, 'si-gun-hu'). Methods: The 2016 Korean Community Health Survey was used for the analysis. The theoretical model is founded upon the Anderson model, and both the multiple linear regression analysis and the beta regression analysis was performed for estimation. Results: As a result of the beta regression analysis, healthy living practice rate was found to be significantly higher in the areas with a less number of cigarette retailers, participating in healthy city projects, a low proportion of people who perceive their body type as obesity, a higher proportion of women, and a lower proportion of spouses. Conclusion: In order to improve healthy living practices, the regulations on health risk businesses, the spread of Healthy City project, and policy efforts awaring obesity are recommended.

Objectives: This study aims at evaluating performance of the Healthy Cities in Korea during the period of 2008-2010. Furthermore, it will explore future direction for qualitative growth of the Healthy Cities in Korea. Methods: A survey has been conducted annually with current healthy cities; 46 in 2009, 56 in 2010 and 60 in 2011. Survey instrument consists of 13 questions to evaluate general status, implementation system and sub-programs, and the result of the survey was analyzed by using PASW Statistic 18.0 focusing on categorizing healthy cities and looking at sub-programs trends. Results: In 2010, there are 60 Healthy Cities in Korea, whose number grows continuously. The most noticeable characteristic is that administrative bodies in urban area strongly promote the Healthy Cities Project, while the projects are usually associated with other health promotion projects rather than independently carried out. Also, their sub-programs are concentrated on 'healthy-setting' and 'healthy lifestyle programs'. Conclusions: To improve the quality of the Healthy Cities in Korea, a number of requirements should be met. The most urgent requirement is sector-wide comprehensive policy fostering Healthy Cities development strategy. Moreover, it is expected that over-arching theme should be set up under the framework of National Healthy Cities Network.

Tall buildings' implementation has often lacked urban design and architectural guidance. There are many examples of tall buildings that have been inappropriately located, designed, and built, and consequently dissatisfaction with high-rise development is wide-spread. This paper attempts to provide extensive urban and architectural guidelines in order to manage cityscape and to ensure safe and healthy living. Through recommendations on design and layout of tall buildings and open spaces the guidelines seek enhancing the visual experience, improving the microclimate conditions, and fostering active social life. These guidelines help in providing enjoyable urban experiences through the examination of spatial relationships, human scale, genius loci, perceptual characteristics, local identity, built heritage, economic activities, and social life.

성인을 중심으로 건강도시를 논의한 기존 연구와 달리, 본 연구는 청소년 비만에 영향을 미치는 도시 특성을 규명하고자 했다. 도시특성이 청소년 비만에 영향을 미치는 기제(mechanism)에 대한 엄격한 의학적 이론이 드물기 때문에 본 연구는 선행연구 검토를 통해 청소년 비만에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되는 도시특성을 도출하고, 이를 토대로 회귀분석을 했다. 교육부의 학생 신체검사 자료를 이용하여 서울 시내 각 학교별 비만학생 비율을 종속변수로 설정했다. 선행연구를 통해 파악한 도시특성을 각 학교를 중심으로 하는 일정 반경(500m, 1000m, 1500m) 내에서 버퍼분석(buffer analysis)으로 측정한 뒤, 독립변수로 설정했다. 회귀분석한 결과, 성인교육수준이 낮을수록, 단독 연립 다세대 다가구 주택이 많을수록, 노후 주택이 많을수록, 토지이용혼합도가 낮을수록 비만청소년이 많았다. 인구밀도, 대중교통 접근성, 도시공원 등은 유의하지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 청소년 비만율을 낮추거나 관리하기 위한 도시계획 방안이 앞으로 더욱 논의되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Regional disparities in dietary factors might be related to regional disparities in cardiometabolic health. Therefore, this study investigated the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors and dietary factors with regional types in Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Based on data from the 2007-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study included 39,781 adults aged ≥ 19 years who completed the dietary survey and a health examination. Healthy and unhealthy dietary factors (fat, sodium, fruit, and vegetable intakes) were evaluated using 1-day 24-h dietary recall method, as well as the use of nutrition labels with a questionnaire. RESULTS: Of the participants, 48.7%, 36.0%, and 15.2% lived in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas, respectively. Adults living in urban and rural had higher odds ratios (ORs) for obesity (OR for urban, 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.14; OR for rural, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05-1.24) than adults living in metropolitan areas; these associations were significantly observed in middle-aged adults. Compared to metropolitan residents, rural residents had lower ORs for hypertension in middle-aged (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.96) and metabolic syndrome in older adults (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.91). Regarding urban residents, a lower OR for diabetes in middle-aged adults (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.97) and a higher OR for hypertension in older adults (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39) were observed. Overall rural residents had higher ORs of excessive carbohydrate, low fruit, and high salted-vegetable intakes than metropolitan residents. Low fruit intake was positively associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension, after adjustment for regional type and other confounders in total participants. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that cardiometabolic risk and unhealthy dietary factors differ among regional types and age groups within Korea. Nutritional policy and interventions should consider regional types for prevention and management of cardiometabolic risk factors.
