Health Promoting Outdoor Environments

The course is largely carried out through group work, and is divided into three steps. In step one, literature review, the students identify relevant aspects of health promoting environments for different user groups and for people in general and compile useful literature. This is reported in a written literature review. In step two, different ways of investigating and analysing outdoor spaces in relation to different user groups’ specific needs as well as to people’s general needs are identified and/or developed and tried out. This is reported orally in seminars and in written reports. In step three different strategies to form programs for health promoting environments are developed and compared. This step is also reported orally in seminars and in written reports. The course consists of lectures, exercises (compulsory), group assignments (compulsory), individual assignments (compulsory), seminars (compulsory), and study visits (compulsory).

The course combines mandatory online meetings with tasks carried out in groups and independently, see information below from course leader.
