This includes presentation of the health-related approach associated with the increasingly sedentary lifestyles across the worldwide populations. It also describes how scientific research demonstrates the value of exploring the design for office site mobility -- Part 2: Space-use and the history of the office building represents an overview of the history of office architectural design from ancient to present times. Along with recent concepts, theories, and practice, it also introduces ideas on how the workplace is currently changing and how it further develops to respond to the current trends in office working -- Part 3: Research methods introduces the reader to current methods of measuring and mapping mobility in different environments and disciplines. Based on these, the methods selected for the purposes of this research are presented -- Part 4: Identifying factors of the office architectural design that influence mobility illustrates research data collection results on the basis of which statistical analysis is carried out. From this analysis, a quantitative (KINESIS) model is designed -- Conclusion and further objectives are suggested in the final chapter of this book. 330 $aThis concise volume analyzes the potential for the workplace environment?where so many people spend so much of their day?to improve workers? capacity for health and wellness. It pinpoints the link between sedentary lifestyles and poor health, and explores the role of office spatial design in encouraging physical activity to promote physical activity, health and prevent disease. The featured research study tracks workers? movement in a variety of office layouts, addressing possible ways movement-friendly design can co-exist with wireless communication, paperless offices, and new corporate concepts of productivity. From these findings, the author?s conclusions extend public health concepts to recognize that influencing population-wide levels of activity through office architectural design alone may be possible. This SpringerBrief is comprised of chapters on : Physical activity and disease: Theory and practice Space-use and the history of the office building Identifying factors of the office architectural design that influence movement, Interdisciplinary research methods in studying worker physical activity, decision-making and office design characteristics The KINESIS model for simulating physical activity in office environments The questions and potential for solutions in Workplace Environmental Design in Architecture for Public Health will interest and inform researchers in interdisciplinary topics of public health and architecture as well as graduate and post-graduate students, architects, economists, managers, businesses as well as health-conscious readers. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Public Health,$x2192-3698 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aInterior architecture 606 $aInteriors 606 $aOccupational medicine 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aInterior Architecture and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K15007 606 $aOccupational Medicine/Industrial Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H42001 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aInterior architecture. 615 0$aInteriors. 615 0$aOccupational medicine. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aInterior Architecture and Design. 615 24$aOccupational Medicine/Industrial Medicine. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a729 700 $aRassia$b Stamatina Th$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0790086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254464903321 996 $aWorkplace Environmental Design in Architecture for Public Health$91763348 997 $aUNINA
