目的--这篇论文的目的是报道一项调查身体活动和工作场所设计之间关系的研究。特别是，本文探讨了一个新的工作场所建筑的社会生态背景。这篇白皮书试图理解为什么尽管在设计过程中受到员工健康委员会的影响，为什么新建筑没有观察到员工更好的体力活动结果；根据现有的最佳实践指标取得成功；以及员工报告对新建筑的幸福感、精力和满意度增加。设计/方法/方法-在组织从占用了30年的建筑搬到新的专门设计的建筑时，从机会主义的体力活动前/后体力活动研究中将三个设计方面作为重点。这项研究是通过混合方法进行的，融合了人种学、建筑学和量化的方法。发现-社会、空间和个人背景对于理解参与者基于工作场所的身体活动非常重要。尽管新大楼的健康和福祉目标以及五星级绿色星级成果，但参与者在两座大楼的大部分工作日都是久坐不动的。实际影响-设计良好的环境可以支持员工感觉更健康，但五星级绿星级评级并不能隐含地确保更健康的、促进活动的环境。设施经理和设计师可以作为工作场所最直接的流通选择来提供身体活动路径。原创性/价值-这项研究的原创性在于有机会在组织、劳动力和工作类型保持不变、变量是建筑设计、空间配置和位置的情况下对身体活动进行事前/事后研究。这项研究中使用的方法来自健康促进和建筑研究实践。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to report on research investigating the relationship between physical activity and workplace design. In particular, the paper explores the social-ecological context of a new workplace building. This paper seeks to understand why better physical activity outcomes for the staff were not observed in the new building despite influence from a staff wellness committee during design; achieving success against existing best-practice indicators; and staff reporting increased feelings of wellness, energy and satisfaction with the new building.Design/methodology/approach - Three design aspects are taken as a focus from within an opportunistic pre-/post-physical activity study of an organisation as they move from a building they occupied for 30 years into a new purpose-designed building. This study was conducted through mixed methods, incorporating ethnographic, architectural and quantitative means.Findings - The social, spatial and personal context is important for understanding participant workplace-based physical activity. Despite the health and well-being goals and 5 Star Green Star outcomes of the new building, participants were sedentary for a substantive part of their workday in both buildings.Practical implications - A well-designed environment can support staff feeling healthier, but the 5 Star Green Star rating does not implicitly ensure a healthier, activity-promoting environment. Facilities managers and designers can act to provide physically active paths as the most straightforward circulation option in workplaces.Originality/value - The originality of this study lies in the opportunity to conduct a pre-/post-study of physical activity where the organisation, workforce and type of work are constant and where the variable is the building design, spatial configuration and location. The methods used in this study draw from both health promotion and architectural research practices.
